Cragmaw Tribe
The Cragmaw Tribe was a group of goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears who were known to control locations in the Neverwinter Wood near the Triboar Trail.
During the height of their power, the tribe controlled a ruined structure they named Cragmaw Castle and the caves known as the Cragmaw Hideout. They also worked in the legendary Wave Echo Cave for the "Black Spider," the drow agent of House Xorlarrin.
Campaign Recap
Ambushes on the Triboar Trail
On Day 2 of the campaign (15 Tarsakh), a group of Cragmaw Tribe goblins ambushed Gundren Rockseeker and Lords' Alliance agent Sildar Hallwinter on the Triboar Trail. Sildar was taken to Cragmaw Hideout, and Gundren was taken all the way to King Grol at Cragmaw Castle.
On Day 3 (16 Tarsakh), the same group of goblins attempted to ambush the Three Blind Mice (Conor McGregor, Herb Stoner and Jory Undammuth) at the same spot on the Triboar Trail. The three adventurers were headed toward Phandalin, and they survived the ambush and killed the Cragmaw goblins.
Shortly after the ambush, Bory Undammuth caught up with the adventurers, and they followed a trail north to the Cragmaw Hideout. After arriving, they invaded the hideout, killed the bugbear in charge (Klarg) and many others, and rescued Sildar. The group left behind one survivor, the goblin Yeemik, tied up in the caves.

Structure
The Cragmaw Tribe's leader was a bugbear named Grol, who referred to himself as the tribe's "king." Grol sent groups of the tribe to different locations for various reasons, and each group was led by another bugbear; for example, the group at Cragmaw Hideout was led by Klarg.
Public Agenda
The Cragmaw Tribe was mostly known for causing mischief on the Triboar Trail and the surrounding areas. They occasionally ambushed travelers along the trail, including merchants from Lionshield Coster.
In Tarsakh of 1492, before the Cragmaw Tribe was defeated by Collateral Damage and later disbanded, they were revealed to have been working for the House Xorlarrin agent known as the Black Spider.
