That they found Thorin Anguirelshield's body the next Morning was no surprise - the surprise was all in the presentation.
The torso was found cloven with a blunt shield, upon which was scratched "If people valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, then we could take it all and nobody would be the wiser". His head they found on a platter, artfully arranged with a fragrant bouquet of herbs, and decorated with roasted dwarven fingers and toes.
It was also no surprise that all of them had dreamed of a delicious meal in the Night.
