No one's POV

The Company is resting in the cave; almost all the dwarves are asleep, ash lays curled up asleep aswell.  Bilbo, only pretending to be asleep, stealthily opens his eyes and looks around. Seeing that no one is watching, he quietly rolls up his blankets and packs his things. Grabbing his walking stick, he starts to leave the cave, tiptoeing over the sleeping dwarves.

Bofur, who is standing watch, sees Bilbo trying to leave. He jumps up and tries to stop him. They whisper so as not to wake the others.

"Where do you think you're going?"he asked. "Back to Rivendell." Bilbo replied. "No, no, you can't turn back now, you're part of the Company. You're one of us." Bofur said. "I'm not though, am I? Thorin said I should never have come, and he was right. I'm not a Took, I'm a Baggins, I don't know what I was thinking. I should never have run out my door."Bilbo said. Thorin, who is awake, stares thoughtfully at the wall as he listens.

"You're homesick; I understand." Bofur says kindly, trying to prove to his companion that he understood what he was going through."No, you don't, you don't understand! None of you do ­ you're dwarves. You used to ­ to this life, to living on the road, never settling in one place, not belonging anywhere." Bilbo yelled making the polite dwarf flinch and causing thorin to glare at the wall slightly. Bofur looks offended, and Bilbo is repentant. "I am sorry, I didn't..." Bilbo tried to explain as Thorin listens on.

"No, you're right. We don't belong anywhere. I wish you all the luck in the world. I really do." Body said kindly, causing guilt to fill bilbo's heart. Bofur smiles and places his hand on Bilbo's shoulder; Bilbo soon turns and begins to walk away. "What's that?" Bofur asked curiously, looking at the small blade in Bilbo's sheath.

Bilbo pull his sword partway out of its sheath and sees that it is glowing bright blue, meaning Orcs or goblins are nearby. Thorin raises his head as he hears strange machinery noises and sees cracks form in the sand on the floor of the cave. He jumps up in surprise, accidentally kicking the young elf behind him, causing her to snap awake from the sudden pain. "Wake up. Wake up!" He scr Ames. Before anyone could react, the floor of the cave collapses downwards. The entire Company falls down a chute, slides through a tunnel, and lands in a giant wooden cage. As they struggle to get up, a horde of goblins attacks them, takes away their weapons, and drags them all away. Ash started kicking and screaming as they pulled her headdress out of her quiver, screaming elvish curses at them as the goblins dragging her big there long rotten fingernails into her arm and rip through her sleeves.

the goblin horde brings the company through a vast network of tunnels and wooden bridges to the throne room and platform of the Great Goblin. The Great Goblin is a massive Goblin sitting on a throne, holding a mace topped with a skull. He is far larger than any other goblin, and he is incredibly ugly, with warts all over his swinging chin. The dwarves' weapons are piled together, ash's dumped on top.

The Great Goblin jumps off his throne, trampling several goblins, and approaches the Company. "Who would be so bold as to come armed into my kingdom? Spies? Thieves? Assassins?" He screamed. Ash pulled up her hood and crouches in the middle of the dwarves, in an attempt to blend in.

"Dwarves, Your Malevolence." One of the goblins said. "Dwarves?" He asked. "We found them on the front porch." The small goblin continued. "Well, don't just stand there; search them! Every crack, every crevice." He yelled. The goblins begin to search the dwarves thoroughly, throwing away whatever they find. Oin's hearing trumpet is thrown on the floor and crushed underfoot. One rips ash's hood off her head and stares at her ears, then puts on a sickening smirk as he grabs her wrist and tugs her roughly towards the giant goblin. Ash feels dwalin grab her arm and pull back, trying to keep her close.

"What are you doing in these parts? Speak!" The great goblin yelled. None of the dwarves respond and ash simply growls and she kicks the goblin off, making it yelp. "Well then, if they will not talk, we'll make them squawk! Bring out the Mangler! Bring out the Bone Breaker! Start with the youngest." The Great Goblin yelled as he points at ori, who goes extremely pale. However, Thorin steps forward.  "Wait." He said, in an ordering tone so he would grab the fat goblins attention. "Well, well, well, look who it is. Thorin son of Thrain, son of Thror; King under the Mountain." The Great Goblin said as he bows exaggeratedly to Thorin. "Oh, but I'm forgetting, you don't have a mountain. And you're not a king. Which makes you nobody, really. I know someone who would pay a pretty price for your head. Just the head, nothing attached. Perhaps you know of whom I speak, an old enemy of yours. A Pale Orc astride a White Warg." He continued mockingly. Thorin looks up in surprise and disbelief. Ash leaned on dwalin for supported as she went pale and started hyperventilating. "Las?.. las can you hear me ?.." he asked. She didn't reply and gripped his shoulder tighter.

"Azog the Defiler was destroyed. He was slain in battle long ago." Thorin said.  "So you think his defiling days are done, do you?" The great goblin asked, before laughing, then he turns to a tiny goblin sitting in a basket and holding a slate.

"Send word to the Pale Orc; tell him I have found his prize." He ordered. The tiny goblin writes down the message on his slate; cackling, he then pulls a lever, causing his basket to start sliding down a system of ropes and pulleys into the darkness. dozens of goblins carry massive instruments of torture on their shoulders, bringing them to the Great Goblin. Meanwhile, the Great Goblin is dancing and singing lustily. "Bones will be shattered, necks will be wrung! You'll be beaten and battered, from racks you'll be hung. You will lie down here and never be found, down in the deep of Goblin­town.".

one of the goblins, is examining the weapons the dwarves brought with them. He picks up Thorin's sword, Orcrist, and slides it a few inches out of its sheath. Recognizing the sword, he gasps in horror and throws down the sword. It lands in view of all the goblins. Recognizing it, the goblins howl in fear and rage as they retreat from it; the Great Goblin runs rapidly to his throne, trampling many goblins on his way. He speaks loudly, pointing at the sword. "I know that sword! It is the Goblin­Cleaver, the Biter, the blade that sliced a thousand necks.".

As he speaks, The rest of the Goblins begin whipping the dwarves with ropes and leaping upon them, biting and slashing. They all beat them off as much as the can, dwalin having a protective arm around the young elf beside him who is in the midst of a panic attack.

"Slash them! Beat them! Kill them! Kill them all! Cut off his head!" The great goblin screamed. Goblins hold Thorin down, and one of them pulls out his knife and prepares to behead Him. Ash snaps back back to her senses and looks at thorin. "NO!" She screams.

Suddenly, there is a massive explosion of bright light; the sound goes muted as a shockwave rips through the area, flinging goblins in the air and destroying the torturing machines. Everyone is knocked down, including the Great Goblin. When the force of the explosion has passed, most of the lights in the area have been snuffed out; in the background, a shadow with a tall pointy hat walks up. It is Gandalf, holding his staff and his sword, Glamdring. Light slowly returns to the area as the goblins and the dwarves slowly look up, recovering from the shock. They all stare at Gandalf.

"Take up arms. Fight. Fight!" He yelled. The company quickly get up and begin fighting the goblins. As goblins run at Gandalf, he kills them with his sword and staff. The Great Goblin, still lying on the ground, sees Gandalf's sword and points at it, crying aloud to his goblins "He wields the Foe­Hammer, the Beater, bright as daylight!".

Some of the dwarves reach their pile of weapons and begin tossing the weapons to each other; they use their weapons to defeat the goblins around them. Oin manages to reclaim his hearing trumpet, although it has been quite flattened. Nori, while fighting, lands on the floor; the Great Goblin runs at him and swings his mace.

"Nori!" One of the dwarves screamed. Ash aimed her now at the great goblin. She shot his food, making him stumble, giving thorin time to jump forward and deflects the Great Goblin's blow, causing the Great Goblin to stumble backward and fall off the edge of his platform, falling to the depths below. The rest of the dwarves and Gandalf continue to fight.

"Follow me. Quick! Run!" Gandalf yelled. Cutting down the goblins around them, the company run along a pathway leading away from the throne room. Gandalf and the dwarves are running through the suspended passageways of Goblin Town, with hundreds of goblins running after them. "Quickly!" Gandalf yelled. "Faster!" Balin yells, looking g back at the others. Dwalin sees several goblins running at them from in front. "Post!" He orders, then He and some of the dwarves cut a guardrail post from the side of the path and they hold it out in front of them like a massive spear.

"Charge!" He orders again as He and the other dwarves charge at the oncoming goblins and sweep them away with the long rail. Dropping the rail, Dwalin pulls out his axes and begins knocking aside goblins. The rest of the company do the same. Gloin hits one goblin who falls and lands on another suspended path, breaking the path and dropping all the goblins on it into the darkness below. The rest of the Company also fight the goblins around them with their various weapons and fighting styles. Several goblins snarl as they swing on ropes toward the dwarves. "Cut the ropes!" Thorin yells, nodded at ash. She aimed at the ropes holding a raised platform in place. She fires her arrows and hits them dead on. the platform falls outward, entangling the goblins swinging on the ropes. As Kili fights, several goblins start shooting arrows at him. He deflects some arrows with his sword; he then grabs a nearby ladder and drops it on the oncoming goblins. Kili and some of the other dwarves run forward, pushing the ladder and the goblins it has trapped in front of them. As they approach a missing area of the path, the goblins fall down into the darkness; the ladder, however, acts as a bridge for the dwarves to cross to the rest of the path. As soon as they cross it, Dwalin breaks the ladder, preventing the goblins chasing them from crossing it.

"Quickly!" Gandalf yells again. The company continue running through the maze­like paths; they get on a section of the path suspended by ropes from above. They slice some ropes, and the pathway swings away from the rest of the path, approaching a different path. "Jump!" Ash screamed.  Several of the dwarves manage to jump to the other path; however, before the rest can, the suspended path swings back like a pendulum to where it started, and several goblins leap on. As the path swings back again, the rest of the dwarves, ash and Gandalf manage to jump to the new path as well; they cut the ropes, causing the swinging path and the goblins on it to fall. The dwarves and Gandalf continue running through the tunnels, killing all the goblins in their way. Gandalf strikes a rock above them with his staff, causing the rock to fall down and begin rolling in front of the Company, squashing all the goblins in their way. Soon, they approach a bridge between two walls of the cavern. As they try to cross it, the Great Goblin suddenly breaks through from underneath the bridge and pulls himself up onto the bridge, in front of the Company. As the Company pauses, hundreds of goblins approach them from all sides.

"You thought you could escape me?" He yelled at them. Ash loads her bow with two arrows and aims for his eyes. Yet The Great Goblin swings his mace twice and Gandalf, causing Gandalf to stumble back and almost fall, knocking into as and making her lose grip and fire her arrows into the darkness. "What are you going to do now, wizard?" He asked.

Gandalf leaps forward and strikes the Great Goblin in the eye with his staff. The Great Goblin drops his mace and clutches his face in pain. He screams in pain as Gandalf steps forward and slices the Great Goblin in the belly; the Great Goblin falls to his knees, clutching his belly. "That'll do it." He said, excepting he was defeated. Gandalf again swings his sword and slices the Great Goblin's neck, causing him to fall down dead.

His weight causes the bridge to start shaking; suddenly, the section of the bridge on which the company is standing breaks away from the rest of the bridge and starts sliding down the side of the cavern. The bridge slides at a terrific speed down the cavern's wall, demolishing everything in its way; the dwarves cling on, screaming in terror. Yet ash smiles and screams happily as if she were riding some kind of horse. The bridge slows down and lands at the base of the cavern, breaking apart and burying the dwarves in the timber and wood. Gandalf & ash get up from the pile of wreckage and inspects the rest of the dwarves, who are still stuck in the wreckage.

"Well, that could have been worse." Bofur said optimistically. Suddenly, the heavy corpse of the Great Goblin lands on the wreckage, squishing the dwarves further. They cry out in pain. "You've got to be joking!" Dwalin yells. Ash covers her mouth as she snickers. As the dwarves extricate themselves from the rubble, Kili looks up and sees thousands of goblins running at them. "Gandalf!" He yells in worry, hoping their wizard would do something. "There's too many! We can't fight them." Dealing yelled as he armed himself again.

Ash re loaded her bow, then lowered it and growled. "He's right! We'll run out of arrows before we even hit the 2nd row!" She yelled. "Only one thing will save us: daylight! Come on! Here, on your feet!" Gandalf yelled. The dwarves get up quickly, helping each other out of the rubble, and they run away, following Gandalf. "You better know what your doing, old friend.. I don't fancy dying to goblins" ash muttered as she ran beside the wizard.
