The party can attack the looters or use one of several Ability Checks to convince Gimblebock and the others to leave peacefully.
If meeting Gimblebock after exiting the crypt while using , it is revealed that he is wondering what happened to his crew inside the crypt - though he is more concerned with whether the player character has the upper hand than his allies' lives.

- Hells. Pity you aren't as good at graverobbing as you are at excuses.

Notes edit
- ↑ As of 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 chooses an unfortunate place to have idle banter with his fellow bandits. If party members get close enough without being seen, they can snap the coiled rope holding the foundation block above him.
