Last Job

Cronk o' Dar's last job as a mercenary working for The Gutter Snakes which drove him to warn and confront Dart about Driver's true motives.

A hypocrite, through and through

The mission itself, like all other missions provided by Driver, gave out no extra information about the targets to the mercs assigned to it. As long as the mercs accept this as a normal practice, this allows for Driver to force them to do practically any job without any moral objections which would get in the way of earning as much money as possible.
This time, while on the mission, Cronk o' Dar tried to converse with the target first instead of following through with the mission without question. Being completely stricken with surprise seeing another warforged come into her home fully armed, the target quickly attempts to take down Cronk before he can shoot her, and this scares Cronk so he reflexively kills her before she could get close. Cronk never would have attempted to speak to a target like that before, but needing to assassinate another warforged was something that was near unheard of. It was an unfamiliar-looking warforged named @pipes, who was actually a former resident and "Gutter Rat" of Two Fang. Judging by his surroundings and her personal documents, Cronk finds out that Pipes was a freedom fighter type as well, who had left Two Fang in pursuit of a way to undermine The Gutter Snakes and free her fellow Gutter Rats of their nigh inescapable situation. Having already been suspicious of The Gutter Snakes by this point, Cronk thoroughly reads through her notes for her insight as someone who has lived through the worst parts of being in Two Fang.
Stunned with this revelation, Cronk takes a moment to try to understand what he had just done. With the assassination of a former comrade and fellow warforged weighing heavily on his mind, he gathers his thoughts and rushes back to Dart. With the spirit of rebellion and hatred of Driver incited within him, Cronk pleads for Dart to come to his senses and understand what Driver is really doing to Two Fang's people. Dart does not see eye-to-eye with Cronk and refuses to comply with him.
