Shattered Destiny – Dwarves

by Matt Dunn

In revisiting the four featured races in Shattered Destiny— Orcs, Dwarves, Shin’hare, and Humans– yesterday, you were reminded of the sheer destructive force of the Mountain God. Today, we’ll go underground and see the Underworld’s version of destruction.

Shards of Fate introduced us to the robot-crafting, cavern-digging, explosion-loving Dwarves, and while they may have been a collection of mad tinkerers that believe in destruction for destruction’s sake, there was still a touch of whimsy to their style. It was hard to not be charmed by the sight of a bunch of adorable little worker bots scrambling about, assembling an Ingenuity Engine or some other wacky contraption.

In Shattered Destiny, however, the Dwarves have begun to turn more to the instruments of war. You’ll see War Bots in even greater numbers, as well as other robots built to support and augment a robotic army. You’ll see plans written up for bigger, meaner, more devastating automatons. Best of all, you’ll get to meet the twin barrels of the surly, no-nonsense Dwarf responsible for enlightening rookie marksmen in the finer points of handling their firearms.

Under Samson’s watchful eyes, the blazing firepower of your squad will have the opposition scrambling for cover. Everything from simple Bombsmiths and Turreted Walls to more devastating Elimination Specialists and Volcannons will benefit from Samson’s guidance, and it won’t take long for the increased damage to reduce your opponents to piles of ash. Don’t let his gruff disposition deter you; if you’re in the business of blasting people, Samson is the Dwarf you want to talk to.
