Krogg, Goblin King

"Stupid KROGG, make me stir this stupid slop, it’s not MY fault my stupid brother…"

When he sees the heroes: "AH DON’T KILL ME I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW IT WAS MY BROTHER, PINKY! HE DID IT"

He was put on slop duty as punishment for his brother Pinky’s crimes. He ran off to serve some "hack" wizard called "Greenthumb."

Pinky has been secretly visiting his brother Sprig using some magical item to come and go invisibly (a Cloak of Lesser Windform). He wants to convince Sprig to join him in service to Greenthumb.

Pinky claims there is an dreadful force that will soon terrorize the region (unsure what that means).

If the party has taken a large amount of damage and is in need of healing, Sprig can offer some slop. Tastes terrible but very nutritious. Eating one bowl heals 2 Hit Dice worth of HP. Eating more than that will not heal them any further, and may cause awful vomiting.

Krogg (a bugbear) is in the next room awaiting his slop. Very mean, very strong.

"Oh, before you go?" Sprig asks to stab one of you (just a little stab), in case you lose—so Krogg knows he at least put up a fight. Will offer one of you to punch him in return, but quickly drops it if heroes seem unwilling. "It’ll probably be fine…"

A very large creature sits behind a wooden desk scrawling something, growls without looking up:

"IT’S ABOUT TIME, I’M STARVING. GO TAKE THIS LETTER TO YOU BROTHER, THE BETRAYER—"

Manglemaul. Move 6. 1d6+3 damage, Grappled (escape DC 10).

Crack Skulls. Move 6. Swing a Grappled creature at another creature. Both take 1d6+3 damage, ending the Grapple.

Scrawled Letter. Sloppy handwriting outlines a deal with "GREEETOM" who instructed Krogg to steal the amulet and a fairy for a strange ritual. In exchange, the goblins were to receive 10 wagons of pigs and rats. "10" is crossed out, "30" is written in big bold lettering.

Manglemaul. (Rare, 2-handed Maul). 1d6+STR bludgeoning damage. On hit: you may Grapple a creature smaller than you (escape DC 10). Action: You may swing a creature Grappled this way at another creature within Reach, damaging both of them and ending the Grapple.

Abacus with beads made of bone, silver and gold (30 gp). Used by Krogg to keep track of his ledgers.

Golden Heart Locket. Opens to reveal small (not very good) paintings of Marla Homebrew’s children. She’ll definitely want this back!
