'''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 ==
The party can attack the looters or use one of several [[Ability Check]]s to convince Gimblebock and the others to leave peacefully.
=== Act One===
 
Gimblebock can be found at the [[Chapel Entrance]] with [[Quelenna]], [[Taman]], and [[Warryn]]. When the player approaches, he will automatically engage them in conversation and ask them to leave.  
If meeting Gimblebock after exiting the crypt while using {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}}, it is revealed that he is wondering what happened to his crew inside the crypt - though he is more worried about whether the player character has the upper hand than him regarding his allies' lives.
 
Resolving the situation peacefully rewards 50 [[Experience|XP]] and [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|24px|link=]][[Inspiration|Cheese Your Way Through]] for [[charlatan]]s. Triggering the encounter from the balcony with Warryn does not lead to any approval increase no matter which option is chosen. To gain approval, it is necessary to start the encounter from the lower area near Gimblebock and Taman. Fighting the bandits grants 70 XP and the opportunity to take all their gear. The party can also defeat the bandits after convincing them to leave, granting a total of 120 XP.


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