== Description ==
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.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • As of Patch 1, Gimblebock's race is simply "Gnome", without having a subrace specified (unlike his fellow bandit Warryn who is listed as a Rock Gnome). This may be a bug.
  • Gimblebock chose an unfortunate place to stand and talk. If the party get close enough without being seen, they could snap the coiled rope holding the foundation block above him.
