I'm having a thought here....
How much food do they have left? How much of it was lost in the melee? They could probably starve to death as well in the copse unless they got out quickly...which I'm not sure how they will get out at this point.
But it would definitely be a consideration and a worry, I'd think...especially for the hobbitses...
I cannot believe that Lira forgot Falco...bad Lira!
