How inconvenient
(...) they are given orders by their masters (in this case evil dwarves, which suggests to me there may be some nastiness in instructions)
So maybe if a Gray Sqaarg is damaged to a third of its hit points or less that flips a "last resort" flag and it starts breaking spines and pulverizing skulls instead of gently putting its opponents to sleep with nonlethal wrestling moves?
The problem with the evil dwarf makers and the sqaarg gently putting people to sleep (lol again) has always bothered me, too, and I've always been tempted to just ignore its gentle approach and just let it have at it.
However, I must say that Cleon's quote has sort of finally solved it for me and so, henceforth, my sqaargs will continue to gently dissuade people from entering their masters' domains until the proverbial hits the fan for them.
Well, and I quote: The sqaarg were intended as a purely defensive device for the dwarves’ cave complex, and as such will not initiate a battle unless somebody tries to go past them (they will of course fight back if attacked.).
Therefore, the evilness of its makers will have to be made evident by the fact that the sqaarg will force people to use the 1E non-lethal combat rules - which nobody alive today has ever understood - and that it is called a sqaarg.
