As long as the alarm was not raised, no one will stop the party, assuming they are either a True Soul or a welcomed visitor. | ||
Alternatively, | Alternatively, a party member can also get taken to the Worg Pens by getting themselves captured - either by offending the goblins (i.e. getting caught pick-pocketing), or through the potential events of the {{Quest|Ask the Goblin Priestess for Help}} quest (drinking Gut's potion of sleep while not being resistant to it). In this case, the party member is taken to the prison at the Worg Pens, and has the option to break out and find Halsin that way. | ||
Regardless, once in the Worg Pen, approaching the cages triggers a cutscene where the Goblins harass Halsin, who is disguised in his bear wildshape. Using the {{SAI|Speak with Animals}} spell allows to understand Halsin in his animal form. There are various dialogue options to react to the scenario at hand. Regardless of what happens, in order to free Halsin, the goblins guarding the area must be fought, which includes {{CharLink|Vrak|Butcher Vrak}} and {{CharLink|Zur|Beastmaster Zurk}}. | |||

He says that the leaders of the Goblins are planning to assault the grove and offers to join up with the party as a temporary companion to escape. Accepting his offer turns the entire camp hostile. If Halsin's offer is rejected, he remains in the worg pens until the leaders are taken care of. | ||
