In briefanswer capsule

The Great Goblin heads the mountain goblins who seize Thorin’s company. He accuses Thorin of spying, theft, killing and elf-alliance and demands their whole route; he claims prior knowledge of Thorin’s folk. Seeing Orcrist—Biter to goblins, once fatal under Gondolin—he roars to have captives cut, beaten and thrown into pits, then rushes at Thorin. A self-lit blade pierces him; he dies and his host flees into the dark.
