Hi this will probably be about the Dwarves so you can skip it if you want.

Start of recap...

[Bilbo:] “Wait...is this the overlook? Gandalf said to meet him here. On no account were we-”

Thorin interrupts him abruptly.

[Thorin:] “Do you see him? We have no time to wait upon the wizard. We’re on our own.”

Thorin turns and walks away.

[Thorin:] “Come.”

The other dwarves follow him; Bilbo looks back at the city, conflicted.

End of recap...

Third person pov...

Thorin stands his sword in the ground and pants. He calls up to the other dwarves, who are all scouring the sides of the Mountain, trying to find the secret entrance.

[Thorin:] “Anything?”

[Dwalin:] “Nothing!”

[Thorin:] “If the map is true, the hidden door lies directly above us.”

Bilbo, walking around, sees a massive statue of a dwarf carved into the side of the mountain.

Looking closely, he notices a set of stairs built into the statue.

[Bilbo:] “Up here!”

[Thorin:] “You have keen eyes, Master Baggins.”

They painstakingly make their way up the steep and treacherous steps and find a little rock-walled clearing in the side of the mountain.

Thorin runs to the clearing.

[Thorin:] “This must be it. The hidden door.”

The remaining dwarves and Bilbo come into the clearing as well.

[Thorin:] “Let all those who doubted us rue this day!”

As Thorin holds up his key, the others cheer.

[Dwalin:] “Right. We have our key, which means that somewhere, there is a keyhole.”

He begins exploring the walls of the clearing with his fingers, looking for a keyhole.

Thorin walks to the edge of the clearing and looks out at the setting sun.

[Thorin:] “The last light of Durin’s Day will shine upon the keyhole.”

Thorin looks at the wall and tries to figure out what the light hitting the wall means.

As the sun gets lower and lower on the horizon and nothing changes on the wall, Thorin begins to get frantic.

[Thorin:] “Nori.”

Nori, who is known as a thief, runs to the wall and begins tapping it in different places with a spoon while holding his ear to a cup held against the wall.
