- Broken rocks, brains, and bodies.
The ogres that roam the desolate caverns beneath Gamorg are very different than their surface-dwelling counterparts. Not so much in their physique but more so in their mannerisms and state of mind, or lack thereof.
While their brethren enjoy the “fresh” air of the rotting city and spend their days in raiding parties and downing grog, these subterranean ogres are forced to live a life of hard labor breaking apart rock and stone in labyrinths of their own chaotic design as they constantly inhale the mind-altering fog the lingers in the hollowed halls.
Their knuckles, knees, feet and skulls are often battered to bits with fresh lacerations and massive lumps. If you wander their mines long enough, you may notice that despite carrying a massive pickaxe, the miners often leave the tool at their side outside of combat, which brings about an epiphany that explains their tortured physical state as you realize the pathways are made almost exclusively through sheer force and brutality.
For most outsiders, encountering an ogre often leads to conflict, but many of the miners seem passive in their nature. However, it is unlikely that this neutrality comes from their own goodwill and is instead a byproduct of the psychological deterioration experienced from prolonged exposure to the harsh conditions of their environment. As a result, they demonstrate little personality, even for ogres, and can often be seen doing the “thrall shuffle” as they wander about with little direction.
This unfortunately makes them a prime target for adventurers looking to take advantage of their vulnerabilities and profit from their hard work by assaulting the beaten workers, looting their Ghroundium hauls, and selling them off to the less than ethical Ka’Bonk who conveniently set up shop just outside the bank that resides at the far end of the mines.
