Gutbuster Brigade

The Gutbuster Brigade is a famous battlerager squad lead by Thibbledorf Pwent. They are loyal to to Mithral Hall and its king Bruenor Battlehammer. They have their own brand of gung-ho tactics and often disregard the order and discipline for which the Mithral Hall army is known, in favour of a more direct approach.

History
The Gutbuster Brigade was formed in 1357 DR, when an army of Drow attacked Mithril Hall. Thibbledorf Pwent handselected a score of dwarves to train as battleragers&mdash;a chaotic form of fighting, which consists of putting on an armor full of spikes, and throwing oneself at the enemy, convulsing and shredding them. A highly efficient way of fighting in the narrow underground corridors, the young Gutbusters took the drow completely by surprise.
