The gnome in crushbone is actually part of the Tergon's Spellbook quest
which has recently been fixed since Bugglepup the gnome now spawns in
steamfont. When you talk to Tergon in ak'anon he says to retrieve a metal
pellet that he shot Bugglepup with and lost. Well once you return it to him
he tells you to search out his brother in Freeport and give him a letter
that tells him to give you the spellbook. So you goto freeport and learn
that he was captured by the orcs. So you take the letter to him in
crushbone and he tells you the oracle in the castle took the book. Kill the
oracle, return the book and tergon sends you to oot to kill a renegade gnome
thats taken up with the pirates of gunthark. Thats as far as I've gotten
with the quest.

I was really hopeing it would yield tinkering info because Tergon says he
shot bugglepup with one of his contraptions. (a tinker made shotgun of some
sort??) :) Anyone ever finish all of Tergon's quests to the end?
