Feels like a pitch from corporate.
“Clearly dwarves are the most cost effective solution.”
“How will the dwarves feel about eating spoiled food and being separated from everything their culture cherishes?”
“Excellent question and the answer is simple: Rum and spiced Whiskey.”
I’m deeply disappointed you didn’t take the chance to go with “Ditch the caves, hit the waves!”
You’ve got a bright future in dwarven politicking/travel agency. 🤌🏼
Ditch the earth, hit the surf!
Get out of the tunnel and swab the gunnel!
Get off that rock, we’re about to undock!
No time to mine, we’re sailing the brine
Off the turf, in the surf!
I am a dwarf and I’m sailing a ship
Saily saily ship
Saily saily ship

One of my favorite campaigns I was a tempest cleric dwarf in a sea campaign. She came from a clan of dwarves that would take longboats along river coasts downstream from a mother clan’s mountain mining to find pockets of washed down minerals. It was so fun and eventually she started her own seafaring clan the Sundersalt. We were based on an island but controlled a lot of trade in the area with ships modeled after Korean turtle ships
“The Boat Ramp of Durin, Lord of Mooria. Speak, matey, and enter. I, Narvi, made it.”
Can dwarves survive such prolonged periods so far removed from rock, stone, and dirt?
Similar to vampires, every dwarven ship has an enormous boulder occupying a conspicuous place in the quarters. Sleeping near this “home stone” is necessary to prevent dwarves from going sea crazy.
Ah like in Warcraft 2 you can have submarines with dwarves
Craftsmanship is also highly valued on a boat…
Marcus Miles has entered the chat.
That dude’s a beast.
If I wanted that I’d just play Divinity 2.
Having lived on a boat for years, I can tell you right now, you show me a body building midget, and I’ll show you an amazing marine mechanic.
Ran a Pirate campaign once. Had a pirate faction of Dwarfs called the Reefbeards.
They lived up, under and along the water for so long, they had colorful corals growing in their beards.
They also had a lot of cool technology, so they shot grapplehooks to swing over and ran around with entire cannons on their back.
The copper dwarves are excellent sailors.
They aren’t very buoyant though, are they? What happens when one falls overboard?
You go back and mine another one.
