The dwarves managed to escape with barrels, and now they were thriving on the river. But they won't get far because we warned the gatekeepers they had to close the gate.
Soon the dwarves approached the gate, luckily it closed just on time.

As I was chasing the dwarves alongside the river, together with a few soldiers, Legolas, Anariël and Tauriël, we suddenly heard a soft rustle which was immediately followed by a smothered scream. One of the gatekeepers sagged through his legs and fell into the water. A horrible creature appeared from behind the walls of defence, orcs. At once I pulled out my bow and arrow, trying to shoot all the orcs who were now all over the place. As the orcs were coming closer and closer, I put away my bow and arrow and switched over to my daggers. I chopped an orc's head off while, with my other hand, I ripped another orc's chest off. So it went on for a few minutes. Suddenly I heard a male scream from behind me. "Kili!" I turned around and saw it was the young blonde dwarf letting out a call for his brother, who was laying on the ground with an arrow sticking out of his leg. You could clearly see from his face he was in pain. As I turned around an orc was raising his axe over my head, I tried to take a swing with my dagger but I knew it was too late. It was like death was smiling at me as the axe was coming down.
