Refuse.

“No, I think I’ll just leave now,” you stand up. The gnomes behind you go to push you back down but you’re expecting that and reach back pushing them down instead. “I think you can’t stop me,” you say pointing your bat at the lead gnome.

“Us gnomes aren’t much for fighting, I was hoping to avoid it and still get our info. But I guess it will be the hard way,” he finishes before putting his fingers in his mouth letting out an ear splitting whistle. You keep an eye on the boss, and his two henchmen. Then you’re distracted by the sound of the fence jangling. Looking around you see more gnomes crawling over the fence, several of them holding various objects that they probably found in the neighborhood.

You swing your bat at the approaching gnomes. They go flying when you make contact. There are so many of them now, you’re not sure how long you can fend them off. You hit a gnome out of the air and watch him fly across the playground. He lands next to another gnome holding what appears to be a slingshot next to a floating green crystal.

You feel a sting, looking down a barb is stuck in your thigh with a wire trailing off towards the slingshot wielding gnome. The green crystal glows and you feel a surge of electricity rush through your body. You fall to the ground due to the gnomish taser. With your position of power gone, the gnomes swarm you and you’re tied up unable to move.

“You should’ve just helped us,” the boss gnome says standing over you. A large group of gnomes lift your bound body off the ground moving you towards a bench. The gnomes keep hold of you and retie your body so you’re left hugging the bench. The gnomes then move to cut away the clothes from your body, leaving you nude surrounded by a crowd of gnomes.
