Gekh Coal is a [[Duergar]] slaver in the [[Underdark]]. He leads a group of other [[Duergar]] slavers in the [[Decrepit Village]].

==Involvement==

Gekh is hiding via invisibility inside the [[Decrepit Village]] along with his fellow Duergar [[Lurgan]], [[Holvik]], and Novice [[Garmor]]. If the party approaches from the high ground, then one of his hidden companions will reveal themselves and tell Gekh that "someone is sneaking up on them". If the party approaches from the beach, then Gekh will immediately address them himself.

Gekh threatens to kill the party but will relent if they succeed a {{Ability Check|Persuasion|15}}, succeed a {{Ability Check|Intimidation|15}}, succeed a {{Ability Check|Religion|15}}, use a Duergar exclusive dialogue option, successfully read his mind, or display the [[Brand of the Absolute]]. [[Drow]] and the [[Dark Urge]] have a reduced difficulty DC 10 roll instead. 

Gekh then explains that his group is searching for [[Boots of Speed|a pair of boots]] belonging to their sergeant, [[Thrinn]]. These boots were stolen by a Deep Gnome, [[Thulla]], who was last seen near the [[Ebonlake Grotto]]. The party can either offer to help him recover the boots or refuse. If they refuse then Gekh and the other Duergar will become hostile and attack. If the party agrees to help and successfully takes the boots from Thulla (whether through stealing them or as a reward for healing her), then Gekh will congratulate them and allow them to use his raft to travel to the [[Adamantine Forge]].

If the player character is a [[Deep Gnome]] or the party is accompanied by [[Glut]], then Gekh and the other Duergar will immediately turn hostile.
