He's eager to take a break from the crypt, after making little headway over the course of several days, to investigate and loot the Nautiloid Wreck. When the player arrives, he is discussing this with a member of his crew, [[Taman]], who is against the idea.

If the player character meets Gimblebock after exiting the crypt while using {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}}, they learn that he is wondering what happened to his crew inside the crypt - though he is more worried about whether the player character has the upper hand than him regarding his allies' lives.

Resolving the situation peacefully rewards 50 [[Experience|XP]] and [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|24px|link=]][[Inspiration|Cheese Your Way Through]] for those with the [[Charlatan|charlatan]] background, including {{CharLink|Astarion}}. Fighting the bandits will grant 70 XP and the opportunity to take all their gear. Triggering the encounter from the balcony with Warryn does not lead to any approval increase no matter which option is chosen. It is necessary to start the encounter from the lower area near Gimblebock and Taman. It is possible to defeat the bandits after convincing them to leave, granting a total of 120 XP.
