Passing a successful Deception check grants an inspiration point (Grave Prospector) to characters with the [[Charlatan]] background, after which Bugthimble will leave and bar the player from gaining [[Kurwin's Cauteriser]].
When the party digs up the Dirt Mound, Bugthimble will pop out, telling the party to get their hands off his 'crate' which he found first. The party can respond a number of different ways. [[Gnome]] and [[Dragonborn]] characters get special dialogue.


Initially, there are four dialog options: two responses without rolls, an intimidation option using [[Nine-Fingers Keene|Nine-Fingers]] as a threat (DC 18), and a deception option (DC 25). Successful deception makes Bugthimble leave (disappear). Successfully using the Nine-Fingers intimidation leads to the option to leave dialog or Intimidate again (DC 25) to get a reward. The second successful intimidation makes Bugthimble attack the speaker once and disappear, dropping Kurwin's Cauterizer.

Using either of the first two dialog options opens up an alternate intimidation (DC 25). If the character is a [[Draconic Bloodline|draconic bloodline]] [[sorcerer]], an additional intimidation option opens up and is an automatic success if you take it. Success on either one makes Bugthimble leave without dropping anything. When playing as a [[The Dark Urge|Dark Urge]], there is an additional dialogue option in which the character stuffs Bugthimble into the grave and buries him alive.

Failing any initial intimidation or deception leads to combat. Bugthimble fights and six kobold holes open up - they spawn kobolds unless you block them by standing on them.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

When the party digs up the Dirt Mound, Bugthimble will pop out, telling the party to get their hands off his 'crate' which he found first. The party can respond a number of different ways. Gnome and Dragonborn characters get special dialogue.

  • [DECEPTION] What are you doing in my father's grave?! (DC 25) [note 1]
  • [DARK URGE] Wonder if you've ever buried someone alive. [note 2]
  • [DARK URGE] Resist the temptation to put her underground. Try to leave.
  • Fine, I'll go elsewhere.
  • Thank goodness. You can keep it.
    • [DECEPTION] Oh, just... y'know, the curse. (DC 15) [note 1]
    • [INTIMIDATION] This 'crate' was promised to Nine-Fingers. You don't want to steal from her, do you? (DC 18) [note 1]
    • I've got enough gold, thanks. [note 3]
    • I'll just take what I want from your corpse. [note 3]
  • [INTIMIDATION] Hand it over or I'll bury you in that hole, kobold. (DC 25)
  • [DRAGONBORN] You'd take this from a dragon kin? Despite our shared blood?
  • [DRACONIC BLOODLINE] The magic of dragons flows in my veins, kobold. Do not test me.
  • Attack. [note 3]

Trying to leave will cause Bugthimble to stop you and tell you to pay an extortion fee:

  • All right. Fine.
  • I don't have that much money! [note 3]
  • Hells no! You think I'm scared of a kobold? [note 3]
  • [DRAGONBORN] You'd ask this of me? We're practically kin.
  • Attack. [note 3]

  2. ↑ Buries Bugthimble alive.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 Bugthimble attacks the party

If Bugthimble is killed in combat, Kurwin's Cauteriser can be looted from his corpse. Making Bugthimble flee or burying him alive will prevent the party from obtaining Kurwin's Cauteriser.
