But let them all die by a naturally occuring cave-in. He has to hack at stones for all eternity.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Now, whenever someone takes the moral high ground for some race, saying that they were better than everything else (about 80-85% of these cases were about dwarves, the rest was shared between Gold/Grey Elves), I get the urge to show them the nasty side of that race (them dealing with the lowest scum, backstabbing each other, being anything but honourable/courageous, and so on). Sometimes I gave in to that urge. I don't know whether that applies here (you were saying that he thinks dwarves are the most honourable of races), but I'd see whether he gets on the other players' nerves with that attitude and act accordingly.It could also be a plot hook: He encounters that not all dwarves are honourable. In fact, some of the most important/ influential ones are real bastards. He then is contacted by the Dwarven Rebellion, who want to restore a worthy ruler to their throne, but they have difficulties because obedience is hard-wired into the dwarven ideology.There's also things like finding the tomb of an ancient dwarven hero, finding some dwarven relic (usually axe-shaped), investigating the surcease of communication from another clan. Think Moria (Lord of the Rings), with hordes of orcs and some terrors from the deep, although they could also just be gone - the whole clanhold empty of life, without signs of struggle, looking like they all just went away all of a sudden - doors left unlocked, half-eaten meals, untended fires and forges and all that. Now what would make them just get up and go like that. Did it have a reason? Or were they disappeared by some sinister force? When the same happens to a sizable forest city of the Elves, and then a human town or even city, things get real spooky!</blockquote>
