It must have been one hell of a negative attitude if it can affect an average duergar.
"Toil, toil, toil, toil, toiiiiiil. Praise Droskar. Toil. Sigh. And there comes that chipper little Urgraz again, blowing soap bubbles and hopping barefoot over the Field of Broken Glass and Broken Slaves, as if toiling is not good enough for him. I have mined this mithral vein for a hundred and sixty years, and gotten nothing out of it. The way my father, and his father, and his father got nothing out of it. Sigh. But will young Urgraz listen to it. Nooooo. Young Urgraz wants to blow soapbubbles and surfacers and is always going on about that no-good Abyssal patron of his. What was it, mess-mess? He will come to a bad end, that one. Before us, that is, of course. There is no room for friviolity like that around here."

"And that's not the only tradition he flaunts. Is he going to sell uncle Xorabrack to Alebrick family? Nooooo. He says he's going to poison him instead. It's just an excuse for not toiling. He can't poison Xorabrack, because it just doesn't work. Yesterday Ghormak decided he had had enough of toiling Praise Droskar and wanted to drink himself to death. No luck of course. He drank himself to slavery. That'll teach him to stop praising Droskar. Then there was that drow nutrient therapist who said we are going to poison ourselves with the amount of salt in our diets. As if there was anything edible but salt and shrooms in here. And you are going to get pretty tired of shrooms without plenty of salt. You can't just poison us. But will young Urgraz listen? Nooooo. 'I'm going to surface and wreak havoc and kick enslaved animals and poison my relatives.' He just makes me sick."
"And stop blowing those soapbubbles. It's frivolous, not worthy of a proper Droskar-bowing duergar, and you cannot see them with darkvision since it is pitch black! Like always. Sigh.
Maybe there was a huge vat of poison and he drowned them in it?
