Location Summary
Access
The Goblin Camp is has a main entrance that is reached when crossing the bridge X: -43 Y: 373 in the Forest. Alternate entry is possible through where the Sunlit Wetlands and Forest meet by crossing the fallen tree bridge X: -23 Y: 319. Entering this area will reward the party with 15 exp.
Forest Road Checkpoint
To reach the camp, there is a guard post along the main road that has to be bypassed. Besides approaching directly, there is a side path through a tunnel filled with traps that can be avoided or disabled.
When you approach the guard post Sentinel Olak will be quick to question and threaten you. There are a few ways to bypass him without starting a fight:
- Sazza will vouch for you as part of the Save the Goblin Sazza quest.
- Illithid Persuasion
DC 2 Wisdom check. "Stand aside." - DC 15 Intimidation check. "I'm a hired sword - employer's inside. Stand aside. Now."
- Monk DC 15 Intimidation check with
Advantage. "I could best all of your sentinels with my bare hands. Let me pass." - DC 10 Nature check. "Glossy coat on that animal. Does she belong to the Nordiland worgata family?" (This will lead too the dung approach if successful.)
- DC 15 Deception check. "Your leader summoned me." (This will lead too the dung approach if successful.)
- Detect Thoughts DC 9 Intelligence check. "I'm a messenger - here to see Minthara."
If you fail any of the checks or pick certain ones, Olak will try to goad you into rubbing Worg dung on your face.
- Do as he asks, much to the disapproval of most of your Companions. You'll be let through at least.
- DC 10 Athletics check . Scoop up the warm dung and fling it at Olak's face. (This will start a fight but leave Olak Blinded for
Duration: 3 turns.) - Wink, gather the dung and fling it at all four guards. (Starts a fight but gains the approval of most companions.)
- Keep refusing or trying to leave with start a fight.

Booze Tub
Just right of the cooking split is a large skull upside down X: -95 Y: 442 that the goblins use to store their booze. If interacted with, you can combine a Basic Poison, Wyvern Toxin or Drow Poison to spike it. It is best to try this in turn based mode while also Hiding and/or having someone Performing as a Distraction. If you are noticed interacting with the tub, you'll be confronted on what you are doing. You can do a variety of skills checks to get by:
- "A lethal poison. Enough to take the lot of you down." This will turn the whole camp hostile.
- DC 5 Deception check. "Just a drop of firewine. It'll give the brew a real kick."
- DC 10 Intimidation check. "I'll slip a knife between your ribs if you don't piss off."
- Illithid Persuasion DC 2 Intelligence check. "Turn around and walk away. Do not question the will of the Absolute."
- Detect Thoughts DC 12 Intelligence check. "Don't be stupid. You can barely see straight."
If the drinks are spiked, a toast will begin with you pushed into joining in. Once more, you have different ways to handle things.
- Down the drink. DC 15
Constitution saving throw to avoid taking for
1d6 (1~6) 
Poison Duration: 10 turns. - DC 10 Sleight of Hand check. Spill the beer, then pretend to drink from the empty cup.
- DC 10 Deception check. "After you! I shouldn't drink before the host."
Failing any of the checks above will give you another chance to avoid suspicion:
- Down the drink. Leading to the save as above.
- "You've caught me. It's poisoned." This will turn the whole camp hostile.
- DC 10 Persuasion check. "I'm simply being a good guest, that's all."
- DC 10 Deception check. "I was checking none of you idiots had spilled anything foul in there."
- Detect Thoughts DC 12 Intelligence check. "Don't be stupid. You might be able to drink all day - the Absolute needs me sober."
If you avoid suspicion, the goblins will all drink up. Mirg, Grikka, Sul, Puli, Aggy, Gurk, Klagga and Breg will all quickly die from the poison. A few will also be lowered to half their health as well. You will be quickly accused of being behind it. You will be forced to attempt a few possible skill checks to avoid an outright fight. You will gain experience as if you killed the seven goblins yourself.
- DC 15 Deception check. "If I'd poisoned you, do you really think I'd still be here?"
- Drow DC 10 Intimidation check. "Consider it a privilege. I could have just gutted you."
- Detect Thoughts DC 12 Intelligence check. "You poisoned yourselves. This is Elderberry Beer - goblins are allergic to it."
If a fight is avoided, the goblins will go into high alert, thinking they're under attack as they take defensive positions around the camp. The booze tub will also get destroyed to avoid any more mishaps.
