Cragmaw Hideout
A cave system along the Triboar Trail east of Phandalin that, until recently, served as a forward base for the Cragmaw goblin tribe and their bugbear chief Klarg.
The hideout was a natural cave formation extended over the years by the goblins — wolf den, twin pools chamber, goblin barracks, a throne room. The cave is now empty: the party cleared it during their journey east, killing Klarg, his bugbear guards, and most of the goblin garrison. Their lieutenant Yeemik was also dispatched. The wolves the goblins kept are free.
The cave is the original location where Sildar Hallwinter was held prisoner by the Cragmaw goblins after their ambush on the road from Neverwinter.
The party recovered:
- The stolen Lionshield caravan goods (later delivered to Linene Graywind).
- Two Potions of Healing.
- A small Figurine of Wondrous Power shaped like a newt.
- Some coin.
The hideout itself is now empty and unguarded. Useful, perhaps, as a future cache or hideout if the party ever needs a defensible location near Phandalin.
