Description ; trained to keep order and defend mines and other underground work areas. They are tough, intimidating overseers who are fast to squelch fights, quick to give orders, and ready to wade into any danger to carry out the job that has been given them. These roughnecks keep mine workers productive and focused, whether those workers are members of the tribe or slaves in the tribe's thrall. Every mine rowdy is responsible to oversee and protect that portion of a mine placed in their care. Any failure can lead to banishment, hard labor, or even death. Player character mine rowdies have usually left their lairs in order to escape punishment due to some failure on their part. Perhaps a rowdy is the only survivor of a collapsed mine or a mine that was overrun by hostile forces. Maybe productivity dropped sharply and the rowdy was stripped of their position. Maybe the slaves and workers in their charge rebelled, and the rowdy had to flee in order to escape their wrath or the wrath of the tribe's leaders. Or maybe a rowdy, tired of being cruel and overbearing, showed compassion to those laboring for them or even set some slaves free. This simple action immediately made them a traitor and outcast among their own kind.
