Start of recap...
[Dwalin:] "Oh, get your foot out of my back!"
I snicker slightly at the state the Dwarves are in, Bilbo then runs over and hugs me, "are you OK Calen not hurt are you" he asks like a worried mother.
I laugh "I'm fine Bilbo I stayed out of the way and gandalf did most the work" I say
We then make our way back to the camp.
End of recap...
Third person pov...
It is morning; the dwarves have been freed from the spit and from the sacks.
Gandalf walks to one of the troll statues and thumps it with his staff, with a pleased smile on his face.
[Thorin, to Gandalf:] "Where did you go to, if I may ask?"
[Gandalf:] "To look ahead."
[Thorin:] "What brought you back?"
[Gandalf:] "Looking behind. Nasty business. Still, they are all in one piece."
[Thorin:] "No thanks to your burglar."
[Gandalf:] "He had the nous to play for time. None of the rest of you thought of that."
[Thorin looks repentant. Gandalf and Thorin examine the statues of the trolls.]
[Gandalf:] "They must have come down from the Ettenmoors."
[Thorin:] "Since when do mountain trolls venture this far south?"
[Gandalf:] "Oh, not for an age, not since a darker power ruled these lands."
Gandalf and Thorin look meaningfully at each other.
[Gandalf:] "They could not have moved in daylight."
[Thorin:] "There must be a cave nearby."
With Calen Fili and Kili...
Calen Fili and Kili were all standing by a Troll, Calen smirked as she thought of an idea.
"hey Fi Ki" she said sweetly the Dwarves flinched as they turned to he sweet voice nervously they answered.
"y-yes little elfling" asked Kili, the elfling smirks at their faces "I have an idea, I bet I can climb this stone Troll faster than both of you" she said proudly.
Putting her hands on her hips in a sassy manner, the Dwarves smirked at each other and nodded.
Soon they were ready for their race.
"ready
Steady
GO!"
Screamed calen, she then raced up the Troll before the Dwarves could blink.
"stupid elf power stupid elfling" muttered Kili and filil as they fought each other to climb the Troll.
When Kili and Fili finally got to the head of the Troll, they were sweating and were very tired.
They heard musical laughter from above it was Calen, "I win, I win, I win, I win" she sing over and over again.
Kili and Fili smirked and Calens laugher stopped, "oh no" she whispered before jumping up and dodging Kili and filis hands.
She jumped to anothers Troll and perched on its shoulders, but her door slipped the boots she was wearing weren't very grippy
She felt herself falling "Ahhhh" she screamed attracting the Dwarves attention.
She closed her eyes waiting for the impact which never came instead she landed in someone arms.
"come on little one it's OK your safe" said a soft voice, it was Gandalf he managed to save her.
Slowly she opened her eyes tears were already falling down her scared face, she then buried her head into Gandalfs shoulder not letting him go.
The Dwarfs then left the Trolls and began theire journey again.
The company finds a large cave nearby, and they enter it. It is full of treasure the trolls have been hoarding.
[Nori:] "Oh, what's that stench?!"
[Gandalf:] "It's a troll hoard. Be careful what you touch."
As they enter the cave, Calen was still in Gandalfs arms she didn't want to fall to her death again.
many of the dwarves cough and retch at the pungence Calen holds her nose at the stench Inside, they find piles of gold coins and other treasure in caskets.
[Bofur:] "Seems a shame just to leave it lyin' around. Anyone could take it."
[Gloin:] "Agreed. Nori, get a shovel."
While exploring, Thorin finds two swords covered in cobwebs. Gandalf approaches him with Calen on his back instead of arms.
[Thorin:] "These swords were not made by any troll."
Thorin hands one sword to Gandalf and keeps the other one.
[Gandalf:] "Nor were they made by any smith among men."
Gandalf draws the sword in his hand out of its sheath a few inches, Calen leans closer to see the sword up close
[Gandalf:] "These were forged in Gondolin by the High Elves of the First Age."
Realizing that they are Elven swords, Thorin starts to put his away in disgust, Calen frowns at his disrespect to her Race.
[Gandalf:] "You could not wish for a finer blade."
Reluctantly, Thorin holds on to the sword. He draws it out of its sheath a few inches as well.
Some of the dwarves fill a chest with treasure, then bury it in a hole in the ground. Dwalin looks on in disgust.
[Gloin:] "We're makin' a long term deposit."
[Thorin:] "Let's get out of this foul place. Come on, let's go. Bofur! Gloin! Nori!"
On his way out, Gandalf steps on something metallic. Brushing aside the leaves beneath him with his staff, he finds another sword, and a shorter one next to it, Gandalf exits the cave and heads over to where Bilbo is sitting. He hands Bilbo the sword he just found.
And gives the smaller one to Calen so she has the sword and the dagger thorin gave her,she smiles at him.
"thank you Gandalf" she smiles running he rhand along the blade, it was an Elven sword that was unfinished as it was short
But it was just the right size for a growing Elfling.
Gandalf hands Bilbo a sword.
[Gandalf:] "Here. This is about your size."
[Bilbo:] "I can't take this."
[Gandalf:] "The blade is of Elvish make which means it will glow blue when orcs or goblins are nearby."
[Bilbo:] "I have never used a sword in my life."
[Gandalf:] "And I hope you never have to. But if you do, remember this: true courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one."
[Thorin:] "Something's coming!"
[Bilbo:] "Gandalf-"
[Gandalf:] "Stay together! Hurry now. Arm yourselves."
Bilbo slowly draws his sword and looks at it. He then follows the others, who have run off into the woods.
The Dwarfs all stay close and put Calen in the middle with so she is protected.
The end
So close to rivendell now can't wait to write it!
