'''Gimblebock''' is a [[gnome]] in ''[[Baldur's Gate 3]]''. He is one of the leaders of the bandits that are raiding the [[Overgrown Ruins]]. Highly aggressive and selfish, he is quick to start a fight under the assumption you're trying to steal whatever treasure is on the [[Nautiloid Wreck]] and in the ruins he is guarding.

== Involvement ==
=== Act One===
Gimblebock can be found at the [[Chapel Entrance]] with [[Quelenna]], [[Taman]], and [[Warryn]]. When the party approaches, he will automatically engage them in conversation and ask them to leave. 

The party can use one of several [[Ability Check]]s, including [[Persuasion]], [[Deception]], [[Intimidation]] as well as class-specific options from [[Monk]], [[Warlock]], [[Paladin]], and [[Fighter]] to make him and the others leave peacefully, or decide to attack them.

Resolving the situation peacefully will reward 50 [[Experience]], however fighting the bandits will be worth 70, plus the opportunity to take all their gear as well.

==Companion approval==
When approaching from outside:
*(Dark Urge) {{Ability Check|Strength|5}} "I don't want to hurt you, but provoke me, and I'll keep stabbing long after you're dead."
* {{Ability Check|Persuasion|10}} "That ship is full of monsters. I wouldn't go near it."
*{{Ability Check|Deception|12}} "I think that ship's an invasion force. Run while you can!"
*{{Ability Check|Intimidation|10}} "The only thing you own is your life. Leave before I take that, too."
** {{Approval|Gale|+1}} {{Approval|Shadowheart|+1}} {{Approval|Wyll|+1}} {{Approval|Karlach|-1}}
When exiting from the crypt itself:
*{{SAI|Detect Thoughts}} > "Leave, before I gut you like I gutted [[Mari]] and [[Barton]]."
*{{Ability Check|Deception|12}} "You have awoken me from my slumber - now I crave your blood!"
*{{Ability Check|Intimidation|10}} "It's mine now. Leave, before things get ugly."

==Notes==
{{notebegin}}
* As of [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/3669924544085723479 Patch 1], Gimblebock's race is simply "Gnome", without having a subrace specified (unlike his fellow bandit Warryn who is listed as a Rock Gnome). This may be a bug.
*Gimblebock has chosen an unfortunate place to stand and talk. If the player could get close enough without being seen they could snap the '''Coiled Rope''' holding the '''Foundation Block''' above him.
