Thyri, Daughter of Thrain, Dragonslayer (Book 2)

Orcs Attack/The Company Rescue Bilbo From Smaug

In Laketown, Bard wakes up in a cell. Braga and his soldiers drink and party nearby. Bard rubs his head as he wakes, then jolts upright when he realizes he is in prison. Bofur runs through Laketown, trying to find Kingsfoil. He smells some flowers on a windowsill and rejects them "Na." As he continues running about, Bolg and other orcs spy him from a rooftop. One of his fellow orcs whispers "Khozd ! [Dwarves !]" Bolg growls softly. Bofur finds a pig eating some weeds; he yanks it out of the pig's mouth and examines it, then smiles and turns to get back to Kili. Bolg and his orcs follow on the rooftops. At Bard's house, Sigrid leans over the balcony outside the front door, looking for her father.

She hears a noise and calls out "Da ? Is that you, Da ?" She looks around for her father but doesn't look up and see orcs creeping on the roofs of the neighboring houses. Inside, Oin hears a noise on the roof and looks up. As Sigrid turns to walk back inside, an orc drops on the balcony behind her. She screams and slams the door, but the orc stops it with his sword. Hearing the screams, Bain, Tilda, and the dwarves jump up. Thyri opens her eyes. But her eyes didn't show their natural color, dark brown. They show golden eyes.

As Bofur hurries toward Bard’s house, an orc leaps at him from above. As the orc swings its axe, Bofur falls backward and drops the kingsfoil. At the house, another door opens and orc strides inside. Oin throws a stack of plates at its head, but another orc breaks through the roof and falls into the house. The first orc at the door swings at Sigrid, at she falls backward onto the table benches. She slides under the table and pulls the bench sideways next to her as a shield. Fili grapples with an orc. As another orc falls in through the roof, Tilda throws a plate at it.
