The Skirmish in Ravenhill was a Non-Canonical Skirmish during the Battle of the Five Armies.
Beginning of the Battle
After Thorin and Company come out of the Lonely Mountain, Thorin and his best warriors (Dwalin, Fili and Kili) went to Ravenhill to seek for Azog. Azog apparently ran from Ravenhill, Dwalin suggested that he escaped. But Thorin did not agree with Dwalin. He ordered Fili and Kili to go to the caves of Ravenhill and seek Azog. When Fili and Kili entered the caves, Goblin Mercenaries arrived and attacked Dwalin and Thorin. The goblins were easily defeated, but in Azog's command center (in the top of Ravenhill) Azog snatched Fili and impaled him with his Blade-Arm, the body of Fili fell to the place were Kili was. Angered, Kili and Thorin went to Azog's command center.

Thorin VS Azog
Azog and Thorin have an duel, Azog swinging his Flail in Thorin and Thorin dodging Azog's swings. In the end Azog hitted the Frozen River with his flail, the ball of the flail was locked in the ice. Azog look at Thorin and and see behind him many Great Eagles led by Radagast and Gwaihir. Thorin picks the ball of the flail and gives it to Azog, The weight of the Orc and the Mace maked the ice break and Azog fell in the Water. As Azog's body drifts away, Thorin follows it and falls for the Orc's trap. Using his blade arm, Azog stabs Thorin's foot and breaks through the ice and impales Thorin using his blade arm. However Thorin, whilst being pinned down then impales the Defiler with Orcrist and then flips him over and impales him again, but this time pushing Orcist even deeper into the Defiler's torso, forcing Orcist to penetrate straight through the icy surface causing Azog to be attached onto the ice, a few seconds later the Defiler then dies, whilst looking into the eyes of his greatest foe.
Final Battle
The Great Eagles arrival was essential to the Elves, Men and Dwarves victory. Because a Gundabad Orc Army arrived at Ravenhill, Azog's plan was to make Thorin and his allies go to Ravenhill and then the Gundabad Army would kill them, but the Gundabad Army was crushed by the Great Eagles and by Beorn (on his bear form).
