Cragmaw Encounters
General Features:
-Ceilings are 15 feet high unless otherwise noted.
-Doors: Interior doors are made of thick wood planks, more like ties, with iron bands. There
are no locks nor
keyholes. Doors take DC 15 Strength check to break down a
barricaded door.
-Floors: Cracked and uneven flagstones.
-Lighting: During the day their is dim light from the arrow slits and cracks in the rubble. At
night it is dark. All of the inhabitants have darkvision so there are no torches, only an
occasional cooking fire.
-Arrow Slits: A creature on one side gains 3/4 cover from a creature on the other. The arrow
slits are 8 inches
wide and 4 feet tall.
Players can approach from three areas: Area 1, Area 10, and Area 11. Areas 10 and 11
are the sneakier ways.

DC of 10. 3d6 damage on a failed DC 10 Dex save. The noise puts everyone on alert from
areas 3, 7, 8, and 9.

Archer Post: (This is actually two areas, the guard posts either side of area I.) Each
room has one goblin boss and one goblin. For a total of 2x goblin bosses and 2x
goblins. If they raise the alarm (which requires one of them to use an action and a
movement), then it alerts all of the goblins and hobgoblins from areas 4 and 6. For an
additional 3x goblins and 4x hobgoblins.

by the 2x Hobgoblins here. They will warn King Grol in area 14.
13.
Owlbear Tower: the arrow slits are plugged or shuttered. A DC 15 Listen check can
hear deep stenorous breathing.
