Все может быть, конечно, но я искренне надеюсь, что было не так.
К счастью, всё действительно было не так: мечты о золоте не помешали Барду и прочим вначале позаботиться о горожанах.

Meanwhile Bard took the lead, and ordered things as he wished, though always in the Master's name, and he had a hard task to govern the people and direct the preparations for their protection and housing [подчеркнуто мной - Л.]. Probably most of them would have perished in the winter that now hurried after autumn, if help had not been to hand. But help came swiftly; for Bard at once had speedy messengers sent up the river to the Forest to ask the aid of the King of the Elves of the Wood (...) Their plans were soon made. With the women and the children, the old and the unfit, the Master remained behind; and with him were some men of crafts and many skilled elves [подчеркнуто мной - Л.]; and they busied themselves felling trees, and collecting the timber sent down from the Forest. Then they set about raising many huts by the shore against the oncoming winter [подчеркнуто мной - Л.]; and also under the Master's direction they began the planning of a new town, designed more fair and large even than before, but not in the same place. (...) But all the men of arms who were still able, and the most of the Elvenking's array [подчеркнуто мной - Л.], got ready to march north to the Mountain. It was thus that in eleven days from the ruin of the town the head of their host passed the rock-gates at the end of the lake and came into the desolate lands.
