The hobbit battle for middle earth
Bolg arrives and tells him that Legolas and Tauriel followed him to Laketown. At this time, Azog is leading the Dol Guldur Army to Erebor. Legolas, overlooking, warns Bard that others will now look for the Mountain. Bard warns him that the gold is cursed and they will take only what they need to rebuild their lives. In flashback, it's revealed he retrieved the Arkenstone and is hiding it.īard prepares his people for a "march" which Alfrid deduces will be towards Erebor, which compels him to speak of the prospect of treasure. Bilbo, overlooking Thorin working his men to the ground, goes to the main gates, where he recalls his conversation with Smaug. Fili goes down to the Lower Halls where he sees Thorin who, believing his nephews to be dead, speaks to himself of the treasure being "beyond sorrow and grief" when he sees Fili and Kíli and welcomes them.The company reunites before they start looking through the piles of gold for the Arkenstone. The Dwarves arrive at Erebor and find Bilbo, who tries to get them to leave, saying that a sickness lies on the realm and that Thorin has been down the treasure hoard for days. Percy is a witness to Bard's slaying of the dragon, for which he is celebrated by the survivors, with Alfrid declaring him "King Bard." The man is taken aback, and talk of The Master result in a riot during which Alfrid is nearly killed by the mob, until Bard stops them and rallies the men to salvage what they can before finding shelter. Bard arrives with Bain and stops Alfrid from hitting her. Alfrid, having survived the sack, bickers with Hilda, a woman of Laketown, over the distribution of blankets. Kíli gives her his mother's runestone "as a promise" and leaves. Kíli asks Tauriel to come with him, but she is reluctant, especially when Legolas returns and asks her to join him. Bard's daughters look for him among the crowd, while the Dwarves make ready to leave for Erebor. The survivors of Laketown make it to the shore of the Long Lake, with heavy casualties. Meanwhile, Gandalf is still incarcerated in Dol Guldur. The Dwarves see this from Ravenhill and Bilbo says that Smaug is dead. He bids Bain not to turn around and shots the arrow right at Smaug's missing scale, killing the dragon who falls on The Master's barge. Smaug charges them, but Bard spots the mark of Girion's Black Arrow. Bard uses the remains of the bow while setting the black arrow on Bain's shoulder. Smaug taunts him that he is forsaken, just as The Master sees an opportunity to row past the dragon. In passing over the bell-tower, he rips its top, knocks Bard over and nearly causes Bain to fall with the Black Arrow. Thorin, on the other hand, looks back at Erebor.Smaug, having spotted the bowman, lands on the ruins of Laketown (right before the Master's boat, no less) to confront his foe. Meanwhile, the Dwarves on Ravenhill, watch helplessly as Smaug destroys the town, feeling responsible. Bain recalls having hidden the Black Arrow under the Master's statue, which the boat passes, and he goes off to retrieve it and bring it to his father. On the boat, Bain sees his father firing at Smaug, but Tauriel comments that his arrows cannot pierce its hide.

The Master dispenses with Alfrid, throwing him into the river to ease the boat's load. He leaps off of rooftops to the armory to pick up a bow and goes towards the bell-tower.

Meanwhile Bard uses rope to latch onto the Master's boat (and indeed the Master himself) and is able to escape when the pulling causes the wall of the person rips get ripped off. As they flee, Smaug flies overhead and begins attacking the city by burning the town.
