At first Thorin had blinked and whipped his head around to stare at Serena in shock. He had never been spoken to telepathically before and the last thing he had expected was to hear her voice in his head. Slowly, his mind began to process what she had asked of him and he quickly looked around at the rest of the dwarves, none of them seemed badly hurt, so he nodded in the mage's direction.

"Very well then," the goblin heaved in a loud breath as he stood up, waving his arms in the air. "If they will not talk, then we'll make them squawk! Bring up the Mangler! Bring up the Bone Breaker!" he pointed towards Ori, Kili and Fili. "We'll start with the youngest!"
"Wait!!" Thorin shouted as soon as his nephews were threatened. The goblin king looked at the dwarf prince in surprise.
