Dwarves really get the short end of the stick. They're not "greedy" for digging too deep, it's literally what they were made to do. Their whole economy depends on mining. What do you want them to do, grow crops? With what farmland? The elves and halflings took it all. And elves never awaken ancient evils of the forest by growing trees too tall, and halflings never face the consequences of their greed in eating too much. Dwarves spend all day working so they can survive, and the stories call them evil. Elves spend all day lazing around in their vacation homes, and if you complain, somehow you're the bad guy.

Didn't the "too deep and too greed" phrase came from Galandriel? She was incredibly biased, don't believe any of her lies.

A nap is exactly what those hard working dwarves needed. Good for them.

One of the things I liked in the recent season of Mushoku Tensei. They're casting fire spells in a labyrinth and they warn the MC that they'll suffocate if they use too many.

Lanterns still burning

Less than a percent of CO kills you, you're thinking of carbon dioxide

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

AI doesn't know what lanterns are. Stop poking fun at their art process /s

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

CO is flammable

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They're just rip van winkled going to wake up in 20 years and make a political faux pas

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Why do you think they encased them in glass?

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago

the book im reading had a cavein and the main characters decided to dig deeper for fresh air.

[-] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 weeks ago

...did it work?

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

no, they were saved by the S-teir elemental that caused the cave-in in the first place. litRPGs doing their thing.

Hwfwm? I'm not caught up

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hwfwm

Nah, Artorian's Archives. I'm reading it on recommendation from my brother.

Well, CO is lighter than air. Not a bad idea if carbon monoxide is the immediate threat

[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 10 points 3 weeks ago

CO is 97% the weight of typical atmospheric mix, so yes it's lighter, but by such a small difference that it spreads and fills a space evenly over a short period of time rather then starting at the ceiling and filling in the space downward.

Basically, going down to escape won't work, you need to get away from the area of high concentration.
