THE ADVENTURES OF ‘LIL GNOLLS
Episode 1: The Great Cookie Caper
One day, ‘lil Gnolls Royce was walking along the streets of Sigil with his best pal, the human street urchin Timmy. Timmy and Gnolls had been best pals ever since Gnolls helped him hide from a mean Harmonium thieftaker! Ever since then, they had been inseparable.
“Gee, Timmy,” Gnolls said while clutching his rumbly tummy. “I sure could go for a nice steak right about now! Timmy laughed and said “Oh, Gnolls. You’re always hungry!” The two best friends laughed and laughed, until they stopped dead in their tracks.
As they were passing the local bakery in the Hive ward, they noticed that the baker had left a plate of cookies out in front of the shop to cool! “Wow Gnolls,” said Timmy with a hungry look. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could have some of those cookies?” Gnolls responded, “Oh, boy! Let’s pool our money together and buy some.”
Timmy and Gnolls checked their pockets and looked at their combined resources. Gnolls had a piece of stale beef jerky, and Timmy had only a loose coat button. “Gee, Timmy. It looks like we don’t have enough money to buy any cookies.” Timmy frowned monentarily, then brightened up! “It’s okay! We can just steal some!” Gnolls gasped. Stealing was wrong! “But Timmy! Stealing is wrong!”
“Oh, who cares? The baker has dozens of cookies! He’ll never notice these are gone.” Gnolls couldn’t argue the logic. He was the only baker on the block. Surely he made many hundreds of customers, and many more cookies for them all! Surely he wouldn’t miss a single plate from the front of his store… “Okay, Timmy. You’re right!” Gnolls nodded in agreement. “We’ll… take the cookies without paying!” Gnolls couldn’t bring himself to say the word ‘steal.’ It seemed so wrong, but the cookies were too tempting!
The two young lads snuck toward the tempting cookies. Gnolls sniffed the air. “I think they’re chocolate chip!” Timmy shushed the loud gnoll. “Quiet, Gnolls! If he hears us, we might get caught!” Gnolls quieted and silently padded behind Timmy. “What if I get caught,” Gnolls thought silently to himself. “Will I go to jail? Will the baker bake me into a pie? Will I-“ Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted as they reached the plate of cookies! Gnolls bumped into Timmy’s back, as they eyed the delicious cookies. The smells were overwhelming!
Timmy motioned silence. “Okay. I’ll grab the plate, but be ready to run…” Gnolls nodded. The cookies smelled delicious from this distance! Timmy reached toward the plate, slowly…

At the time, Gnolls had no chance of knowing the dark truth of the cookies and the drastic turn they'd force his life down. The Baker was actually a cornugon lawyer in disguise, who's epic plot involved converting the masses through vile baked goods.
The cookies in question were infused with the very power of Admoleus (Asmodeus' cousin), and would turn any who devoured them into the perfect lawyer... but turn them irrevocably evil as a result.
Soon the gnoll's epic adventure would begin, all to correct a horrific mistake and a failing of FRIENDSHIP!
