Thorin is a rather limited commander, but one hell of a fighter...

However, their rejoicing is short-lived, as the raven goes on to describe the huge army of humans and elves marching toward them, as well as the suffering of Lake Town’s people, who surely deserve some share of the massive treasure in the mountain.
Thorin regards the treasure as his inheritance and plans to fight for it, however, regardless of what the people of Lake Town have suffered.
Bard is kind and reasonable, presenting the demands of the men and the elves as politely as possible to Thorin and asking only for what is needed to rebuild Lake Town and help alleviate his people’s suffering.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Orcrist
The sword of Thorin Oakenshield, discovered by him in a troll-hoard on his journey to Erebor, and buried with him after his death in the Battle of Five Armies.
We are told there that Orcrist '...lay now upon the breast of Thorin...' (The Fellowship of the Ring II 3, The Ring Goes South).
This seems to suggest that the sword was actually placed within Thorin's tomb, and not just placed on it, though this text is admittedly ambiguous.

Gandalf was the one who pushed the idea into Thorin to go back, and without his aide they wouldn't have made it past the trolls.
Thorin was probably under 4.5' tall, I would figure a legendary sword of Gondolin made in the First Age for "Elves of the West" would be close to 48" overall length...even figuring 42" it would be as high as Thorin's chin.
Gandalf tells that Thorin was always thinking of revenge on Smaug, but only in dwarven ways: Battles, bright armor and sharp axes.
