- Langhár: 'Oh no... this is the village of Waldfast, and the goblins have completely destroyed it! There are a few goblins out there, but not enough to level the entire village. There must be more goblins hiding somewhere nearby. Hmm, what to do....

- Skalla: '<name>, you have returned. Tell me what you have learned of the goblins.'

- 'And here we thought the goblins were just getting creative with their raiding! This is a serious situation, <name>. This Great Goblin was happy enough to stay in his mountain tunnels and grow fat while his underlings squabbled over scraps, but the hobgoblins are another matter entirely. They are aggressive, vicious, and if reports from the North are true, they are most loyal to the Herald of Winter.
- 'A unified Gundabad and Goblin-town is an immediate threat to the people of the Vales. If we do not act quickly, a flood of goblins will wash over us, and few will survive. We simply do not have the numbers to combat such a massive force.'
