“... You're both twice as tall as me but have half the bloody backbone!„
Description[edit | edit source]
Gimblebock is the aggressive and selfish gnome leader of the crew of bandits looting the Overgrown Ruins. He is quick to start a fight under the assumption that the player is his competition, trying to steal whatever treasure is on the Nautiloid Wreck and in the ruins.
He is 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 party members arrive, he is discussing this with a member of his crew, Taman, who is against the idea.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act One[edit | edit source]
Main article: Explore the Ruins
Gimblebock can be found at the Chapel Entrance with Quelenna, Taman, and Warryn. On approaching, he automatically engages the party in conversation and demands they leave.
The party can use one of several Ability Checks including Persuasion, Deception, Intimidation as well as class-specific options for monks, warlocks, paladins, barbarians, and fighters to cause Gimblebock and the others to leave peacefully. The party can also choose to attack.
If meeting Gimblebock after exiting the crypt while using

Resolving the situation peacefully rewards 50 XP and 
Cheese Your Way Through for those with the charlatan background, including 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. To gain approval, it is necessary to start the encounter from the lower area near Gimblebock and Taman.
