{{Q|I REQUIRE GOLD|Gerringothe about everything}}
'''Gerringothe Thorm''' is a unique intelligent Undead, the toll-master of the [[Reithwin Tollhouse]]. Seemingly made of gold, she is driven by endless greed and is relentless in enforcing the toll to cross the river to [[Moonrise Towers]].  
'''Gerringothe Thorm''' is a unique intelligent Undead, the toll-master of the [[Reithwin Tollhouse]]. Seemingly made of gold, she is driven by endless greed and is relentless in enforcing the toll to cross the river to [[Moonrise Towers]].  


Gerringothe's greed isn't limited to just her mannerisms, as she also wields powerful abilities that are influenced by the amount of [[gold]] a character is carrying. As well, her Visages grant her coin armour, which increases her total [[hit points]].

{{DiQ|I REQUIRE GOLD|Gerringothe Thorm| about everything}}
==Interactions==
 
When approached, Gerringothe will quickly demand gold from the party. Besides attacking her, the party can toss her some gold, though she will simply demand more. When asked for a clear price, she will demand all of the party's gold. However, if given anything short of 5000 gold, Gerringothe will claim she was given too little and attack.

When approached, Gerringothe will quickly demand gold from the party. Besides attacking her, the party can toss her some gold, though she will simply demand more. When asked for a clear price, she will demand all of the party's gold. However, if given anything short of 5.000 gold, Gerringothe will claim she was given too little and attack.  


If Gerringothe Thorm is paid 5,000 gold or more, the party will receive the {{MdRarityItem|Signed Trade Visa}} which casts the unique and powerful one-use spell: {{SAI|Flesh to Gold}}.
If paid, the party will receive the [[Signed Trade Visa]] which casts the unique and powerful spell [[Flesh to Gold]], however, it is a one use item.

If chosing "I have no more gold" or "I have no more money to give", she will start combat. Otherwise, the party can do a variety of social [[Skill Check|Skill Checks]] to avoid it:
Instead of paying her, the party can instead do a variety of social [[Skill Check|Skill Checks]] to get past her:
* One way to open the [[Skill Check]] options is to first "Toss the creature a gold piece", then choosing "I don't hand out so much gold for so little in return":
* A {{Ability Check|Persuasion|18}} will question why she remains when she can take what gold she has and be free. She will be steadfast on her role to collect the gold in the service of the toll.
** A {{Ability Check|Persuasion|18}} will question why she remains when she can take what gold she has and be free. She will be steadfast on her role to collect the gold in the service of the toll.
**Another {{Ability Check|Persuasion|21}}, questioning how she has no one to oversee her duties.
***Another {{Ability Check|Persuasion|21}}, questioning how she has no one to oversee her duties.
**A {{Ability Check|Deception|21}}, claiming that the local authority has decreed all the gold belongs to her now.
***A {{Ability Check|Deception|21}}, claiming that the local authority has decreed all the gold belongs to her now.
**An {{Ability Check|Intimidation|21}}, bluntly telling her she no longer has a job.
***An {{Ability Check|Intimidation|21}}, bluntly telling her she no longer has a job.
*A {{Ability Check|Deception|18}}, claiming to be the new toll master to replace her.
* After giving her a coin, if chosing "I've already paid", there will be:
**Another {{Ability Check|Deception|21}}, claiming she's been promoted and moving to a better tollhouse.
**A {{Ability Check|Deception|18}}, claiming to be the new toll master to replace her.
**A {{Ability Check|Persuasion|21}}, praising her work and insisting to take over.
***Another {{Ability Check|Deception|21}}, claiming she's been promoted and moving to a better tollhouse.
**An {{Ability Check|Intimidation|21}}, threatening her and demanding she leave.
***A {{Ability Check|Persuasion|21}}, praising her work and insisting to take over.
Note that it is necessary to pay her at least one gold piece before these options become available. If the party do not have any gold at all, all available conversation options will eventually lead to a fight.
***An {{Ability Check|Intimidation|21}}, threatening her and demanding she leave.


If the party does not have any gold at all (because it was stashed away), all available conversation options will eventually lead to a fight.
Whichever approach is taken, succeeding will lead to her having a moment of clarity before stating she will "pay it back". Then she seemingly kills herself. The party will be fully rewarded experience as if they defeated her and all her visage minions and also get the full amount of gold magically bound to her.

Despite her large appearance, '''Gerringothe''' is very fast-moving thanks to her use of [[Rogue|Fast Hands]] which allows her to use [[Dash]] as a bonus action. She will use her mobility to get around, even climbing up to the ruined roof to put distance from the party and a vantage point for her Jealous Avarice spell. Also, her large amount of [[Hit Points]] makes it difficult to beat her down quickly, even more so with the support her Visages give in attacking or hindering the party. As the fight goes on though, she will begin using Combustible Coins to force the party to be on a constant move. She can also turn larger piles of gold into Coin Halberds throughout the battle.


===Allies===
Like most battles, preparation is key. The first step is to either put away the party's gold at camp or a secure spot nearby, since her Jealous Avarice will otherwise deal insane amounts of damage and possibly wipe out the party, if carrying a few thousand gold.
* [[Visage of Cowardice]]
* [[Visage of Greed]]
* [[Visage of Guilt]]
* [[Visage of Heartlessness]]
* [[Visage of Obedience]]
* [[Visage of Regret]]


===Encounter details===
Instead of focusing on the toll master, it is better to target the Grim Visages spread throughout the building. For each one killed, she will lose 100 of her [[Hit Points]] and lose more of her powerful abilities. The piece of coin armour destroyed follows a fixed sequence each time, irrespective of which visage is killed:
* Gerringothe is surrounded by 6 [[Grim Visage]]s scattered throughout the building. For each one killed, she will lose 100 of her [[Hit Points]] and some of her powerful abilities. The piece of coin armour destroyed follows a fixed sequence each time, irrespective of which Visage is killed:


# {{Cond|Coin Vambrace (L)}}, disabling [[Left Coin Whip]]
# {{Cond|Coin Vambrace (L)}}, disabling [[Left Coin Whip]]
Line 111: Line 145:
# {{Cond|Coin Helmet}}
# {{Cond|Coin Helmet}}


* Visages have the passive condition {{Cond|Shadow Visage}} which prevents them from being damaged until the party begins combat. Once the battle has begun, they will teleport up to the 2nd floor and surround the area where Gerringothe patrols.
Picking up the piles of [[Gold]] spread around the building before battle will limit the effective area of [[Combustible Coins]] and deny her opportunities to create summons. Using a high level {{SmallIcon|Turn Undead Icon.png}} [[Turn Undead]] when the Visages are grouped up will likely destroy a few considering their low HP. Once all of the visages are destroyed, the pitiful true form of Gerringothe can be easily finished off.
* Visages have an unlisted immunity to falling damage.
* Her large amount of [[Hit Points]] makes it difficult to defeat her quickly without also targeting the Visages.
* Gerringothe's {{SAI|Jealous Avarice}} spell deals more damage based on how much gold the target is carrying.
* As the fight continues, Gerringothe will begin using {{SAI|Combustible Coins}} to force the party to be on a constant move. She can also turn larger piles of gold into Coin Halberds throughout the battle.


===Tactics===
Alternatively, the party can instantly kill her by sneaking onto the roof and using [[Telekinesis]] to move her out of the next window. This is a fast and easy way to unlock the "Penny Pincher" achievement.
* Instead of focusing on Gerringothe, it is better to target the Grim Visages spread throughout the building. They are all vulnerable to {{DamageType|Psychic}} damage, making certain weapons and Illithid powers particularly effective at dealing with them. Bard's {{SAI|Dissonant Whispers}} can notably one shot them, especially when upcast.
* The Visages are also vulnerable to effects that target the Undead. A 5th level Cleric with {{SAI|Destroy Undead}} can potentially destroy or turn multiple Visages at once if they are grouped up together.
* It is important to kill two Grim Visages as soon as possible to remove Gerringothe's ability to use [[Left Coin Whip]] and [[Right Coin Whip]], since these attacks deal substantial damage.
* Storing the party's gold at camp will minimize the threat of her {{SAI|Jealous Avarice}} which can otherwise easily one-shot party members if they are carrying a few thousand gold.
* Picking up the piles of [[Gold]] spread around the building before battle will limit the effective use of {{SAI|Combustible Coins}} and deny Gerringothe opportunities to create halberds.
* {{SAI|Combustible Coins}} that are about to detonate can be easily countered by picking up the coins since they won't explode in the party's inventory.
* Alternatively, the party can instantly kill her (or at least leave her on the verge of death) by sneaking up behind her and using {{SAI|Shove}} or {{SAI|Telekinesis}} to hurl her out of a nearby window. Depending on how much damage she took, it may still be necessary to kill 1 Grim Visage. This is a fast and easy way to unlock the '''"Penny Pincher"''' achievement.


== Known Bugs ==
== Notable loot ==
* If the party kills 2 or more [[Grim Visage]]s at the simultaneously, Gerringothe will sometimes only lose 100 hp instead of the proper amount.


== Notable loot ==
* {{MdRarityItem|Twist of Fortune}}
* {{MdRarityItem|Twist of Fortune}}
* 600 [[Gold]] dropped near her, if defeated through skill checks. Otherwise a stack of 100 will drop each time a layer of her armour is removed, up to six times.
