A raven informs Bilbo and the dwarves of Smaug’s death, and they are super happy. However, this doesn't last long, as the raven goes on to to tell of the huge army of humans and elves marching toward them, as well as the suffering of Lake Town’s people. Thorin claims the treasure as his inheritance and plans to fight for it, however, regardless of what the people of Lake Town have suffered.Under Thorin’s orders, the company retreats to the mountain and protects it by building a formidable wall at the main gate. From there, they watch as Bard and elves approach. Bard tells them that he killed Smaug and that Lake Town has been destroyed. He asks that the dwarves be generous in sharing the wealth of the mountain.. Thorin refuses. He feels that he owes the humans nothing since the gold belonged to his people originally. The mountain is declared at war: nothing and no one will be let in or out if elves and men can help it. Bilbo would gladly share the treasure. However, no dwarf questions Thorin, and the hobbit has no say in the dwarves’ decision.
