Where do these hordes of goblins come from? Sounds strange as there are no spawns of new enemies in the game. I would do the goblin camp at lvl 4. I enter the temple through the damaged wall on the elevated area (where the goblins are sleeping). So there is no dialogue check and no chance of hostility.
Then I
1. Kill the goblins near the prisoner
2. Free Volo
3. Lure Gutt into her room and kill her followers.
4. Kill the huge troll (?) guardian past Gutt's room an get me the fast travel point in the Underdark.
5. Kill Dror Ragslin and his followers.
6. Long rest
7. Kill the halfling dealer (skipped that in release, or are they gone?)
8. Kill Minthara and her followers
9. Kill the Goblins in the dungeon and free Halsin.
10. Fast travel to the Blighted Village, hike back and attack the goblins in the open area of the camp from the direction of the bridge, easy.
