-The last notes of your song twist into a mechanical whirr as your vision of the old gnome and his workshop return.  The workbench is heaped with various weapons, cloaks, pouches, belts, and shoes to the gnome's right, and a random collection of gems, pelts and buckles to his left.  The wizened craftsman hums merrily as he selects one thing from each pile, pops them into the ebonwood box perched on the workbench before him, and closes it.  From deep within the box, a mechanical whirring starts up, pushing you back into your natural time and place....

-Almost before you can begin your song, your vision is swept away to the tiny workshop.  A moment or two only seem to have passed, for the gnome has just reached into the ebonwood box set before him.  He dances about the room in a merry, disjointed little jig, holding up a spiked mithril mace with a star ruby set in its haft.  You reach out towards the box and wake from your revelry with a jolt, as the reality of the cold surface of the box you are holding brings you out of your song.

 A pale, pearly-grey fog mists your vision, slowly clearing to reveal a view of an unfamiliar city, seen from a great height.  A sense of vertigo sweeps over you as you swoop down into the city at impossible speed, flying through the narrow streets and into a tiny window near the foundation of a simple cottage.  Your dream-like flight comes to a sudden halt within a cluttered workshop filled with gears, springs, and other contraptions.  Seated on a high stool at the workbench in the middle of this mechanical maelstrom is a wizened gnome, busily tinkering with a polished ebonwood box.
