Aidwain has been sent to Rivendell. Elven warriors will return with him, along with a small party of Rangers who were also there.
What do you say to 5 rangers and 10 Elves - all with horses? The numbers can be adjusted as wanted.

Can you get us near now to the Ford of Bruinen? It should be evening by the time the river comes in sight. And much like what was in the movie - a forested area giving on to a rocky river's edge with some clear beach along some stretches on the western side. The water is shallow enough, of course, to ford. There should be forest also on the eastern edge.
Situate us just prior to the ford crossing and begin the battle if you wish, or at least sight the Orcs and Trolls as they begin to advance on the companions . . .
As Nuranar said - the Orcs will nearly overwhelm the companions. Then Aidwain and the cavalry should come charging in across the river and drive back the Orcs.
Do we want all their leaders killed? Or should one survive, taking what's left of his little band of marauders back west to recuperate, regroup, and begin their little reign of terror again?
Just a thought.
