Good Dwarven Oath/Battle Cry

[Jason of the Fraternity]

A close friend of mine, who has been playing a dwarven fighter in my campaign for the last ~10 years, was recent diagnosed with bone cancer. While the prognosis is rather severe, things are looking fairly good that he'll pull through after several months of chemotherapy & radiation treatments. As a bit of an homage to him and his character, I wanted to find a first-rate Dwarven oath or battle cry to use in one of my upcoming sessions (something along the lines of "keep fighting" would be best).

If anybody happens to have a notable quote fitting the above criteria, I would greatly appreciate you sharing it with me. Please note that if you are quoting a book/movie, please cite the appropriate source as well.

Many thank to any and all of you who can help me with this!

You see me extremely sorry of the news. I hate cancer.

If I think of something cool for battle cry, I'll let you know.

Cancer is indeed a cruel mistress. It will be a great day when someone truly finds a cure for it (without having to poison oneself so terribly).

If I think of something cool for battle cry, I'll let you know.

Thanks, Joel. Likewise, if someone comes up with an equally fitting [drinking] cheer, I could use that in place of a battle cry.

My condolences and prayers that he be well in a few months' time.

One quote I found: He conquers who endures. ~Persius

Gotta look into this... Nothing at the moment. Sorry.

Best of luck to all involved.

"Moradin's Axe is thirsty! ...and the Undergod is lonely!"

"Come here, gemrock, and I'll cut you a jewel!"

"When you get to the hereafter, tell them I sent you. Maybe you'll get a group discount."

"Steel warps, walls breach, and stones crack. But flesh endures!"

LoL I vote that one!

Well, if you can work it into the game in a clever manner, there's always this old chestnut:

"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum."

(or, if you really want to be weird, there's the MST3K version: "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of ass.")

I'm everything your mother warned you about - I'm short, I'm hairy, and this'll hurt like hell.

Stand fast, friends, and don't budge an inch! I wouldn't want you taking any credit for MY kills...

The man that stands half as tall, hits twice as hard. And I'm going to hit you so very, very hard.

They say whatever happens, you can't fall off the floor. But if you keep messing with me, you just might fall through it.

My axe is cold. Your skull looks warm. Come here, you.

I'm going to come down on you like a ton of diagenetic clastic sediments and compacted particulate matter.

Baruk Khazak! Khazak ai-menu!

I don't know how to get the vowel marks right--sorry! For those who don't recognize it, this is the war-cry of Tolkien's dwarves: "Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"

I don't know how to get the vowel marks right--sorry!

Try writing the phrase in Word (complete with vowel-marks from the Insert/Symbol menu) and then cut-and-pasting it into your reply. That's what I've done for some of my EwtF posts.
