In 3850, [[Grogger Split-Tooth]] is a [[goblin]] scout of the [[Red Claw Tribe]] who has been sent with [[Klup]] to scout the [[human]] settlement of [[Terwhane]]. After killing a stag which ran out of [[Whane's Weald]] which they were hiding in, Grogger tricked [[Klup]] into capturing back their [[mawbeasts]] who had gone after the stag. Kulp successfully manages to attach leads back on the mawbeast and things were going well, frustrated Grogger fires an arrow into Klup's neck killing him and causing the mawbeasts to devour him. [[Grogger Split-Tooth|Grogger]], who had hoped he avoided detection by the [[humans]] at [[Terwhane]], returned back to the [[Red Claw Tribe|Red Claw Tribe's]] cave and reported back to their leader, [[Bung]]. After advising of the fate of [[Klup]] and the defences of [[Terwhane]], [[Bung]] ordered an attack upon the village and forced Grogger to lead the left flank of their forces. | In 3850, [[Grogger Split-Tooth]] is a [[goblin]] scout of the [[Red Claw Tribe]] who has been sent with [[Klup]] to scout the [[human]] settlement of [[Terwhane]].

Grogger agreed and, without telling [[Gritter Fingernipper|Gritter]], [[Klunk Blackclaw|Klunk]], and [[Ug]] of his true plan, begun heading to an old dwarf hold which Magwa was living in. A short while after, [[Furna|Furna's]] crew arrived at the cave and [[Igne]] found a map to Magwa's location. After reaching the fort, Grogger and the goblins agreed to enter however [[Gritter Fingernipper|Gritter]], [[Klunk Blackclaw|Klunk]], [[Kackle Flashzap|Kackle]] and [[Ug]] ended up staying back without letting Grogger know. Eventually, Grogger found Magwa Howlclaw and [[Jo'os]], unsucessfully convincing them to help him but did allow them to stay until the sun falls to rest. | ||
[[Furna|Furna's]] crew arrived during the day at the fort. Furna, [[Shalesh]], [[Berusk]] and [[Hr'zak]] proceeded into the cave in hope to catch the goblins by surprise. Furna ordered Shalesh to kill the [[mawbeasts]] as they past by them and slowly made their way into the hold. [[Grogger Split-Tooth|Grogger]], who was unable to sleep due to [[Ug|Ug's]] snoring, spotting the approaching salamanders and alerted the rest of the goblins, breaking out in a fight. This fight also woke up [[Magwa Howlclaw]] and [[Jo'os]] who were in their quarters, and using the power of Magwa's magical prod, Magwa killed Hr'zak and the goblins retreated into a nearby toliet. The goblins escaped down the sewer and Klunk left a bomb behind to cover their escape, Furna realised this too late and the explosion partially collapsed the hold on top of the crew and were unable to follow them down. | |||

Ascent of the Goblin King by Rob Burman is a book in the Tales of Pannithor line of novels.
It depicts Grogger Split-tooth rise to power and how he achieved it.
About
Grogger Split-tooth is a goblin with ambition. Big ambitions! After a mysterious vision shows that Grogger could become the king of all goblins, he sets out on a perilous quest to become the supreme ruler of all Pannithor’s greenskins. There’s just one problem: only he believes the vision!
First though, he needs to rescue a goblin wizard that’s being held captive by a group of salamander corsairs. These man-sized, lizard-like creatures aren’t going to give up the wizard without a fight, which means Grogger’s going to need all the help he can get.
Unfortunately for him, he’s joined by a goblin with a love for high explosives, a troll that wants to kill him, and a beast handler who is ready to stab him in the back; Grogger’s journey to becoming king isn’t going to be an easy one.
