I've been given clearance to add more styles for dwarves using the GRUNT verb. If you have suggestions this would be the time and place to make them! I can't promise that any or all suggestions will be used but I can promise that they will at least be seen. I don't have a deadline but definitely hoping to release these before the end of the year. So git yer gruntin caps on!

DISAPPOINTED - Gnurr grunts and frowns in disappointment.
LOUD - Gnurr lets out a loud grunt!
QUIET - Gnurr grunts quietly.
VAGUE - Gnurr grunts, waving his hands vaguely.

GRUNT WITH (NOUN)
>grunt with disappointment
Gnurr grunts in disappointment.
>grunt with interest
Gnurr grunts in interest.
GRUNT TONE (ADVERB)
>grunt tone vaguely
Gnurr grunts vaguely.
>grunt tone incoherently
Gnurr grunts incoherently.

-->Grunt frustration
You grunt in frustration after logging into the forums, but having your password refused for the game because 'CAPS LOCK' was on.
(I'm not sure who gets messages in billing, but you can ignore that 'I might need a password reset' message I just left.)
-->grunt embarrassed
You grunt embarrassedly as you cheeks flush and your beard shifts, realizing the whole world now knows you panicked before checking for the obvious.
So - maybe - the descriptions can be shortened.
You grunt, amused - wondering if anyone noted the built in dwarf joke.

There may be one or three easter eggs to be discovered.
