— Taman, arguing with Gimblebock

Involvement

Act One

Taman is at the Chapel Entrance arguing with  Gimblebock on whether to abandon their post to search the Nautiloid. While Gimblebock insists on exploring the ship, Taman is wary that the Nautiloid will be the death of them. Nearby,  Quelenna and  Warryn also guard the ruins.

On approaching, Gimblebock automatically engages the party in conversation. The party can convince the looters to leave the area or attack them. Failing any of the ability checks causes Taman and the others to attack.

Idle banter

• Gimblebock

  There could be all sorts of loot in that thing - don't you want to be rich?

• Taman

  Of course I want to be rich - but not if it'll get me killed.

• Gimblebock

  You'll die a bloody pauper unless you take a few risks.

• Taman

  Why don't we just wait a while? Make sure it's safe.

• Gimblebock

  Either we act now, or someone else will pick that wreck clean and leave us nothing.

• Taman

  Haven't seen anyone but us. It's just wilderness out here.

• Gimblebock

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

• Taman

  Just being careful. Like my mum always said, fools rush in.
