Gimblebock is a Gnome bandit leader that is raiding the Overgrown Ruins in Act One.
“....You're both twice as tall as me but have half the bloody backbone!„
Overview[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
Act One[edit | edit source]
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 Checks, including Persuasion, Deception, Intimidation as well as class-specific options from Monk, Warlock, Paladin, Barbarian, and Fighter to make him and the others leave peacefully, or decide to attack them.
Resolving the situation peacefully will reward 50 XP and an Inspiration for those with the Charlatan background (including Astarion). Fighting the bandits will grant 70 XP and the opportunity to take all their gear. Triggering the encounter from the balcony with Warryn will not lead to any approval increase no matter which option is chosen. It is necessary to start the encounter from the lower area near Gimblebock and Taman. It is possible to defeat the bandits after convincing them to leave, granting a total of 120 XP.
