Another highly successful [[{{Gamebooks}} text adventure]] from Website/FourChan, by someone who goes by the name Gnome. Unlike [[Roleplay/RubyQuest the other notable text adventure]], Dorf Quest is mostly built upon the pillars of RuleOfCool and RuleOfFunny, making just about everything possible.

** Slightly subverted. Beardbeard no longer looks remotely like his fellow dorfs, but he still behaves like one.
*** Actually, if Musclebeard or the King are any indication, he ''doesn't''. Most Dorfs are... well... ''[[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarves]]'', albit highly [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]]. Beardbeard, on the other hand, is psychopathic, violent, bad at crafts, and maybe just a little bipolar. He is a [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] version of a [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] Dorf. Beardbeard is a Dorf as viewed through a cracked mirror.

* [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Our Dorfs Are All The Same]] - Taken to a violent and psychopathic extreme.
** Slightly subverted. Beardbeard no longer looks remotely like his fellow dorfs, but he still behaves like one.
*** Actually, if Musclebeard or the King are any indication, he ''doesn't''. Most Dorfs are... well... ''[[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarves]]'', albit highly [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]]. Beardbeard, on the other hand, is psychopathic, violent, bad at crafts, and maybe just a little bipolar. He is a [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] version of a [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] Dorf. Beardbeard is a Dorf as viewed through a cracked mirror.
* ParentalAbandonment - [[spoiler:Lily, but for a good reason.]]
* {{Pride}}
* PyrrhicVictory - The [[spoiler:battle with Garrelf.]]
* RageAgainstTheHeavens - Beardbeard [[MeaningfulName Godslayer]] didn't earn that last name for no reason. And his current plans involve usurping a different deity.
* RetCon - [[spoiler:The father of Cultist's child was changed due to fan outrage. Although Gnome hadn't exactly revealed the true father at that point, only strongly hinting it, it still counts.]]
** Kav's [[spoiler:death from being eaten alive.]]
* ShieldSurf
* {{Shipping}} - Mado/Nevada.
** [[spoiler:SureWhyNot]]
** Mace/Nana seems to be surprisingly popular as well, considering how little screen time they've had. Also Aldwin/Horror Finlay.
* ShipTease - Gnome gleefully supports all shipping with art.
* ShoutOut - Mostly for Linley's Dungeon Crawl and RubyQuest.
** And Pokemon. And YumeNikki. And TheLegendOfZelda. And MsPaintAdventures. And many many more.
* SubordinateExcuse - Mado to Nevada.
* TearJerker - [[spoiler:Garrelf's demise.]]
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics - Girls are pink! And gods are blue! In fact, the widespread acceptance of this trope allowed Kav to be noticed as a girl long before people knew anything about her.
* TookALevelInBadass - Garrelf.
** Driblis took TWELVE levels in Badass.
* TortureTechnician - Garrelf.
* UnsoundEffect - HORRENDOUS BEAST!
** I'm pretty sure that was just Don Quixote shouting, not a sound effect...
* VillainProtagonist
* WillfullyWeak - [[spoiler:Mado is holding back her true strength so that she could remain as Nevada's apprentice instead of being moved elsewhere.]]
** Also applies to Garrelf. He can 'power up' by taking off his bracers, but its a one-way ticket to eternal banishment.
* TheWoobie - Yami, despite being a very minor character. And Mado to some extent.
* [[BreakTheCutie Naga nurse]].
* WordOfGod - Gnome is significantly more open about his game than [[RubyQuest Weaver]], frequently commenting and revealing stuff.
