Dungeon Runners are essentially dungeon druids. They are those that are more comfortable drinking with oozes than farmers. They would rather face a flaming pit trap than sit in a tavern and listen to local gossip. Anytime that they step into town, they are immediately marked as outcasts that are treated suspiciously. They spend their Life on a quest to get into the next dungeon. Their biggest fear is running out of adventures. Anyone that travels with them are defended as if they were family, because they are the closest thing to family a Dungeon Runner has. A Dungeon Runner forms quick bonds with those that share their adventures and holds those bonds dear for life. One thing that traveling the ruins have brought them to understand is that memories are the only thing that last forever.
