Thoronmir warns Loudewater off and winds up fighting Bubkur
Thoronmir and the others had ridden as fast as they could to Weathertop, but they were already too late. Veryadan was seriously wounded, and two trolls and several orcs were converging on Aidwain and Osric. Thoronmir slew several orcs with his sword, giving Osric some relief.
"Thank heaven you showed up. We were almost dead!" Osric shouted.
"We figured you could use some help," Thoronmir said.
"AAIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
Thoronmir and Osric turned. A man was standing at the edge of the battle, completely unprotected.
"Hang on!" the ranger shouted. "I'm coming!" Thoronmir charged up toward the man and the orcs that were coming for him as Osric hit one of them with a throwing knife. Thoronmir tackled one from behind and sliced a second orc's head off with his sword. He got up and addressed the newcomer.
"Go back! Now! I'll cover you!" He blocked another orc's attack with his long knife and beat it off with his sword. "Get out of there!"
The orc continued to battle, and Thoronmir knew this was no ordinary orc soldier. He was very sturdily built and his hand had been chopped off and replaced with a hook. The orc swung at Thoronmir with his hook. Thoronmir barely managed to dodge as the orc's hook tore off part of his cloak. The ranger raised his sword and dealt the orc another blow.
