The Dwarf is a Dwarf like any other: he wears metal armor and a heavy axe hangs from his belt. Like many of your kind, his face is hidden by the mask that forms the visor of his helmet. You strike up a conversation with the stranger, who is delighted to meet a fellow countryman. He is wary and inquires about your business in this land. When you state that you have come to slay the dragon, the tension rises.
“Who sent you to kill this dragon?”
“Royal business.”
You emphasize this statement by showing your signet ring (if you still have it). All Dwarves on this side of the Chains of Boût owe allegiance to this royal family, and you therefore think you can easily convince your interlocutor. However, to your great surprise, this person bursts out laughing.

“Really? Well, I'm here on royal business too. Wait... That means you're... Okay. I think we'll have to settle this with arms… Between knights.”
You begin to understand who your opponent is and you salute him with due respect. Royal matters, indeed: but this was a matter between the royal couple and their servants.
