I'm in Chapter 5 trying to find the lost children, but I've been searching the northeastern part of the map for a while and still haven't found the goblin camp.
Are the children going to die if I don't get to them in time? Also, does anyone have a hint as to where I should be looking?

From Toth's Farm go up, up, right, up and follow this path to Goblin outpost & camp.
Children never died during my playthroughs, but I don't know if this can't happen.
edit: I marked the camp on map.

Well, it turns out I had picked up the children without realizing it. I clicked on what looked like a brown blanket inside of a cage . . . then wandered around the map some more because I didn't realize those were the children. Luckily this post tipped me off to the fact that I had found them in the tent after all.
