In the verdant valleys of Thimblewood, a gnome fighter known as Tillo Nimblefingers faced a formidable challenge. His opponent was none other than the renowned master of polearms, Sir Marcus Garrick. Sir Garrick, with his towering height and unmatched skill, had bested Tillo time and again. Undeterred, Tillo put his inventive mind to work, creating the ingenious Hand of Extension. This device, a fusion of metal and wood, culminated in an articulated mechanical hand, capable of extending Tillo's reach in combat.As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the training grounds, Tillo stood ready, his creation in hand. Sir Garrick approached, confident as ever, his polearm gleaming in the fading light. The duel commenced with a flurry of strikes and parries, the air humming with the sound of metal on metal. Tillo, with the aid of his mechanical marvel, matched Sir Garrick's every move, his weapon reaching further than ever before. The battle raged, and for the first time, the master polearm fighter found himself on the defensive, outmaneuvered by Tillo's cunning and the reach of the Hand of Extension. Victory was sweet for Tillo, as he proved that even the greatest of challenges could be overcome with creativity and resolve.
