Why were citizens of Esgaroth furious at their Master? 

• He previously engaged in trade with Smaug 
• He encourages his people to remain peaceful, despite Smaug's onslaught
  
• He attempted to imprison the master bowman shortly before the bowman kills Smaug
  
• He escaped via boat and left his people to fight and die
  

Who rushes to Esgaroth's aid upon hearing news of its destruction? 

• The goblins 
• The wood­ elves 
• Wargs
  
• Elrond
  

According to Thorin, why aren't the people of Esgaroth entitled to a share of the treasure? 

•  They did not endanger themselves in pursuit of it
  
• They had never heard of the treasure until Smaug destroyed their town
  
• Smaug destroyed their town ­­ not the dwarves ­­ so he is not responsible for financially compensating them
  
•  They are not related to Thorin and therefore are not entitled to wealth
