Grabitel Robbers

The Grabitel are a band of Goblin robbers in the Forest of Frost. Their official emblem consists of a pair of crossed daggers, with two Reindeer antlers that resemble the sillhouette hands reaching towards a bag of treasure. The totem at their camp has the skelelton of a Pseudodragon hanging from it.

Structure

Robber Wife

The Robber Wife is a cruel, oversized goblin, who rules the Grabitel Bandits purely because she's the most cunning of the group. As long as she continues to provide for them, she will continue to be loyally served. Her daughter, Snik-Snak, is kept somewhat outside the robbers' heirarchy.

Bugbears and Hobgoblins

The gang contains a few Bugbears and Hobgoblins, who enjoy a higher status than the regular goblins. They provide the muscle, intimidating to the poor travellers on the road that they accost. The hobgoblins also help manage the loot, since they are generally the best crafters of the bunch.

Goblins

The regular goblins are fierce and wild. They are sometimes runaways from the towns of Ketterzan, or the offspring of such runaways. They provide backup to the Hobgoblins, and look after the animals.

Animals

The robbers have a few Reindeer and a pack of Goblin Dogs.

Frightening
