Cragmaw Hollow

Cragmaw Hollow

Cragmaw Hollow, a cave mouth in a wooded ravine with a cold bandit campfire
Near Oakhaven
Used by A bandit crew hired by the Jade Lotus
Status Cleared by Trevor, spring 902 AP

Locked A cave near Oakhaven, where a bandit crew hired by the Syndicate made its base. Trevor destroyed the whole crew there single-handed, and became the legend of Oakhaven.

The bandit crew

Locked Low-level bandits, hired by the Syndicate for Gorath's plot to steal Oakhaven's Sunstone and take over the town. They manned the ambush on the road, the abandoned caravan with broken wheels that Trevor saw through.

Trevor alone

Locked In spring 902 AP Trevor went into the Hollow by himself and killed the entire crew. To Oakhaven it was the act of a hero. To him, it was clearing the board before the real game. See The road to Oakhaven.

No goblins

Early play had goblins here. That's retconned: Meridia has no goblins, and the Hollow's raiders were human bandits in Syndicate pay.

Open questions

Open What Elian has to do with the Hollow. The Rise of Ghost-9 names "Cragmaw Hollow, Elian, Valerius" for its third chapter, The Coin and the Confession.
