Thoronmir had just gotten back to the settlement when the hillmen attacked. He and Awyrgan drew their weapons and tried to regroup with the others. Thoronmir gave orders to get the settlers out as quickly as possible. He and Awyrgan faced off against a giant of a man, whom they had encountered for. The two charged at him together, but mor hillmen arrived at split the two of them up. Thoronmir soon found himself trapped by several hillmen. There was no way out.

Thoronmir cut several men down with his sword while parrying blows with his long knife, but was driven further and further back. These men fought even harder than the forces of Mordor he had encountered at the Pellennor Fields, he noticed. He was about to give up hope when suddenly realized that he was backing into the still flaming remains of the town hall. He siezed a burning piece of wood from the remains and hurled it at the nearest man. The flames spread, and the men hesitated somewhat. Thoronmir bolted through a newly created opening, still slashing at the hillmen with his sword, but one of their spears pierced his left shoulder. He turned and ran the attacker through with his sword, then continued to try to get bck to the rest of the Rangers.

As he ran past the flaming ruins of another building, he realized that he may have made a grave mistake. There were definitely more hillmen than he had thought. He got to the stable, where many horses, including his own Brandir, were being saddled. Thoronmir mounted his horse and resumed the battle. At least this way he would have the advantage of speed.

Thoronmir entered the battle and again the same man stood facing him.
"Come on, Ranger, you ain't scared of me, are yuh?" the man taunted him.
Thoronmir charged at him, sword pointed directly at the man's heart.
"This is for Thorgil," he said
