The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Goblin Trouble
1 of 6: Go to the Crestbridge camp (location 41 on the Nibenay map) and talk to Barthel Gernand about goblins.
2 of 6: Agree to help him and the others chase the goblins off their land, then talk to Mirisa about the goblins.
3 of 6: She'll tell you that the reason the goblins are crossing through Cropsford instead of sticking to their lairs is that they're at war with each other.
4 of 6: Question her further to learn that you can stop the war by either recovering the stolen totem head from the goblins in Timberscar Hollow (location 43 on the map) or by killing the goblin shaman in the Cracked Wood Cave (location 45).
5 of 6: When you've accomplished either or both of the two above objectives, report back to Gernand at Crestbridge to finish the quest.
6 of 6: They'll all head off to Cropsford (location 44 on the Nibenay map) soon after, and you can stop by in a couple of weeks to see that they've really built up the place.
