 '''Bugthimble''' is a [[kobold]] that will appear when a Dirt Mound {{Coords|8|24}} in the [[Graveyard (Lower City)|Lower City graveyard]] is dug.
+{{DiQ|'ere! Whatcha doing? Get them sausage fingers off my crate!|Bugthimble| after you dig him up}}
 ==Involvement==
-Passing a successful Deception check grants an inspiration point (Grave Prospector) to characters with the [[Charlatan]] background, after which Bugthimble will leave and bar the player from gaining the unique weapon.
+When the party digs up the Dirt Mound, Bugthimble will pop out, telling the party to get their hands off his 'crate' which he found first. The party can respond a number of different ways. [[Gnome]] and [[Dragonborn]] characters get special dialogue.
+* {{Dialogue option|What are you doing in my father's grave?!|roll=Deception|dc=25}} {{Note|name=flee|Causes Bugthimble to flee.}}
+* {{Dialogue option|''Wonder if you've ever buried someone alive.''|tags=Dark Urge}} {{Note|name=buried|Buries Bugthimble alive.}}
+* {{Dialogue option|''Resist the temptation to put her underground. Try to leave.''|tags=Dark Urge}}
+* {{Dialogue option|Fine, I'll go elsewhere.}}
+* {{Dialogue option|Thank goodness. You can keep it.}}
+** {{Dialogue option|Oh, just... y'know, ''the curse''.|roll=Deception|dc=15}} {{Note|name=flee}}
+** {{Dialogue option|This 'crate' was promised to Nine-Fingers. You don't want to steal from her, do you?|roll=Intimidation|dc=18}} {{Note|name=flee}}
+*** Pleasure doing business with you.
+*** Sure. Now Scram.
+*** {{Dialogue option|That depends. I charge a fee for not breaking your snout.|roll=Intimidation|dc=25}}
+*** Attack
+** {{Dialogue option|I've got enough gold, thanks.}} {{Note|name=attack|Bugthimble attacks the party}}
+** {{Dialogue option|I'll just take what I want from your corpse.}} {{Note|name=attack}}
+* {{Dialogue option|Hand it over or I'll bury you in that hole, kobold.|roll=Intimidation|dc=25}}
+* {{Dialogue option|You'd take this from a dragon kin? Despite our shared blood?|tags=Dragonborn}}
+* {{Dialogue option|The magic of dragons flows in my veins, kobold. Do not test me.|tags=Draconic Bloodline}}
+* {{Dialogue option|''Attack.''}} {{Note|name=attack}}
+Trying to leave will cause Bugthimble to stop you and tell you to pay an extortion fee:
+* {{Dialogue option|All right. ''Fine.''}}
+* {{Dialogue option|I don't have that much money!}} {{Note|name=attack}}
+* {{Dialogue option|Hells no! You think I'm scared of a kobold?}} {{Note|name=attack}}
+* {{Dialogue option|You'd ask this of me? We're practically kin.|tags=Dragonborn}}
+* {{Dialogue option|''Attack.''}} {{Note|name=attack}}
+{{notelist}}
+If Bugthimble is killed in combat, {{RarityItem|Kurwin's Cauteriser}} can be looted from his corpse. Making Bugthimble flee or burying him alive will prevent the party from obtaining Kurwin's Cauteriser. If Bugthimble is convinced the "crate" is Nine-Fingers and you pass the extortion intimidation check, Bugthimble will throw the  {{RarityItem|Kurwin's Cauteriser}} at you before fleeing.

+Paying his extortion fee:
-Initially, there are four dialog options: two responses without rolls, an intimidation option using Nine-Fingers as a threat (DC 18), and a deception option (DC 25). Successful deception makes Bugthimble leave (disappear). Successfully using the Nine-Fingers intimidation leads to the option to leave dialog or Intimidate again (DC 25) to get a reward. The second successful intimidation makes Bugthimble attack the speaker once and disappear, dropping Kurwin's Cauterizer.

-Using either of the first two dialog options opens up an alternate intimidation (DC 25). If the character is a draconic bloodline sorcerer, an additional intimidation option opens up and is an automatic success if you take it. Success on either one makes Bugthimble leave without dropping anything.
+== Combat ==
+Bugthimble fights and six {{CharLink|Kobold Hole|Kobold Holes}} open up - they spawn kobolds unless you block them by standing on them. The holes remain until five kobolds have spawned from each (a random mixture of kobolds, kobold scouts, or kobold inventors) or the hole is destroyed (they are targetable objects).
-Failing any initial intimidation or deception leads to combat. Bugthimble fights and six kobold holes open up - they spawn kobolds unless you block them by standing on them.
