“ On his grave, the Elven King placed Orcrist, the elven sword that Thorin had been confiscated during his imprisonment. It is said in the chants that it always glowed in the dark when enemies approached, and that the Dwarven Fortress could not be attacked unexpectedly. "- The Hobbit - Chapter 18
Orcrist was the sword-sister Glamdring found by Thorin Lécudechesne in a den of trolls , when shipped with the shipping of Erebor . It was identified by Elrond as an ancient blade of Gondolin , thanks to the runes engraved on the blade. Taken in Thorin by the king of the Elves of the forest, Thranduil , the latter placed it on Thorin's tomb, under the Mountain, and it subsequently shone there at the approach of any enemy. Mordeuse was the name the Orcs gave her because she had wreaked havoc in their ranks during the fall of Gondolin. The handle is made of a dragon tooth . Formerly it belonged to Ecthelion , one of the elves lords of Gondolin.
Not one of my normal posts, but:
Who do you think would go hunting for the Company during their travel to Erebor?
Would it be Dwalin?
Bifur?
Would Kili and Fili go out to hunt for the food?
Or would it be Thorins purpose also, to provide for his companions as the leader of the adventure.

I’ve thought overnight about it, and:
I’ve got a lineup (from most often to least often)!!!
1. Gloin (we all know this man makes everything a completion, his game is the best, his wife is the best, his hair is the nicest copper color, his son is the best, we could go on and on) he prides himself on the kill he makes for the company.
2. Bifur I cannot use words to describe how vicious yet clean this dwarrow is with his kills. When Bifur kills an animal, it is left so perfectly, it looks like it’s alive, perfect for cooking and using every bit of the body they need
3. Suprisingly is Dwalin! We know our warrior is a bit rough around the edges all over, but he cares for his fellow kin in a subtle way, such as making sure they eat so they can “Put that food to good use and use your brain for once!”
4. Fili and Kili (cuz they a duo) Kili normally does the killing of Deer and such with his arrow, while Fili will take down physically with a dagger, Fili normally goes for the neck right away, Kili goes for the lungs of what he shoots at when hunting
