A wicked smile came upon the Goblin King's face as the torture device finally arrived and he began to sing again. However, one of the goblins began to unsheathe Orcrist and shrieked when he realized what sword was before him- causing all goblins gathered to back away in fear.

"I know that sword! It is the Goblin Cleaver! The Biter! The sword that cut a thousand necks!" he cried, then ordered the goblins to kill the company.

"No!" Halien cried as the goblins lunged at them. She felt a wave of anger burning inside her and summoned her fire magik. The goblins surrounding her were burned into ash and blew away in the musky stench of a breeze that sneaked its way through the caverns. The dwarves all looked at her and watched her body become enveloped by a blue flame once more.

'Halien!' Thorin called to her.

'Thorin, I'm fine.' She replied with a soft smile that was instantly replaced by a horrifying glare as she thrust her fists at the goblins who ran at her. She grabbed one by the throat and glared at the Goblin King. "Call them off!" she ordered, crushing the now crisp body of the goblin into dust.

Thorin called out to her again as a goblin came up behind her and hit her with a club. Halien grunted and fell to her knees, the flames around her dying.

'Thorin….' She called, groggy from the hit. Her vision blurred as she searched for her husband. "Thorin, where are you…?" she barely managed to get out.

Thorin tried to reach her, but through the throng of goblins, he could not and ended up getting pinned down by some goblins as one of them tried to cut off his head. "Halien!"

Halien could barely hear or see anything at that point and she felt a cold, icy sensation nipping at her body. She felt the familiarity of her healing magik and the familiarity of Lady Galadriel as if the elven queen of Lorien was pulling her magik through to her. Halien focused on her magik and brought it into herself, trying to heal her head.

"Halien?" Bofur said, seeing her begin to glow with a silver light.

Halien felt her pain go away and her vision cleared and she could no longer feel the grogginess of being hit with the club. Standing, she extinguished her flames, then cried out to Thorin as she saw him pinned down by some goblins, one holding a knife. She tried to use some of her wind magik to push aside the goblins and reach her husband, but as she fell on top of his chest, ready to take the knife in her back, a white blinding light burst forth from the darkness behind the Goblin King and everyone was knocked onto their backs.

Halien looked up and saw Gandalf standing there. "Mithrandir…"

"Take up arms," he said as he overlooked the large number of bodies clumped together. "Fight."

Halien rolled off Thorin's chest and grabbed her sword as Gandalf called for them to fight with more force. At his command, Thorin and the others grabbed their weapons and followed Gandalf, cutting and slashing at their enemies as they fought their way out of the caverns.

Halien and the others ran through the endless maze of wooden bridges, taking out any goblin that got in their way. Gandalf used his staff at one point to knock loose a chunk of rock that he then used to push in front of the company, crushing any goblin fortunate enough for the company to get caught in its path. Halien saw the dwarves use many of the things built by the goblins against them, like a railing and a ladder, and smiled. Even in the heat of battle and escape, they were still incredibly resourceful. She tried to help by throwing fireballs at the goblins and making rocks fall on them, but she mostly had to stick with her sword.

As they go further away from the main horde of goblins and closer to their exit, they were stopped by the Goblin King as he clambered up onto the bridge, blocking their path.

"You thought you could escape me?" he scoffed at them. "What are you going to do now, wizard?" he asked Gandalf, then started swinging his club at him.

"Gandalf!" Halien cried when he fell backward but sighed in relief as the dwarves that caught him pushed him upright and she watched as Gandalf hit the Goblin King with his staff, then slashed at his stomach. He finally finished the Goblin King off, despite the creature's nagging commentary, by slitting his throat. The bridge beneath them broke, though, and they slide down the gap.

The bridge crashed to the ground and Halien rolled off of it, smacking against another rock. Thorin came up to her and made sure that she was OK just as the Goblin King fell on top of the others.

"Oh, you've got to be joking!" Dwalin grunted as he pushed the bridge pieces and the Goblin King off himself and the others.

Kili looked up and saw that the entire horde of goblins was coming straight at them like a waterfall and called out to Gandalf.

Everyone looked and Dwalin said that there were too many of them. Gandalf said their only chance was daylight and so he led them onward to the exit. They weaved through stone halls and finally found the exited and ran out into the daylight. For the moment they were safe.
