Apparently, Up Top there is a saying ‘nice guys finish last’. Down here, they don’t. If we have anything to do with it, they don’t finish at all. Niceness is not something we want to encourage, especially among the minions.
Up Top they also say that we down here are evil. Personally, I don’t really care what they call us, or me, just as long as they show us some respect, some fear, but I find evil is an awfully subjective word. After all, we are just minding our own business, protecting what is ours. I mean, we have spent millennia getting all this stuff, all this treasure, often as legitimate fees for services rendered, and storing it away down here.
I would say that if anyone is evil it is those smug self-congratulatory bastards who saunter on down here and try to take it from us… those… nice guys… those heroes.
We do our best, though, to make them realise just how unwelcome they are when they attempt to enter our domain. Then, when they have worn out their welcome… and our patience, we leave their bones there, where they fell, as a warning to those that follow that we do not like having our peace disturbed by bands of adventurers seeking fame, glory and treasure down here in this labyrinth we like to call our home.
