Josh gulped. Well, this was it. Time for that adventure after all! A part of him wished he'd stayed at home in bed, but it was too late for regrets now. They were coming closer.
'Oy! Throw down your weapons, you vermin!’ one of the men called in a fierce voice.
"Don't listen" Josh said quietly. "There are more of us, and we certainly have the advantage of being more intelligent."
"I wouldn't count on Brass to do any fighting anyway" Hob added in the same undertone.
Quietly all the Hobbits began to take off their bags and packs, and prepare to fight.
"We can beat them" Josh said determinedly.
Without warning the men charged towards them yelling. The fight had begun.
