Quest-Related Events

An the road to the Dogeater Goblin Camp, you'll find an injured Nord on the side of the road who will curse out:

"Damn those murdering goblins!"

Goblins under their new king has left him a survivor of a brutal attack, he ask of you to stop the goblin king before the goblins attack Port Hunding:

"Goblins. They're gonna kill us all!"

What happened?

"They killed everyone—my brothers and our five guards. They speared me good, left me for dead. I crawled here after they left.
Their new king's got them all riled up, ready to attack Port Hunding and wipe out the town!"

What can I do about it?

"Kill their king! They won't attack the town without him to lead them. Bring me his crown so I know the bastard's dead. I'll try to make it to town, unless the Goblins kill me first."

I'll do it.

You can ask him more about the impending attack:

"I just need to gather my strength and hobble back to town. Get that Goblin king and bring me his crown, if you can!"

How'd you run into the Goblins?

"We actually went looking for them, if you can believe that. We'd heard they had a new king and that he was stirring up trouble. We figured we could handle them, but there were too many for us."

Why don't we just warn the town?

"No good. Bhosek'll never believe it. He's a suspicious bastard and will think we're trying to trick him somehow. He'd have our heads on pikes. I'm too fond of my head to risk it."

What'll you do if I go after the king?

"I'll try to make it to town. I'm too injured to be any good to you, and if the Goblins catch me out here, I'm dead."

Once you've acquired the Battered Crown, you can find him outside the Screaming Mermaid in Port Hunding:

"Did you do it? Did you kill the Goblin king?"

Yes. Here's the crown.

"By Kyne, you did it! I've been expecting them to attack the town any minute. Bhosek tossed me out when I tried to warn him, said he'd have my head if I didn't shut up. He'll never know you saved his town for him."

Dialogue

After the quest, he will say:

"If it's not Goblins, it'll be something else tomorrow. I swear this town is cursed."

Why aren't you in the tavern?

"They kicked me out. They heard Bhosek threatened me and they don't want to risk his Fists storming in to arrest me."
