Battle in Erebor

The Battle in Erebor took place in TA 2941 between the dragon Smaug and the Dwarven company led by Thorin II Oakenshield, along with Bilbo Baggins, in an attempt to destroy the dragon once and for all and to retake the Kingdom of Erebor.
== Prelude ==
After Bilbo was chased by Smaug, he took his ring and the Arkenstone quickly before Smaug ran him down. Thorin, after being encouraged by Balin, ran on to save him. He then ran into Bilbo, whom he was relieved to find alive, but he immediately asked where the Arkenstone was. However, Bilbo begged Thorin that Smaug was coming, but Thorin was still persistent on the stone. The hobbit started to leave before Thorin threatened Bilbo at sword-point. All of the sudden, he stopped and looked back to see Smaug advancing towards them, and turned his sword to the dragon. All of the sudden, the other Dwarves come in and protect Thorin and Bilbo before running away from their enemies.

=== Evading Smaug ===
After losing Smaug, Dori believes that they had finally "given [Smaug] the slip", but Dwalin believes otherwise. Bilbo had then asked where they would go next and despite Balin's comments, Thorin goes to lead them to the West guardroom, only to find that the dwarves from Smaug's invasion were dead, leading Thorin to give them a speech on how they would go to kill the dragon. Thorin had them split up into many groups, taking Balin and Bilbo with him. They encounter Smaug, who goes to attack them before being dstracted by Dwalin and Nori's group, then Gloin, and Bifur's and Bombur's, Dori's and Ori's group.
However, Smaug was not delayed for long and attacked Thorin while he told Bilbo to retreat with Balin. Thorin was later saved by Dwalin and Nori from Smaug.
