Tevildo has just left Hobbiton.
"Down here!" Tollers barked back at Kuric as the two rescuers hurried down the dark corridor and pushed their way into the small room where the children were huddled together. Tom and Daisy were the first ones to leap to their feet and come barrelling over to where Tollers was standing.

"Are you alright? No one hurt or anything?" the anxious hobbit queried the children as his eyes flitted across the group. The server at the Inn was a familiar figure to them. Daisy nodded and quickly replied, assuring Tollers that, except for a bump or two, none of the children had been hurt.

All faces turned towards the entry where Kuric was just emerging inside the small room. This face was not so familiar, but they could all see that their other rescuer was a dwarf. There was an awkward silence. The hobbit could not clearly see the children's faces, but he was beginning to have some suspicions as to what had happened in the Inn. "Come on now," he tried to reassure them. "We're not so far from the cellar entrance. Just take hands and follow me. With Tollers at the front, the five little ones in the middle, and Kuric at the rear, the hobbit led the wat back to the cellar door and helped them back up into the Inn courtyard.
