“Sure, root beer drinking humie, you can wed my daughter, if you bring me a jewel. It’s somewhere in Minas Corva, good luck, there are five lights, seeyoudeadbye…”
Sure they are. They’re just a wee bit racist. “If your fitlhy dwarve wants to pass through our woods, he must be blindfolded and our lord and lady will get to decide if he leaves the woods alive or not.”

(see meme)

Worf would do like a word about the Bat’leth and other assorted slicey things
