Dwarvish Runemaster

So, you find yourself with some runes to decipher (don't laugh, it could happen). And say for argument these runes happen to be not very far off the ground (I said stop laughing). And say they're guarded by some nasty little thing that needs to be smashed (no really, stop laughing) what do you do? Well, you seek the services of a dwarvish runemaster, depicted here by Pate-keetongu, of course.

Dwarvish Dragonguard

I've never heard of the game Battle for Wesnoth, but it was the inspiration of this excellent dwarf character by Pate-keetongu so it might be worth checking out. That dragon he's holding is called a Dragonstaff, an elaborately decorated and powerful weapon. Even if it wasn't capable of dropping an enemy, I might be tempted to carry one just because they look so cool.
