'I think I know what's going on. There are some sprawling old ruins just south-west of here. I think the goblins have occupied those ruins.

'I'd be sorry to have to send a message up to Thorin's Halls or off to Gondamon for help. I guess I'd feel like Vífill must have. They would laugh and leave it lie.

'I wonder if you and some friends, perhaps, could deal with these goblins? If you could raid their camp in those ruins and defeat their chieftain, I wouldn't have to ask for help from elsewhere. I'd gather some allies, though -- the camp is likely to be well-guarded.'

Grímkell is in Noglond, north-east of the goblin encampment.

You should return to Grímkell with news of your victory.
