Bestowal

'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.'

Background

Grimkell thinks the goblins have occupied a large ruin, a former Dourhand city, to the south-west of Noglond.

Objectives

Objective 1

  • Defeat goblins (0/12)
  • Defeat the goblin-chieftain (0/1)

The Blue-crag Chieftain is at the large goblin camp in ruins to the south-west of Noglond.

Embarrassed by his previous skepticism, Grimkell has asked you to raid the goblins in their camp and slay their chieftain. He suggested you take allies.

Objective 2

  • Talk to Grimkell Stonebrearer

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

You should return to Grimkell with news of your victory.

Notes

He's in orodost, upper level, far East side. it's sort of a half-U that drops off a cliff to the mountain below. he is at the top around the path all the way to the end.
