Dwarf Veteran

Deep galleries change hands on a cycle measured in generations, and the ones who last a full turn of it are worth more than the quick ones. A veteran fights in the narrow with his back to worked stone, in a line with people he apprenticed beside. He calls a collapse four seconds before it comes.
