After hearing how you fared against the goblins at Goblin-town, Glóin grew more concerned.
'You did well against those goblins, but something you mentioned has me concerned. I fear that the sheer number of goblins milling about at the entrance to that place is greater than I expected. It can only mean that they are stirred up to some task or afraid of something deeper in those accursed halls. It merits further investigation.
'Make your way back there, ${PLAYER}, and look for the goblin-leader before the main hall. Something is amiss within those halls, and we must discover the truth, sooner rather than later.
'If you find anything out of the ordinary, return to me so we can put an end to it quickly!'
The main entrance to Goblin-town is just to the north-east of Glóin's camp in the Northern High Pass.
Glóin believes that there may be something afoot within Goblin-town and bade you return to its halls in search of evidence exposing the reason behind the muster of the goblin-forces.
