Queen Bargnot
Race: Goblin Role: Queen of the goblin clan operating beneath the High Road / Mere of Deadmen cliffs Affiliation: Cragmaw remnant (presumed — given the regional geography and the Cragmaw / Heiress of Orcus history at Phandalin) Status (latest): Killed in session 016 — final blow by AC (Round 4 CRIT for 24+ DMG). First boss-monster of the campaign. First Appearance: Session 015
Description
Sat on a throne on a raised platform / stage in a chamber accessed via a secret door past Marrow-Gnaw's lair. Two Goblin Warriors flank her. Was drinking wine when AC eased the door open; threw her wine across the room and yelled in Goblin.
What the Party Knows
- Reigns over the goblin clan that ambushed Nathaniel, that escorted Bree / Ben / Teppo the Gnome toward sacrifice (or sale), and that fed Marrow-Gnaw with travelers.
- Held Koblob (and other goblins) in 6' iron cages — operates a captor-of-captors economy.
- Has the stolen Writs of Establishment (presumed) somewhere in or near her chamber.
- (Confirmed session 016) — the writs were in the throne chamber, recovered after her death.
- (Confirmed session 016) — she was operating under the direction of The Spider, who corresponded with her by letter and supplied a marked map of merchant-traffic targets.
Final Engagement (Session 016)
- Threw her wine, screamed "SWARM HIM!" in Round 1.
- Anklet Heat Metal'd by Moist for total ~23 DMG over two rounds (concentration eventually broken by the goblin Sniper).
- Ubys landed Command on her — "SURRENDER!" — Round 1; she resisted then complied, then resumed combat in Round 3 once the heat-metal anklet finally went cold.
- Round 4: AC marked her, leapt onto the stage, and CRIT for 24+ DMG. Her last word was "KILL!" (Round 3) and her last sound was a sulfur-tinged gurgle (Round 4). Lackeys fled into the dark.
