... And suddenly, Kholgarsh lets out all his rage by punching the wall, throwing away his hand tool and yelling at George. “What kinda stupid question is that?!”
“Dude, chill… I’m just-”
“Nothing is fine, dumbass! My sons are dead! DEAD! All for trying to save that mongrel posing as the Champion! By my beard, I swear I'll make Magnus PAY for getting my boys killed! That moron should've not sent them to that blasted cave!" The other workers turn to look at Kholgarsh, finally noticing you and Daitza. They give you a harsh scowl, displeased by your presence...
Your pal appears clueless as she stares at the two arguing dwarves. “I wish I could understand them…” she whispers, “What are they fighting about?”
“That guy blames us and the General for the death of his sons” you explain, pointing at the scarred humielet. “They were sent to our rescue and got killed by Gunyx.”
“Oh… that’s not good to hear. What do we do? Should we try walking past him or find another way...?”
Before you can come to a decision, you hear George attempting to appease the grieving father. “Sorry for your loss, man. Just tryin’ to make conversation to keep yer mind busy...”
“How can you blind idiots trust a demented priest's ''predictions''?! It’s obvious the demons are using Adramus to infiltrate spies among us! Can you believe that those dogs now wander the halls freely after murdering my kids?! Don’t you see what a fucking JOKE that is?! They're spittin' on my sons' graves, LAUGHING behind my back after fooling you all!” The dwarf grows more furious as his tantrum goes on…
The other humielet scratches his head. “Y’know… I don’t think they're spies. Did I tell you that the male one healed my wounds at the hospital? As far as I know, demons can’t heal others due to their lack of compassion. Maybe he IS the chosen of Anu... just sayin’.”
“Then Anu is mocking us!” Kholgarsh's face turns red, and his voice thundering. “If he loved us, he wouldn’t make a gnoll the saviour! He would pick a dwarf, or even better, he would descend to Aurus and destroy all the demons by himself! But no, he LIKES seeing his people suffer… he REJOICES in the chaos and discord his dirty hound brings to us all!”
“Shhh… I would keep my voice down if I were ya.”
“There’s no salvation, George. Even if we win this war, we’re DOOMED. Soon, y’all will realize this life is a joke, a cruel prank by a god that sees us as nothing but toys for his amusement!”
“Shut your mouth, digger! You can be put into jail or worse for all those blasphemies!”
“The hell do I care?! Nothing matters anymore! Not when my boys are go-“
