Without saying so
much as a word, Fili and Kili started knocking the hobbits in the head. They
did not want to injure them, so they hit just as much was needed for the
hobbits to be unconscious. Some hobbits
saw what happened to their friends and ran away in fear, others tried to hit
back at the dwarves. Fili and Kili were fast and effective and never got so
much as a scratch before all hobbits laid on the ground, except for the ones
that had run away. Before the unconscious hobbits had woken up, Fili and Kili
left the tavern. They felt bad that they had had to knock out the hobbits, so
they left some money outside to pay for the mead and to say sorry.
They heard
some rumbling from inside and saw the bartender come out of the tavern. He was
furious. Fili and Kili ran as fast as they could, they did not want to knock
him out more than once. The bartender started to follow, but it was not long
before he couldn't catch up anymore.
