Goblin Foothold
Epic - Prologue Hobbit QuestHalros wants to find out if the gobins have a camp nearby, and stop them before they decide to attack the town. He wants you to search for a goblin camp.
STEPS:
1) Find the goblin camp and kill 10 of them. Halros says to search the northeast or the northwest. There is indeed a goblin camp to the northwest. If you head towards the trees and mountains in that direction you will find it, and plenty of goblins (Gramsfoots) (25.6s, 68.5w). This camp is called Golfimbul's Hole. To the northeast of Halros' camp you will find more goblins, in an area called The Scrag-dells (25s, 67w). Any 10 goblins from either area will work, though be careful, if you delve deep into the camps alone, you may get swarmed trying to get out. In addition, each camp houses at least one 'Elite' mob.
2) Talk to Halros. He suspects the goblins are led by a chieftain, who reports to someone else that is not a goblin.
3) After you speak with him and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, Goluechor and Halros' Longsword, and you will now be able to take the next quest, Troubles to Come.
