'I first encountered the goblins of Goblin-town when I was with Thorin's Company on our quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. They had captured us and dragged us into their vile tunnels, cracking whips and singing terrible songs. We had our vengeance upon them at the Battle of Five Armies, but they simply returned to the Mountains and began gathering their strength again.

'Now with darkness rising everywhere, they have become a threat again...a threat we must hinder as quickly as possible. The entrance we were taken through was hidden, probably a postern gate. You should seek out their main gate and wreak havoc among their number living within their town or on the surface.

'The High Pass is east and then north of here. I would search in the valley below the path leading into the Mountains Goblin-town's main gate.'
