Each
one
of
his
folk
was
clad
in
a
hauberk
of
steel
mail
that
hung
to
his
knees
,
and
his
legs
were
covered
with
hose
of
a
fine
and
flexible
metal
mesh
,
the
secret
of
whose
making
was
possessed
by
Dain
's
people
.
The
dwarves
are
exceedingly
strong
for
their
height
,
but
most
of
these
were
strong
even
for
dwarves
.
In
battle
they
wielded
heavy
two-handed
mattocks
;
but
each
of
them
had
also
a
short
broad
sword
at
his
side
and
a
round
shield
slung
at
his
back
.
Their
beards
were
forked
and
plaited
and
thrust
into
their
belts
.
Their
caps
were
of
iron
and
they
were
shod
with
iron
,
and
their
faces
were
grim
.
Trumpets
called
men
and
elves
to
arms
.
Before
long
the
dwarves
could
be
seen
coming
up
the
valley
at
a
great
pace
.
They
halted
between
the
river
and
the
eastern
spur
;
but
a
few
held
on
their
way
,
and
crossing
the
river
drew
near
the
camp
;
and
there
they
laid
down
their
weapons
and
held
up
their
hands
in
sign
of
peace
.
Bard
went
out
to
meet
them
,
and
with
him
went
Bilbo
.
"
We
are
sent
from
Dain
son
of
Nain
,
"
they
said
when
questioned
.
"
We
are
hastening
to
our
kinsmen
in
the
Mountain
,
since
we
learn
that
the
kingdom
of
old
is
renewed
.
But
who
are
you
that
sit
in
the
plain
as
foes
before
defended
walls
?
"
This
,
of
.
course
,
in
the
polite
and
rather
old-fashioned
language
of
such
occasions
,
meant
simply
:
"
You
have
no
business
here
.
We
are
going
on
,
so
make
way
or
we
shall
fight
you
!
"
They
meant
to
push
on
between
the
Mountain
and
the
loop
of
the
river
,
for
the
narrow
land
there
did
not
seem
to
be
strongly
guarded
.
Bard
,
of
course
,
refused
to
allow
the
dwarves
to
go
straight
on
to
the
Mountain
.
He
was
determined
to
wait
until
the
gold
and
silver
had
been
brought
out
in
exchange
for
the
Arkenstone
:
for
he
did
not
believe
that
this
would
be
done
,
if
once
the
fortress
was
manned
with
so
large
and
warlike
a
company
.
They
had
brought
with
them
a
great
store
of
supplies
;
for
the
dwarves
can
carry
very
heavy
burdens
,
and
nearly
all
of
Dain
's
folks
,
in
spite
of
their
rapid
march
,
bore
huge
packs
on
their
backs
in
addition
to
their
weapons
.
They
would
stand
a
siege
for
weeks
,
and
by
that
time
yet
more
dwarves
might
come
,
and
yet
more
,
for
Thorin
had
many
relatives
.
Also
they
would
be
able
to
reopen
and
guard
some
other
gate
,
so
that
the
besiegers
would
have
to
encircle
the
whole
mountain
;
and
for
that
they
had
not
sufficient
numbers
.
These
were
,
in
fact
,
precisely
their
plans
(
for
the
raven-messengers
had
been
busy
between
Thorin
and
Dain
)
;
but
for
the
moment
the
way
was
barred
,
so
after
angry
words
the
dwarf-messengers
retired
muttering
in
their
beards
.
Bard
then
sent
messengers
at
once
to
the
Gate
;
but
they
found
no
gold
or
payment
.
Arrows
came
forth
as
soon
as
they
were
within
shot
,
and
they
hastened
back
in
dismay
.
In
the
camp
all
was
now
astir
,
as
if
for
battle
;
for
the
dwarves
of
Dain
were
advancing
along
the
eastern
bank
.
"
Fools
!
"
laughed
Bard
,
"
to
come
thus
beneath
the
Mountain
's
arm
!
They
do
not
understand
war
above
ground
,
whatever
they
may
know
of
battle
in
the
mines
.
There
are
many
of
our
archers
and
spearmen
now
hidden
in
the
rocks
upon
their
right
flank
.
Dwarf-mail
may
be
good
,
but
they
will
soon
be
hard
put
to
it
.
Let
us
set
on
them
now
from
both
sides
,
before
they
are
fully
rested
!
"
But
the
Elvenking
said
:
"
Long
will
I
tarry
,
ere
I
begin
this
war
for
gold
.
The
dwarves
can
not
press
us
,
unless
we
will
,
or
do
anything
that
we
can
not
mark
.
Let
us
hope
still
for
something
that
will
bring
reconciliation
.
Our
advantage
in
numbers
will
be
enough
,
if
in
the
end
it
must
come
to
unhappy
blows
.
"
But
he
reckoned
without
the
dwarves
.
The
knowledge
that
the
Arkenstone
was
in
the
hands
of
the
besiegers
burned
in
their
thoughts
;
also
they
guessed
the
hesitation
of
Bard
and
his
friends
,
and
resolved
to
strike
while
they
debated
.
Suddenly
without
a
signal
they
sprang
silently
forward
to
attack
.
Bows
twanged
and
arrows
whistled
;
battle
was
about
to
be
joined
.
Still
more
suddenly
a
darkness
came
on
with
dreadful
swiftness
!
A
black
cloud
hurried
over
the
sky
.
Winter
thunder
on
a
wild
wind
rolled
roaring
up
and
rumbled
in
the
Mountain
,
and
lightning
lit
its
peak
.
And
beneath
the
thunder
another
blackness
could
be
seen
whirling
forward
;
but
it
did
not
come
with
the
wind
,
it
came
from
the
North
,
like
a
vast
cloud
of
birds
,
so
dense
that
no
light
could
be
seen
between
their
wings
.
"
Halt
!
"
cried
Gandalf
,
who
appeared
suddenly
,
and
stood
alone
,
with
arms
uplifted
,
between
the
advancing
dwarves
and
the
ranks
awaiting
them
.
"
Halt
!
"
he
called
in
a
voice
like
thunder
,
and
his
staff
blazed
forth
with
a
flash
like
the
lightning
.
"
Dread
has
come
upon
you
all
!
Alas
!
it
has
come
more
swiftly
than
I
guessed
.
