Thorgan looked around for Allassiel but did not see her. He saw the battle ax that she had used and ran to it. No blood so she had not been wounded or killed. He looked around and could see nothing of her. He called out her name again and again, cursing that he had not had someone watching her. The Orcs were running leaving their dead and wounded. His men and the Dwarfs were making sure they did not live. Nowhere could he find any thing but the battle ax. Then as he looked further where the ax was he found the dart. "Bastards!" he yelled. "A horse, get me a horse! he yelled. One of his men brought him one that no longer had a rider. "I need five men to go with me." To a man the company presented themselves. "I only need five." he pointed to five he knew by name. "The rest of you return to the fortress and help hold it." He mounted up and was joined by Timberlane and Merry and Pippen.<br/><br/>"You won't shake us loose Thorgan." Timberlane told him. Thorgan looked at the three, shaking his head. "Lotharn and Pegawen should be here shortly as well. We started together and we will finish together."<br/><br/>Back at the fortress Lotharn came down and found Pegawen. "They can do this. We must go. Thorgan is yelling for a horses and Allassiel is no where to be seen. I think the Orcs some how managed to take her. Thorgan is more then likely going after her and I am going with him. I think Timberlane and the Hobbits have already saddled up and are moving out to join him.<br/><br/>When he saw the last two of their group riding towards him he headed in the direction the Orcs had taken. They would find them and Allassiel, and he would finish what he started. He would kill Rakothûrz. If he hurt Allassiel, he would make him suffer more then any thing he had endured to change him, before he killed him.
