This important piece of this adventure starts the journey. This is where the thirteen dwarfs talk with Bilbo Baggins into going with them to the Lonely Mountain. This happens at Bag End, where Bilbo lives.

The Freedom from Trolls

Near the beginning of the journey, Bilbo and the dwarfs are captured by trolls. They were going to get cooked and eaten, but Gandalf stalls them until dawn. In The Hobbit, trolls turn to stone in daylight, so the company moves on from there.

The Goblins

When the fifteen in Thorin's company take shelter in a dry cave from a terrible storm, all but Gandalf are taken by goblins to the Goblin King. When the Goblin King decides to eat the dwarfs and hobbit, Gandalf appears and slays the Goblin King. While escaping from the goblins, Bilbo falls into a dark pit and is left behind. The dwarfs continue to flee from the goblin caves, without realizing that Bilbo is missing.

Riddles for the Ring

After Bilbo's eyes adjust to the darkness in the pit, Bilbo finds a gold ring on the cold floor and pockets it, not caring what it was. He then finds a slimy, disgusting creature named Gollum. Gollum makes a promise to show Bilbo the way out if he can answer riddles that they share back and forth. If Bilbo wins, then he will be shown the way out. If Gollum wins, then Bilbo (though he doesn't know this) will get eaten (Gollum loves raw flesh). Bilbo wins, but Gollum won't leave without "his precious." Gollum can't find it, so he accuses Bilbo. Bilbo puts on the ring he found and finds out that it makes the wearer invisible (seeing that Gollum rushed past him many times). He secretly follows Gollum to the exit and escapes with the ring and with his life.

The Warg Attack

This is a devastating moment in the adventure. Orcs and Wargs (wolf like creatures) attack Thorin and company while they flee from the goblins (this occurred right after the company leaves the goblin caves). Azog (or the pale orc) leads the attack. Thorin realizes Azog as the pale orc who beheaded his father in the battle after Smaug invaded. The Company climbs trees to avoid the attack, but Thorin attacks Azog. Thorin is wounded by the orc and was nearly beheaded. Bilbo tackled the orc who was to kill Thorin, and stands in front of Thorin to protect him. Before the orcs can do anything, the dwarfs and Bilbo are saved by the eagles of the mountains. Because of this event, Thorin grows a deeper connection between himself and Bilbo.

Battle against Mirkwood Spiders

This scene is in Mirkwood, a dark woodland area where the thirteen dwarfs get captured by spiders. Only Bilbo can save them, so he lures the spiders away from his companions. Bilbo sneaks back to the capture scene and uses pure stupidity to save his friends.

Escaping in Barrels
![Picture](/uploads/1/9/3/6/19367279/1366763698.jpg)
In this part of the story, the thirteen dwarfs are trapped in Elvish dungeons. Bilbo finds out about a barrel transportation route, so he frees his friends. He stuffs them into barrels, to carry them out of the Elven lands and closer to The Lonely Mountain. Bilbo himself was not in a barrel, but he was invisible. He grabbed onto a barrel being thrown into the river and floats to Laketown along with the other dwarfs.

Battle at Laketown

This battle is a terrifying battle where Smaug the Dreadful attacks the town Laketown after realizing that the dwarfs got to the mountain using the people of Laketown to help. But thanks to Bard the Bowman, Smaug is defeated and the town saved.

The Battle of the Five Armies

This is the finishing battle at the end of The Hobbit. This battle is where dwarfs, Men, and Elves team up against goblins and wolves. It ends with the victory of the dwarfs, Men, and Elves. This battle concludes the feud between who gets the gold in the Lonely Mountain and brings everything back to what would seem normal.

The Road Home
![Picture](/uploads/1/9/3/6/19367279/1366904199.jpg)
After the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo gets his gold (that he was promised at the beginning of the book in a contract written by Thorin). Bilbo then is accompanied by Gandalf and heads back to the Shire. They meet with Beorn again and travel the entire way back to Bag End, Bilbo's little hole. While he was gone, a lot of Bilbo's things were taken (since most assumed he had died). He did recover much of his things, but he bought most of it again later with some of the gold he received from the Lonely Mountain.
