A short Note
Since a lot of people have been having troubles understanding the 'barrel thing'. in The HObbit Ch.IX there it talks about the two elves that threw the barrels to the Laketown. One of them is named Galion the other is unknown. ANd it doesn't say where Legolas was when the dwarves escaped. So my creative muse jumped and decided that Legolas would be the unmentionable servant. I just hoped to answer the question of where was Legolas when the 13 dwarves and one hobbit escaped the prison. Just hope this explains and Ch.2 is coming up soon, I hope.
