[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 281551, member: 424"] Valid point - and in the current campaign, spot on. However, in that particular campaign, the dwarves were somewhat different. The DM (it was his campaign world) viewed the dwarves as acting somewhat like Klingons. That's right....Klingons. The dwarves in this campaign world were obsessed with honor, would fight at the drop of a hat, were renowned for their warrior skills and feared because of it, loved their drinking and singing, and had a very black and white view of life. They believed in deeds not words and were obsessed with acquiring honor and the spoils of war. If you were not for them, you were against them. The dwarven viewpoint of a down time to unwind was to engage in games of 'smashface' (where blows were traded sequentially by both 'players' and the blows could not be dodged or defended against as it was considered 'cheating' and cheating impinged upon one's honor) until one of the players was rendered unconcious. And the other 'games' were equally as brutal. You get the idea. The dwarves were feared warriors, even more so since they neither asked for or gave quarter and they had a very regimented and brutal lifestyle. So, in the context of that particular incident, look at it in this light. Would have a Kllingon left the elf alive given what had happened? Very unlikely. [/QUOTE]
