Dwarf bounty hunter (fake Absalom guard) is a dwarf who leads a small crew of human bruisers, the group posing as Absalom city guards to lend themselves false authority. The party first encountered them in [S27 03:15:25], where Sense Motive immediately exposed the deception. The dwarf described hunting a target he called "some many" and proposed a "finders keepers" arrangement on loot; he carried slave-chain manacles, marking him as likely a slaver or bounty hunter for hire. The group was judged comparable in strength to the party but declined to descend into the lower Gauntlight, showing clear limits to their nerve. The crew resurfaced in [S36 01:50:16] inside the Vaults themselves, this time confirmed to be hunting a female bounty. The party overheard them mid-argument, recognized them from the road, and quietly withdrew rather than intervene or confront. By [S47 02:51:34] a dwarf member of the band — described as discolored and odd-looking — was identified by the GM as a Drashkin, a subterranean lawful-evil type sometimes called "king of the dwarves." This dwarf lost a feat-of-strength contest to Cid and conceded with a handshake, suggesting the group had shifted from pure antagonists to uneasy rivals with a grudging code. As of [S48 00:44:27], the bounty hunters' fate took a grim turn: the crew — the same "fake guards" first met on the road — had been flesh-warped into hulked-out abominations. Hyper-aggressive and wielding war razors, they charged on sight and exploded in "cancer blood" on death, forcing AoE reflex saves from the party. The transformation was complete enough that one member crit-shot his own ally with a crossbow.
