Thorgan looked back and saw Lotharn and Pegawen riding hard to catch up. Lotharn he knew would be useful with his bow and probably his twin swords he carried. Pegawen he was not to sure on. Timberlane he knew could take care of himself and as for the two Hobbits, well they seemed to have been doing pretty good. They had not be ones to be left out of the fight. He was proud of the two. Even with out armor they were in the frey and working together to take down Orcs. He was going to have to find some armor for them. Perhaps the Dwarfs had something for them. They were about the same size. But that would be after they rescued Allassiel.<br/><br/>They rode hard after the Orcs and it was plain to see the direction they had traveled. They were not trying to cover their tracks, and any one with a brain could track them. They had turned North and towards the mountains again. One of his men scouting ahead came back and held a hand up. They stopped. "The tracks lead into an indentation in the mountains." he told Thorgon. "It could be a trap, but if memory serves me, there is a number of caves. They may have taken refuge there. We will have to dismount and I would suggest climb up where we can look down upon them. There would be to many of them for us to take on head on."<br/><br/>Thorgan nodded and again they rode on till they came to where the tracks lead into the mountains. Here he had them stop and dismount. "We go by foot now." he said and began climbing up some rocks to get higher and then moved along them as they entered what looked to be some sort of ravine. Each of the five men he brought had come with bows and quivers of arrows along with their swords and shields. A couple of them had thought of bringing rope and that would help get down when they were able to and find Allassiel. Going above would also prevent the Orcs from seeing them coming and they would be able to see them first.
