Originally posted by Wumpspawner: In the svirfneblin's fair city, where the girls aren't so pretty, there's a shopkeeper who claims that he lost his dear boy. Now, enough of plagiarizing, bastardizing, and utterly destroying old lyrics to songs that were bad to begin with. Does this child actually exist, or is it another one of those "unfinished" quests? I've slain every lousy beholders, illithid, kua-toan, drow, and yes, deep gnome that I could find, though never all in the same game, and never found this rugrat. I just finished entering a long list of search queries revolving around the words "gnome" and "child" into out wonderful Ironworks search engine, here. Alas, it's all been to no avail. So, some wonderful samaritan who, like me, has little else to do but play this game over and over until they know every last detail and plotline and secret door and romanceable PC's underwear color please set my mind at ease and answer me once and for all whether this little half-sized nuisance does or does not exist? PLEASE?

But you didn't mention that you had killed a demon near the fair city of the svirfneblin. IIRC you have to fight a demon of some variety to complete the rescue of fair child.
