The gnomes started to chisel away at his body. Within seconds, they were all over him all working on their own jobs.
He felt his legs get shorter and thinner, his chest too. There was less muscle, but was still fairly built. Similarly his arms shortened. His hair
became slightly longer and white.
He felt himself getting shorter and smaller, until finally, there was a group of gnomes staring at him from head height.
"Welcome to our Clan", one of the gnomes said. He was handed some typical gnomish clothing - red shorts,a green top and a red hat.
He remained on the pedestal while the other gnomes danced and spoke odd words around him. They invested him in the clan.
