The crazy retreat continues around the long, wide curve of the stair as fast as the Dwarfs' legs will carry them!
Legandir is far enough ahead (some 30 or 40 yards) of the pursuit to hail Soval and his company of fighting Men (who are another 30 yards down the stair), and they hastily prepare a defense 20 yards inside the West Gate.
Meanwhile, the rabid Trolls reach and claw at the backs of the Dwarves as they flee (1-3 Sili, 4-6 Norin; 1d6=5) and now Norin is in peril after delaying half a moment to help Sili back onto his feet after his fall, (1d20=5) but he is nimble enough to evade the blow as he runs.
Lomeluin and Elindir are ahead of the Dwarves, and now Lomeluin sees the Trolls run in a single, ragged file beyond his allies, and he lets fly over their heads at the enemy further up the stair (1d20=2) but alas, he missteps upon a broken Orc skeleton on the stair and his shot goes wayward. His arrow deflects harmlessly off the second Troll's scaled shoulder and tumbles into the dark behind them...

Lomeluin has 18 arrows remaining.
