GOLD AND STONE, BLOOD AND BONE, GIVE ME MORE! Here is where Runners deposit their payload. And The Great Maw smiles.

Upgrades

Carrying Capacity:How many shiny rocks can this mass of muscles carry?

Runners get +save-dependent value carrying capacity.

Dodgy Profession:One wrong step and you’re out.

Runners get +save-dependent value chance to dodge falling rocks and monsters.

Dodge is increased by +0.15% per luck and capped to a max of 69%.

Exalted Beard Aura:The facial mane exhumes a mystical aura.

Whenever a runner is hit by a falling rock, there’s a save-dependent value chance that his powerful beard aura deflects it away. Each deflection drains 1 charge out of save-dependent value and they slowly recharge over 40-60 seconds. The deflection chance is increased by +1% for each Runesmith.

Gemstone Frenzy:My mind bejeweled, my body drowning, in the glitter of the stars, taken deep from ancient scars!

Runners get +save-dependent value Speed for 7-10 seconds for each Gem they deliver. They must still rest first though.

Gorilla Arms:Steampunk exoskeleton merged with the dwarf’s torso. Metal will never be stronger than dwarven muscle, but it can certainly try.

Runners get: +save-dependent value Carrying Capacity.

Whenever picking up a rock, Runners have a +save-dependent value chance to flex hard and YEET their payload back towards the stash, like the chads they are. The odds are increased by +1.25% for each Cyberdwarf tier after the first, +0.1% for each Scientist and +0.015% per luck. 15% max. The odds are also reduced by -0.15% per rock the runner is carrying. YEET has a 5-15 second CD. Current chance: save-dependent value.

Lust For Gems:The sparkle of victory fuels their feet! PURE ADRENALINE!

Whenever a Runner picks up a gem, he gets so ecstatic he gets a stacking buff of +save-dependent value Speed for 3-5 seconds.

Magnetic Gloves:Little magnetic runes are etched into the fingertips of these gloves, allowing for easier and less slippery ore accumulation.

Runners get +save-dependent value ore gathering speed.

Mithril Chainmail:Thick layers of leather and mithril mesh clad the dwarf, hopefully providing some protection against monsters, stray explosives and falling rocks.

Runners get: -save-dependent value Stun duration! +save-dependent value Dodge against friendly-fire dynamite and windbomb explosions. -save-dependent value Speed. -save-dependent value Carry Capacity.

Pixie Cocaine:YEEEEEEEEEEHAW! Military-issue powdered pixies.

Runners get: +save-dependent value Gathering Speed. -save-dependent value Stun duration. +save-dependent value Speed. -save-dependent value Dodge. +save-dependent value chance on delivery per times since last crashout to crashout, which stuns the runner for a long time. Crashout has a 1.5% chance +0.2% per scientist and +0.05% per luck, of not being terrible and instead doubling Pixie Cocaine bonuses and drawbacks until next crashout!

Prospector’s Massive Nose:Sniiiiff! Aaaahh I love the smell of minerals in the morning!

Whenever a Runner picks up a non-gem ore, there’s a save-dependent value chance that he gets lucky and finds a random gem. Chance increased by 0.06% per luck.

Rhino Legs:Pistons and hydraulics march this dwarf.

Runners get: +save-dependent value Carrying Capacity.

Reduces speed penalty for each carried ore by -save-dependent value.

Runner:The most venerable and dangerous position.

It requires peak physique, agility and fanatical devotion.

To waltz amongst a rain of stars. To deliver them onto greatness!

STATS: Move Speed: save-dependent value Carry Capacity: save-dependent value Dodge: save-dependent value Luck: save-dependent value Resting Time: save-dependent value-save-dependent value Stun Duration Mult: save-dependent value Gathering Time: save-dependent value Gorilla YEET: save-dependent value

Sacrifice To The Great Maw:Oh great devourer of stone, take my blood and gold, so you may spare me from your falling children and help me stumble upon glittering stars!

Runners get: +save-dependent value Luck. +save-dependent value resting time.

Luck helps with dodge, gem sniffing, cocaine trips, gorilla yeeting, beard aura and more!

Stoutly March:Heeeave, ho! To death we go! But first we’ll have our riches!

Runners get +save-dependent value Speed.

Insatiable Guzzler:GOLD FOR THE GOLD GOD! GEMS FOR THE GEM THRONE!

The Great Maw now sucks in ore near his mouth, because he knows how sloppy the runners are at depositing their loads.

Tier 2 increases the force and radius of the suction.

Tier 3 makes the slurping so powerful, it pulls in even the ores laying on the ground.

Tier 4-6 drastically increases the radius and force.
