Kamikazee dwarves

If they are instruments of their various gods, why are they out to get the player?

To convert the player, they believe they must be killed in the name of their god. Because the player can know more then one god, they aren't a true believer. So... Conversion in the form of a bloody, violent explosion.

Yeah, it's always funny when a god that considers me his/her champion sends their dwarf to blow me up.

I guess you can look at the kamikaze dwarves as indoctrinated fanatics who barely represent their religion. I mean, they use their holy books to beat enemies on their heads if you take away their gunpowder

And the proof to the funniness of Attnamese gods is that a god finds you a perfectly acceptable candidate for championship if you slaughter his high priest - truly, Valpurus works in mysterious ways.

If the high priest is slaughtered then he obviously wasn't worthy of the post.

Simply speaking your character is the most hated being on earth... almost EVERYONE wants to kill you.
