Gold Reward

The encounter’s normal Gold reward depends on whether Fat Gremlin escapes. If Fat Gremlin does not escape, the normal Gold reward is 100%. If Fat Gremlin escapes before Gremlin Merc stole any Gold, it is 50%. If Fat Gremlin escapes after any Gold was stolen, it is 0%. Stolen Gold is moved to Fat Gremlin as Heist, so killing Fat Gremlin returns that stolen Gold.

When the Gremlin Merc is defeated, it spawns one Fat Gremlin and one Sneaky Gremlin.
