The Attack on Lake-town is a skirmish between the Orcs, the Elves, Dwarves, and Bard's family during the Quest of Erebor.
Background[]
After Thorin II Oakenshield and his company leave Lake-town, Fíli, Óin and Bofur stay behind to look after Kíli, who is suffering a terrible illness due to the infection contracted when Bolg shot him with a morgul arrow. The four Dwarves stay in Bard's house until they are attacked by Bolg and his Orcs, who have followed the company's trail. When all seems lost, Tauriel and Legolas arrive in time to save the Dwarves and Bard's children, and engage the Orcs. During the skirmish Legolas kills Fimbul and chases after Bolg while Tauriel stays behind to save Kíli from dying. Legolas fights off against Bolg in a brutal duel, but is savagely beaten and even made to bleed, allowing the Orc leader to escape.
