Astarielle had found herself isolater near the end of the wall. In the heat of battle she had targeted leaders of the Uruks and therefore moved steadily further away from the company. She reached behind to draw another arrow to slay a particularly large Uruk to her left, but there was none left.

Looking around she caught sight of a number of spear shafts. She ran over and grabbed some. Quickly she cut them into pieces and sharped there ends to make stakes. Astarielle thought to herself, "Who thought Elves aren't resourceful?". Smiling she loosed a number of stakes at the Uruks. Soon enough her quiver was empty so she rushed back to the main bulk of the company.

"Good to see that you are all still alive, if any good does come out of war." she said calmly.

The Uruks were approaching fast marching forward unheading the falling bodies of their kind. Near the rear of the enemy Astarielle could see two cloaked figures on horse back.

"Who wants to come and kill Kaldon. I have a plan!"

Quickly she rushed to find Bali who was on the wall. "Bali, are there any other exits to Erebor other than the main gate. For if a small group were to get out underground or by some other means unnoticed, we could circle around and attack Kaldon and his father without them noticing. Then to get back quickly, as no doubt we would have alerted the Uruks we could prehaps steal there horses, ride back and re-enter the mountain by the same way we got out" said Astarielle urgently. "What do you think of my plan and would you like to join us if you see fit?"
