Involvement

Act One

After boarding the boat from the Underdark beach, another boat captained by Corsair Greymon sails up alongside the party's boat. Greymon comes aboard, and the player character must pass a check or attack Greymon and his crew.

Passing a  DC 15 Athletics Check to push him into the water during the cutscene kills Greymon, sinking his corpse and inventory to the bottom of the sea, making both permanently inaccessible. This also initiates combat with the surviving duergar, and garners approval from  Lae'zel and  Astarion.

In a chest aboard Greymon's skiff is the  Intransigent Warhammer. If Greymon or a member of his crew is pushed into the water during battle, they wash up at the beach near the southern pier of the Decrepit Village.

Otherwise, Greymon can be convinced to let the party proceed, either by bringing  Sergeant Thrinn's boots back or by passing one of the following checks:

• [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] MOVE YOUR BOAT, OR SINK. MAKE THE CHOICE. (DC 10 )
• [INTIMIDATION] In the name of the Absolute - you will let me pass. (DC 10)
• [DECEPTION] I saw a body left by the myconids - your 'Gekh' must be dead. (DC 15)
• [DECEPTION] I'm afraid Gekh is dead - he fell fighting the myconids. (DC 15)
• [BRANDED] [PERSUASION] Just let me cross - I have the brand, see? (DC 10)

Successfully convincing Greymon to let the party pass grants party members with the  Charlatan background the inspiration ⁠A Friend to All. Defeating the duergar instead grants the inspiration ⁠Drowned in the Dark to party members with the  Soldier background.

If Greymon sails to Grymforge with the party, he moves to the area where deep gnome slaves are digging out  Nere and can be traded with. As a follower of the Absolute, he sides with Nere, if the party choose to fight him.
