Battle in Erebor

A battle occured in Erebor between Thorin and Company and Smaug after the dwarves came in to save Bilbo and Thorin from the dragon. Thorin and Company attempted to kill Smaug after they saw their people dead at the floor. However, Smaug managed to escape and unleash his vengeance on Lake-town.

History
After Bilbo Baggins stole the Arkenstone, Smaug began attacking him. However, Thorin refused to help Bilbo, but eventually gave in when Balin told him too. He he came in to see Bilbo safe and sound while he didn't know Bilbo had the Arkenstone in one of his pockets. Before they confronted each other, Thorin and Bilbo saw Smaug coming towards them. Luckily, the other dwarves rushed in with their weapons. But they quickly fled before Smaug could kill them.

Thorin later divulged a plan to kill Smaug. He and the remaining company split into four groups (Thorin, Balin, and Bilbo together, Dwalin and Nori, Dori, Ori, and Bombur, and Gloin and Bifur) and lured him to the forges. Smaug faced all four groups at once who managed to outwit him, but Gloin and Bifur nearly were killed when Smaug set the room they were in on fire. Meanwhile, Balin had found the passageway to the forges and instructed to Bilbo and Thorin where the hallway was. However, Thorin separated himself from Balin and Bilbo,Smaug attempted to eat him, but Dwalin and Nori luckily came to his rescue.

After Balin and Dwalin said that their goal could not be accomplished, Thorin tricked smaug. As the forges had not been set on fire for sixty years. Thorin tricked Smaug by firing at the forges, ordering Bomburto get the billows working, instructed Bilbo to release water and telling Balin and the others to create flash flames.

On Thorin's mark, Bilbo then began releasing the water, which shorted out Smaug's fire as the gold molted and ordered Bilbo to run as Smaug attacked. Smaug confronted Bilbo one last time and realized that he was lying. Thorin and company attempted to drown Smaug with the gold, but the dragn managed to escape and unleash his anger on Lake-town.

Aftermath
Smaug was lataer killed during the destruction of Lake-town. However, it eventually led up to the Battle of the Five Armies.
