Crock

 is an NPC and potential enemy in Outward.

Description
 can be found to your left immediately after entering Vendavel Fortress from the beach. He is equipped with:
 * Brutal Club, Black Plate Helm, Zagis' Armor and Halfplate Boots.

At first,  seems fairly amicable and welcoming, but do not be misled. Accepting his hospitality may lead to you being sent to Vendavel Prison and losing all your items. They can however be reclaimed from a nearby chest, found at the end of the hallway past the guards. You will need to offer to help them in order to be let through the gate.

Quest
If the player has started the Vendavel Quest, more dialogue options are available. Bringing Gaberry Wine allows the player to sit and drink with him.

If you decline to sit and drink with him, or say you're just passing through and don't want to rest, he will become hostile and attack the player.

If you choose to drink with him, the bandit becomes drunk. You can then send him to go fight Burac Carillon, the gate warden of Cierzo, or offer to fight him yourself (see below). Returning to Cierzo immediately after and speaking to Burac does not yield any information about his fight with Crock. Crock can then be found (apparently still alive) in the prison underneath the Aberdeen house, if you have the Cierzo Town Key.

Combat & Tactics
It is recommended to bring Gaberry Wine and get him drunk before you fight him, as this lowers his stats considerably. When he is drunk, he has the following stats:
 * 80 Health
 * 41 Impact resistance
 * 6 Protection
 * Damage resistance: 53, -35
 * His 45% damage bonus is reduced to 15%, so he deals 33 damage.

Immediately after defeating Crock you will be assaulted by two additional Bandits from down the hall.

He can inflict the player with Confusion.

Trivia

 * If the player convinced Crock to duel Burac Carillon, he will be imprisoned by Cierzo. If the player has access to the gated room below town hall, Crock can be seen sitting in a small cage near the door.
