| Overview | Combat |
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.
Gerringothe's 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. As well, her Visages grant her coin armour, which increases her total hit points.
“I REQUIRE GOLD„
Involvement[edit | edit source]
When approached, Gerringothe quickly demands gold from the party. Besides attacking her, the party can toss her some gold, though she demands more. When asked for a clear price, she demands all of the party's gold. However, if given anything short of 5,000 gold, Gerringothe claims, that she was given too little and attack.
If Gerringothe Thorm is paid more than 5,000 gold, she gives the party the 
Signed Trade Visa which casts the unique and powerful one-use spell: 
.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
If choosing "I have no more gold" or "I have no more money to give", she starts combat. Otherwise, the party can do a variety of social Skill Checks to avoid it:
The party can attempt to persuade Gerringothe that gold isn't everything:
- [PERSUASION] Why stay in this rotted building? Take your gold and be free. (DC 18)
- [MONK] [PERSUASION] The happiness gold grants is temporary at best. Do not let your need for gold trap you here. (DC 18
) - [EVIL CLERIC] [PERSUASION] I know lust and avarice when I see it. You'll never be happy, no matter how much gold I give you. (DC 18 )
- [PERSUASION] Your obsession with gold is hurting you. If you leave this place, maybe you can still be saved. (DC 18 )
- [WARLOCK] [PERSUASION] Gold is such a limited desire. With the right help, you could become so much more. (DC 18 )
- [PERSUASION] Gold, indeed - not for the toll, but for yourself. Isn't that right? (DC 21)
- [INTIMIDATION] It's over. Stand down. Now. (DC 21)
- [DECEPTION] Requesting more than one toll per traveller is quite illegal, per the relevant statutes. What is your defence? (DC 21)
Rogues get a special dialogue path:
- [ROGUE] [PERSUASION] The 'toll collector' scam is old and uninspired. Give it a rest - figure out a new trick. (DC 18 )
- [DECEPTION] Yes, a trick - you're a trickster! You don't deserve the gold! (DC 18)
- [PERSUASION] Look, I've run this scam myself - I know it's a trick. A basic one at that. (DC 18)
- [INTIMIDATION] I require passage - or your throat will be cut. (DC 18)
Optionally, the party can attempt to use Deception to convince Gerringothe she's been fired and replaced:
- [BARD] [DECEPTION] I'm afraid I'm actually your replacement. You've been fired as toll collector - terribly sorry. (DC 18 )
- [DECEPTION] I'm here to replace you as toll collector. (DC 18)
- [DECEPTION] You've been promoted! You'll collect gold from a much better tollhouse (DC 21)
- [PERSUASION] You've done a great job here. Really set the standard. But I'll take it from here. (DC 21)
- [INTIMIDATION] You dare to question their decision? Leave this place at once! (DC 21)
If the party member is a Paladin or Druid, OR they have found and read 
Gerringothe's Logbook (located in the basement), they can accuse her of corruption using Intimidation:
- [PALADIN] [INTIMIDATION] You're an endless pit of avarice. I won't bow to your corrupt demands. (DC 18 )
- [DRUID] [INTIMIDATION] Enough! You're an embodiment of the curse and its corruption. You get nothing from me. (DC 18 )
- [INTIMIDATION] You're corrupt. I don't take kindly to such tactics. (DC 18)
- [PERSUASION] Gold, indeed - not for the toll, but for yourself. Isn't that right? (DC 21)
- [INTIMIDATION] It's over. Stand down. Now. (DC 21)
- [DECEPTION] Requesting more than one toll per traveller is quite illegal, per the relevant statutes. What is your defence? (DC 21)
If having any gold at all (because it was stashed away), all available conversation options eventually lead to a fight.
Whichever approach is taken, succeeding leads to her having a moment of clarity before stating she will "pay it back". Then she seemingly kills herself. There will be same experience reward as if defeating her and all her Visage minions and also full amount of gold magically bound to her can be found.
