Involvement

Act Three

Jerbold is watching over several employees of the Baldur's Mouth, accompanied by  Fist Glenvora and a  Steel Watcher. They can be found near the entrance to the building at X: -12 Y: -51, guarding  Trina,  Zita,  Falael,  Bronte,  Delcan and  Jarlath, who are counting, packing and loading freshly printed issues of Baldur's Mouth Gazette.

Jerbold occasionally chats with Trina, who is working closest to his post. If the player character speaks to him, Jerbold orders them to be on their way, preemptively denying charges in the Fist censoring the newspaper.

After the Steel Watch Foundry is destroyed, Jerbold is found trying to placate  Korrinna Koreena and  Flo Hurlburl, who are worried about their safety now that the Steel Watch is fallen.

Idle banter

• Korrinna Koreena

  What aren't you telling us?

  • Flo Hurlburl

    Aren't you supposed to be on our side?

    • Fist Jerbold

      Rest assured, citizens, Lord Gortash has the city's best interests at heart.

• Korrinna Koreena

  If you really wanted to keep us safe, you'd tell us what happened to the Watchers!

  • Flo Hurlburl

    We deserve to know the truth!

    • Fist Jerbold

      Your safety is of utmost importance to Lord Gortash. A full investigation is underway.

• Korrinna Koreena

  That's not an answer!

  • Flo Hurlburl

    You're just trying to placate us!

    • Fist Jerbold

      You'll have all the answers you need once official investigations are concluded.

Jerbold can also be seen talking to  Trina:

• Fist Jerbold

  Standard procedure. Gortash just wants to make sure that there's no misinformation.

  • Trina

    The truth is the truth - we trust our readers to make up their own minds.

• Fist Jerbold

  People don't always know their own minds. We've got to keep them safe, that's all.

  • Trina

    You'll not find any fearmongering here. We're an honest publication.

• Fist Jerbold

  I've no qualms about the quality of the content - I've always enjoyed reading it, myself.

  • Trina

    Don't tell our writers that. Their egos are big enough as it is.
