Objective 3
- Talk to Bilbo in Goblin-town
Bilbo has asked to speak to you before dealing again with Bauglám Fork-tongue.
- Bilbo lowers his voice and speaks to you in little more than a whisper.
- Bilbo Baggins: 'When I was walking in the mountains, I was captured by a party of goblins, and they started hauling me to their camp. We had gone no more than a hundred feet or so when a second patrol of the creatures came up, led by this fellow. Now, I wouldn't say I'm an expert on goblin-kind, but I have had enough run-ins with them to know that they love gold more than anything. So I had to think fast, and... well, I told them I had been an adventurer in my younger days, and I had hidden sacks of gold in the mountains.'
- 'The goblins fought among themselves for the right to my treasure, just as I thought they would! This fellow won the contest right quickly, before I could get away, and the next thing I knew I was locked in that cell here in Goblin-town! I couldn't tell them the truth, of course; that there were no sacks of gold. When I adventured with the dwarves I did end up with two small chests of silver and of gold, but that was a long time ago and they were never as large as the rumours around the Hill would put them!'
- Bilbo slaps his hands together. 'I think I've got it!' he says. 'You'll get us out of this, <name>, trust me!'

- Bilbo Baggins says, "Did you not beat that other fellow and his finest warriors? What was his name?"
- Bauglám Fork-tongue says, "Sorrog Crows-eye? I would not boast about besting that weakling!"
- Bilbo Baggins says, "What would you say to another context? A game to prove your mettle?"
- Bauglám Fork-tongue says, "I am listening."
- Bilbo Baggins says, "Single combat! If you beat <name>, I will lead you to my treasure."
- Bilbo Baggins says, "And if <name> beats you, we are permitted to leave."
- Bauglám Fork-tongue says, "Hmmmm. Single combat? One-on-one?"
- Bauglám Fork-tongue says, "I agree to this contest."
Objective 5
- Talk to Bauglám Fork-tongue
Bauglám Fork-tongue seems strangely confident about facing you in single combat.

- Bilbo Baggins says, "Yes, what do these fellows think?"
- Bilbo Baggins says, "Do you think they'll understand that you're going back on a bargain?"
- Bilbo Baggins says, "And if you won't deal fairly with us, might you cheat them too?"
- Bilbo Baggins says, "Maybe he offered to split my gold with you?"

- Bauglám Fork-tongue says, "Don't you worry about it."
- Bauglám Fork-tongue says, "You've made your point, rat!"
