'''Gerringothe Thorm''' is a unique intelligent Undead, the toll-master of the [[Reithwin Tollhouse]]. Seemingly made of gold, she is driven by endless greed and is relentless in enforcing the toll to cross the river to [[Moonrise Towers]]. Her greed isn't limited to just her mannerisms as she also wields powerful abilities that are influenced by the amount of [[Gold]] a character is carrying and the power of her Visages increasing [[Hit Points]] as well.

==Behaviour==

When approached '''Gerringothe''' will quickly demand gold from you. Besides simply attacking her, you can toss her some gold though she will simply demand for more. When asked for a clear price, she will simply demand all your gold. However, if you give her anything short of 5000 gold, she will claim you gave too little and attack. If paid, you will receive the [[Signed Trade Visa]] which casts the unique and powerful spell [[Flesh to Gold]], along with the experience you would gain if you defeated her and her minions. However, considering it is a one use item, it is hardly a fair tradeoff.

{{SpoilerBox|custom=the dialogue options for this character.|

Instead of paying her, you can instead do a variety of social [[Skill Check|Skill Checks]] to get past her:

*A [[Persuasion]] with a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 18 will question why she remains when she can take what gold she has and be free. She will be steadfast on her role to collect the gold in the service of the toll.

**Another [[Persuasion]] with a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 21, questioning how she has no one to oversee her duties.

**A [[Deception]] with a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 21, claiming that the local authority has decreed all the gold belongs to her now.

**An [[Intimidation]] at a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 21, bluntly telling her she no longer has a job.

*A [[Deception]] with a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 18, claiming you are the new toll master to replace her.

**Another [[Deception]] at a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 21, claiming she's been promoted and moving to a better tollhouse.

**A [[Persuasion]] at a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 21, praising her work and insisting you'll take over.

**An [[Intimidation]] at a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 21, threatening her and demanding she leave.

Whichever approach you take, succeeding will lead to her having a moment of clarity before stating she will "pay it back," before seemingly killing herself. The party will be fully rewarded experience as if they defeated her and all her visage minions. You will also get the full amount of gold magically bound to her. }}

Despite her large appearance, '''Gerringothe''' is a very fast moving thanks to her use of [[Rogue|Fast Hands]] which allows her to use [[Dash]] as a bonus action. She will use her mobility to get around, even climbing up to the ruined roof to put distance from the party and a vantage point for her Jealous Avarice spell. Also, her large amount of [[Hit Points]] makes it difficult to beat her down quickly, even more so with the support her Visages give in attacking or hindering the party. As the fight goes on though, she will begin using Combustible Coins force your party to be on a constant move. She can also turn larger piles of gold into Coin Halberds throughout the battle.

Like most battles, preparation is key. The first step is to either away your gold at camp or a secure spot nearby, since her Jealous Avarice will deal insane amounts of damage and possibly wipe out a grouped up party, if you happen to be carrying a few thousand gold on you. Instead of focusing on the toll master, it is better to target the Grim Visages spread throughout the building. For each one killed, she will lose 100 of her [[Hit Points]] and lose more of her powerful abilities. A good tactics before the battle is to pick up the piles of [[Gold]] spread around the build, which will limit some of her abilities. Using a high level {{SmallIcon|Turn Undead Icon.png}} [[Turn Undead]] when the Visages are grouped up will likely destroy a few considering their low HP. If all of the visages are destroyed it will fully reveal the pitiful true from of '''Gerringothe''' who can be easily finished off.
