If the PCs are still in an area with friendly NPCs, maybe they can overhear someone make an offhand remark about Duergar, "Greedy sons o' slag, they'd sell their own mudders for a copper."Animated objects: Tough one. Maybe have them move deferentially/apologetically in the vicinity of the dwarf PC as they're attacking his allies. I'm kinda picturing the emotes of Carpet from Aladdin's, corners turned inward sheepishly as if to say, "Pardon me, sir!" before flitting around the dwarf to smother a human. Might be a stretch given the Intelligence score, but it could be considered a 'programmed' behavior. I'm drawing a blank for pre-combat telegraphing.General advice: For me, a lot of telegraphing is just picking out some curious detail and describing it. Put yourself in the mindspace of the NPCs. I know this is rather vague, but I haven't seen The Big List of Methods for Telegraphing myself. Hopefully we can both learn something as other people contribute to the discussion. I will add that I prefer to err on the side of obvious. As the DM, I know all the conditions of the scenario, so what feels like blunt force knowledge to me might only feel like a subtle hint to them.</blockquote>
