Title: The Battle for the Mountain
Author : fredbassett

Characters : Dwalin, Dáin Ironfoot, King Brand of Dale

Spoilers : None
Summary : The battle ends; the siege begins.

“Now!” Dwalin cried.

Axes cut through ropes and with a great rumble, rocks rained down on the Easterlings, crushing skulls and breaking limbs.

The men of Dale who had taken refuge in the stronghold let fly their arrows.

The attackers fell back in disarray.

Below, in the quiet, deep places of the mountain’s cold heart, the bodies of Dáin Ironfoot and his friend and ally King Brand were laid reverently to rest, covered in fine silk.

The battle before the mountain had ended.

The siege had now begun.

Yet while the great Gate of Erebor held, no enemy could prevail.

Nice — always interesting to see snippets of everything else that was going on while Frodo et al were doing their thing down Mordor way :)
