Journal #13

The town of Esgaroth is still sad because of what happened, but they begin to see the good side. They realize that the treasure is all unguarded, for they thought that Smaug had killed the dwarves. They realize that they can just use some of the treasures wealth to rebuild what was destroyed. Hearing of Smaugs death, an army of elves comes by to help out Esgaroth. When this army, along with the men of Esgaroth, make it to Lonely Mountain, they see that the dwarves are alive and guarding the treasure. Throin claims this is rightfully his and refuses to share, standing by this decision. Bilbo would not mind sharing some of the treasure but he has to side with the dwarves.
