Good Dwarven Oath/Battle Cry
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).Joël of the FoS wrote:You see me extremely sorry of the news. I hate cancer.
Thanks, Joel. Likewise, if someone comes up with an equally fitting [drinking] cheer, I could use that in place of a battle cry.Joël of the FoS wrote:If I think of something cool for battle cry, I'll let you know.

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.

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.Nathan of the FoS wrote:I don't know how to get the vowel marks right--sorry!
