"So, et comes ta this." Krueger growls threateningly.
"Ye gonna compare me people ta them, aye? Me people, fathered by tha founder god Oberon he'seff an' gifted two things, free will an' tha Law. Me people have warred more fer tha side o' good than any race in Enber, protectin' ye overlanders from bein' overrun time after time, e'en yer precious tree houses.* An' when a man o' god, holy warrior o' Tha Twins, used as judges o'er tha gods fer their abil'ty ta judge right frum wrong, who can see inta tha hearts o' being an' beast, says he can see tha drip e'en now plottin' its evil, yet ye protect et." Krueger stands and hefts his great axe, double-fisted before him.
"Me supposes that drip called out ta ye, begged ye fer fergiveness, telled ye its people be there innocent o' crime, that them hobs be forced 'em ta attack Tevel Row er would'a kilt 'em dead an' that he'seff had nae chance ta seek good 'til ye showed up... 'cuz if'n he did, me did nae heared et. Me see'd ye whisper ta that drip while holdin' down he's captain. Ye bade us stop, an' we did 'cuz we trusted ye, so'z them drips could gather 'round they captain ye made me release, so'z that powerful lieutenant could protect he's captain an' send a runner ta get more help... and ye accuse ME!"
Jaeden jumps up between Krueger and Ala (and Skatha, sitting beside Ala) as the dwarf howls in rage.
"Krueger NO!"

A bit of history. I had stated in character creation that, quote, "Most dwarves will be Lawful Good, in accordance with The Law." What Krueger describes about his race going to war for the side of good more than any other race is true. While the dwarves once tried to conquer Enber under a foul Dwarven ruler, (named Kalabar in case you decide to use that tidbit of info), they have always come from their underground home to fight against what ever race has threatened Enber, orcs, goblins and their like, even the overland races when they tried, humans most often, elves a few times, gnomes twice (But never halflings... the only race that hasn't tried... usually agreed upon that the only reason they didn't try is because they are lazy)
The only time the dwarves did not send an army to protect Enber was the attacks of Rox'Voroth. The reason for that... The previous attempt to conquer Enber was made by humans. That was the only time Hammerforge (the dwarven capital) had ever been breeched by invaders and the humans conquered the dwarves. Then, set above them Halflings to act as their overlords. To a dwarf, there is no bigger insult. Dwarves do not like halflings (as you may have seen with Brador in the bar in the first post and Krueger's yelling at Gemble) because they see halflings as lazy. All the other races produce something, gnomes mine, humans farm and build cities and elves, who are too much like halflings for a dwarf, still produces weapons and armor that would make a dwarf stand in awe. So... to say the dwarves were still bitter against the humans is an understatement.
Still, though no official army marched, hundreds of dwarven heroes came of their own concious.
Another tidbit that could be used against Krueger (and is known among you) is that Krueger was thrown out of Hammerforge (the reason he was in Tev'El Rhoe) years ago for not following The Law properly. (hense, you should know he is not Lawful) However, his acts could not be described as evil in any way... more like "inconsiderate" but not evil. Krueger is Neutral Good.
*Tree Houses - Elves live in trees and build elaborate cities in them. Most of the time, one cannot see these cities from the ground.
