Me and the rest followed the human to a biggish wooden boat were he began rolling the barrels on and noticed the arrow punchers in the barrels.

"I'm guessing these barrels have seen better days?" he asked Thorin but before Thorin could snipe back Balin spoke up.

"we were just wondering for a trip to River city" the human looked at him almost thinking about it when he saw me glaring at him with a 'don't forget you almost killed me' look on. He then nodded and we all climbed aboard after I had paid for the trip I stood near the edge and watched the ocean travel past us just dodging rocks and blunt objects.

"okay into the barrels" the human ordered us. We climbed in and stayed very silent Bilbo looked out a small hole and spied the human talking to a fish munger.

"now he's pointing over here!" Bilbo exclaimed I listened to the dwarfs becoming worried but was soon silenced because the barrels were soon filled with smelly fish. I smelled the foul smell until the barrel I was in was dragged to the side and was slowly poured over the side I clung to the barrel praying to stay in when suddenly the barrel was stood back up and placed next to the others. I heard gates shutting behind us then all of our barrels were tipped out and I fell on my back on rough wood.

We followed the human to a shack with a set of ladders going up. As I entered I saw a young girl maybe a bit older then me and a boy who was the same age as me were sitting down on the tall seats but stood up when seeing us. The human offered us the place to rest which I would of happily took but my father wanted to set off straight away so I reluctantly agreed. That night we snuck out of the house and because I was the only one with weapons we snuck into the armoury and began gathering weapons but the last one made the pile fall over and clatter on the floor. Soon we were cornered by guards from all angles we were pushed to the main building and were brought to the leader man of the city. Thorin stood forward and spoke to the leader.

"all we are doing is trying to our homeland and with the wealth we reclaim your city will become rich" the crowed cheered as they wanted the wealth and sent us away with weapons food and every essentials.
