When they arrived at the Lonely Mountain, they were surprised to find Thorin Oakenshield and his company of Dwarves still alive. Then, Bard and the Elvenking led their forces to the Lonely Mountain, seeking a share of the treasure. Bard took charge of organizing shelter and aid for the refugees and sent messages to the Elvenking of Mirkwood asking for help. The people wanted him to be their King, but he said he would continue to serve the Master of Lake-town for the time being.
īard escaped into the lake and swam ashore.
Bard fired his Black Arrow and struck the hollow by Smaug's left breast and the dragon fell from the sky, landing on Lake-town and destroying it. The bird told him of the weak spot in Smaug's armor that Bilbo Baggins had discovered. Because Bard was of the race of Dale, he was able to understand the thrush's words. He was down to his last arrow when a thrush came and perched over his shoulder. Bard himself fired many arrows with his great yew bow. In TA 2941, when Smaug emerged from the Lonely Mountain and attacked Lake-town, Bard, as captain of a company of town archers, was encouraging the archers and urging the town Master to order them to fight to the last arrow. Bard was descended from Lord Girion of Dale, whose wife and child had escaped to Lake-town when Smaug ruined Dale and took the Lonely Mountain in TA 2770.
