I do not own anything of J.R.R. Tolkien. All the characters are his. Don't sue me b/c I am a poor college kid.
Bats had been gathering around the Misty Mountains for days. The Goblins were up to something, but the Eagles could not figure out what. It was obvious the Goblins were gathering, but why? Wargs and wolves were also congregating and moving toward the Misty Mountains. The Eagles did not like what they saw.
The Eagles' assumptions were right. The Goblins and the Wargs were up to something. Goblins had come from all over Middle Earth. The Goblins wanted revenge because that old wizard had killed their leader with the sword, Beater. Their great leader was slain. Just thinking about it made their blood boil (and added mist to the mountains). The Goblins also wanted the dragon's treasure. They had gotten news from the Wargs, who got it from the wolves, that Smaug was dead. They had also heard that the Elves, Dwarves, and Men were gathering for war, and Goblins love war.
The Goblins loved war because it meant the chance to kill and eat more than usual. With the amount of people gathering at the Lonely Mountain the goblins would need help. That is why they were allied to the Wargs, for now. All Goblin alliances were brief; never lasting more than a full battle. Sometimes alliances would not last the whole battle. It did not phase the Goblins at all to turn on their allies, as long as they ended up victorious.
Now the goblins would finish preparations for war and move out. They had little time to reach the Lonely Mountain. They did not want anyone to mess with all that dragon treasure, their treasure. It would be a start for what they considered a recompense for their slain king. After this "first payment" they would enslave the people of the Long Lake along with any remaining Dwarves and Elves. They would force the Dwarves to make more weapons and armor for them. The Elves would be entertainment for their new king and the people of the Long Lake would serve as good meals to celebrate their victory. After this battle the Goblins would be feared even more and this seemed to urge them on in preparations.
A few days later the preparations were finished and it was time to march. With the thought of battle urging them on, the Goblins and the Wargs left the Misty Mountains. Every creature along the way avoided the war part, but a few unfortunate ones got caught and eaten. The first destination of the Goblins was to go to Mount Gundabad, the Goblin capital. From there, all of the Goblins would then go to the Lonely Mountain and attack their unsuspecting prey.
So far the Goblins and Wargs had not encountered anyone who would give their position away. The element of surprise was crucial to their plans; without it the battle would be lost. On the winds was the scent of Elves, Dwarves, and Men. They were getting closer and more blood-thirsty.
After meeting up with the Goblins at Mount Gundabad, the complete army of Goblins was ready for war. Among the new additions to the party was a Bodyguard of Bolg. This creature was enormous and near impossible to conquer. Swarms of bats had followed them from the mountain and were flying overhead. They knew that wherever the Goblins went a feast was soon to follow. Closer and closer the war party got. Still their enemies did not see them. All they saw was what appeared to be a storm approaching, but what was really the giant swarm of bats flying above the globins and wargs.
With the sounding of war cries and howls the Goblins and Wargs advanced into battle. As planned their enemies were caught by surprise and had not had time to reinforce much of the mountain. The battle seemed all but won, that is until a strange cloud appeared in the sky and the screeching of many Eagles could be heard.
