Olak

Despite his title of sentinel, he has the same stats of other goblin warrior, except for a higher AC because of his shield.

Sentinel Olak is a Goblin Warrior in the Goblin Camp in Act One. He is in charge the checkpoint leading to the camp from the Blighted Village, constantly arguing with his second in command Warrior Puce.

Involvement

Sentinel Olak will question any adventurers approaching his checkpoint and attack any of those he finds to be trespassing upon the Goblin Camp. He can be persuaded to let the party pass through several methods, including being a Drow (or appearing as one via Disguise Self), being vouched for by Sazza, using Illithid Persuasion, or convinced by using an Intimidation check.

• [TRUE SOUL] [ILLITHID] [WISDOM] Stand aside (DC 5)
• [FIGHTER] [INTIMIDATION] To offer my sword to your boss. You can be my first demonstration, if you like. (DC 10 )
• [INTIMIDATION] I'm a hired sword - employer's inside. Stand aside. Now. (DC 15)
• [MONK] [INTIMIDATION] I could best all of your sentinels with my bare hands. Let me pass. (DC 15 )
• [RANGER] [DRUID] [NATURE] Beautiful animal. Does she belong to the Nordiland worgata family? (DC 5)
• [NATURE] Glossy coat on that animal. Does she belong to the Nordiland worgata family? (DC 10)
• [DECEPTION] Your leader summoned me. (DC 15)
• [DETECT THOUGHTS] [WISDOM] Read the goblin's mind.
  • I'm a messenger - here to see Minthara.

Convincing him using a skill check other than the intimidation check, or failing any check will result in Olak asking you to smear Worg feces on your face to show your "war colours":

• Grimace and do what you have to do.  -1  -1  -1  -1  -1
• Smear the dung across your face. It's not your first time.  -1  -1  -1  -1  -1
• [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] That's nature's bounty. Helps the trees grow. Eat it, or else. (DC 15)
• [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] I said. EAT IT. (DC 15 )
• Follow the rules.  -1  -1  -1  -1  -1

Optionally, the party may fling them at the goblins, starting combat:

• Wink, gather the dung, and fling it at all four guards.  +1  +1  +1  +5
• [ATHLETICS] Scoop up the warm dung and fling it at Olak's face.  +1  +1  +1  +5

However, only the earlier Athletics check will blind Olak before combat.
