Chapter 1, (an unexpected party), Launches off with a bang shoving 13 dwarves, a hobbit, and a wizard, straight down your throat. Meet Bawlin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Dori Ori, Nori, Bifor, Bofor, Bombur, Filli. Kili, Thorin, (thirteen dwarves), Bilbo, (the hobbit) and Gandalf, (the wizard). Quite a mouthful huh? If you think that’s something than chew on this. One day Bilbo is sitting in comfortable little hobbit hole. He is enjoying his lunch and all the life around him as all hobbits do. In fact Hobbits are very sentimental creatures. They are quiet, shy, have a stereo-type of being plump, and like to dress in bright colors. However, above all, Hobbits do not go on adventures. Bilbo in particular was very respectable for two reasons. 1, he was wealthy. 2, he didn’t go on adventures. However, this little Hobbit has family history of adventures. He had one side of his family called the “Tooks”. yes they were very adventures indeed and had accomplished many things in their day. Remember when I told you about Bilbo enjoying his lunch, ( meal 3 out of 6)? Well, he hears a knock at the door and he walks over and opens it. Thus, the adventure begins. Swinging open the door, Bilbo gazes up at an old friend, Gandalf. Did you notice the vague word up in that sentence. Hobbits are about 4 feet and three inches. Yes I would say they are short. Casually Bilbo greets Gandalf and invites him to blow smoke rings. The wizard has other things in mind. He explains that he wants Bilbo to go on with an adventure with him. Being the Hobbit he is he scoffs at the idea. Desperately trying to get out of the situation that was thrust upon him, Bilbo invites Gandalf to tea (on Wednesday), turns around, and slams the door on Gandalf’s face. In return, Gandalf scratches a sign on Bilbo’s beautiful green door with his staff, and strolls away. The next day Bilbo hears a knock at the door. Startled, he rushes to door to open it to not Gandalf, but a Dwarf. “Dwalin, at your service.” A very bewildered Bilbo then witnesses 12 more dwarves march into his house. Finally Gandalf arrives. At this point the dwarves are as just confused as Bilbo. They had expected to come the house of the “burglar”. The tough quick thinking hero. Their eyes had to adjust to what they were presented, so much that they would have sworn that they came to the wrong house if it wasn’t for the insignia. The hungry dwarves want food so it is Bilbo’s job to feed them .Thorin (the leader) then presents the situation. The Dwarves are on a mission to get back to their homelands and win back the treasure that was taken from them 100’s of years before. This gigantic mountain of treasure is guarded by the wicked dragon, Smaug. They are asking Bilbo to confront a dragon. No he doesn’t faint. He asks what he will get out of this adventure and what reward he will get. The answer is a hefty supply of gold and jewels. Bilbo being a nature loving Hobbit, does not care much for gold and does not intend to go on the adventure. Being coerced by the dwarves, Bilbo begins his long , treacherous adventure .............Event 2. Now that Bilbo has begun his adventure, there are perils to be faced, Goblins to be killed, and Dragons to be slaughtered. However, in this case, you are about to witness a much uglier foe. The dwarves have been marching for days, and their food supply is running dangerously low. To make matters worse, it had been raining and everyone was soaked to the bone. Beards dripping, the soggy dwarves grumpily sit on their ponies as they slide through the mud. Bilbo holds himself for warmth as the rain drops that seem like icicles splatter onto him. Everyone is utterly miserable and the dwarves are in a state where they could start to regret their little treasure hunt. Everything is faded, dark and dreary, and Bilbo is not sure how much more he can take. Suddenly, through the trees and out of the blue (literally), Bilbo’s keen young eyes spot a faded red glow. Merely a speck of hungry flame in dark gloomy mist that surrounds them. Bewildered, the group creeps closer. It is time for Bilbo to prove himself. Eyes shining with hunger, the Burglar moves towards the eerie shadowed light. What struck his eyes next would have made any normal hobbit cower down and whimper in fear. Ripping into a stick of mutton, a large hairy man with a squinty pig-like face messily smears his sleeve over his mouth. He is a troll. His name is William. Unfortunately there are 2 other equally foul and evil creatures with him. Their names are and Bert and Tom. They are all in a heated argument because of the location that there in. No villages = no people= no man flesh. As the carnivores are complaining, Bilbo observing the situation, goes in to investigate. At this point Bilbo is insanely nervous and does not want to go back to his group with nothing at all. Mustering up his courage he attempts to pick William’s pocket. Delicately he gingerly pulls out the trolls purse which is the size of a hand bag to him. Just as Bilbo begins to grin and think “hey, this isn’t so hard after all”, a voice inside the purse squeaks, “ ’Eeer ’oo are you? Bilbo nearly jumps out of his skin as William like a hurricane whips around and scoops him up, letting him dangle from the air from his neck. William calls the other trolls over and they ask questions like, what are you,? and more importantly, can we eat him? Terrified, Bilbo squeaks out “Bilbo Baggins a burra- hobbit.” Altogether confused, the drunken trolls fight over who will get to keep Bilbo and soon are clobbering each other over the head. Bilbo is suffocating under the hairy mess and is considering weather he will make it out of the trolls fight alive. Amidst the confusion Balin strolls into the light. The trolls stop dread in their tracks. Only for a second though. Before or Balin knows what is going on, a sack is thrown over his head and he is down. Suspecting that there are more dwarves to come, the trolls creep into the trees, cloaked by darkness. Soon there are 12 plump sacs on the ground, waiting to be devoured. More cautiously, Thorin creeps towards campfire seeing the 12 pairs legs dangling out of sacs. Bilbo warns him that there are trolls hiding in the bushes. Catching the Trolls off guard, Thorin rushes forward, grabs a branch, heaves it up and brings it down on Bert’s head with a shattering crack. However he is soon overwhelmed and put in a sack. Just then the Trolls were deciding whether to roast them, cut them up, or to just sit on them until the fat splattered out of them. Of course, at the moment, Gandalf is no where insight. Typical. Where is a Wizard when you need him? Soon for the Trolls decisions turn into arguments, and they keep procrastinating on how to eat the dwarves. After hours and hours of heated arguments, something unexpected happens, The sun comes up. You may think, “so, the sun comes up every day.” Here’s the thing about trolls. Once daylight hits their hairy unforgiving carcasses, They turn to stone. A lion doesn’t come along and breath on them either, they stay like that. Any way, as it happens it was GANDALF who was distracting the trolls. He was impersonating them and kept them fighting. The dwarves are unbound, and saved from being the trolls next meal. The dwarves salvage what they can of the trolls supplies, and find the trolls cave. However they needed to have a key to get in. Everyone is frustrated and tired from trying to break into the trolls cave. Innocently, Bilbo pulls a key out of his pocket and says, would this work? Well they got in and stole more food, as well as two swords. Gagging, the Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarves stagger out of the cave to flee from the smell of decaying flesh. From there, they will try to make their way through the treacherous misty mountains. But they need to make a stop first. ..................Event 3. After the little melee with the trolls, Bilbo and his companions head for the house of Elrond, where they will find aid. As they enter into the town of the elves, they are greeted warmly. However, at this point the dwarves are not very fond of the merry making elves and think they are quite foolish and giddy. The happy elves in return, tease the dwarves about their excessively long beards. The elves offer them dinner but the group is in a hurry to make their way to the last homely house. Elrond’s house. When they make it there Elrond gives them food, a place to stay for the night, and the explanation of the map that they brought along. It turns out that the sword they salvaged had a history of it’s own. This sword is called the orcorist. It had slain many goblins in it’s time. Of course right now that is not important, but in the next event it will come into play..........Event 4. This is the most important event in the book . This event will feed into all the other events in the book, changing the whole course of the book. So, here we go. Once again the dwarves are on their not- so -surefooted ponies traveling up the rickety stony misty mountains. there is a unsettling shroud of are darkness all around them. Coming down in Billowing sheets, Bilbo and the dwarves’ pastime enemy the rain comes pouring down like a mad hail of angry arrows. Like blade of serrated fiery blue light, rains companion lightning flashes through black sky. Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarves look down at the valley below to see gigantic stone giants hurling rocks through the air. At the moment they are going to be either obliterated by a stray rock, or sizzled over by a flash of lightning. At all costs they must find shelter. Filli and Kili, the youngest of the near millennium year dwarves, are sent out to find a suitable place to stay. After a little while they come back, telling the others that they have found a cave. Suspicious , Gandalf asks if the cave was unoccupied. They check the dwelling out. It is empty and they gladly start a small fire, glad to be away from the chaos outside. Soon everyone drifts off to sleep, not suspecting a thing. That night Bilbo had horrific dreams. A ever widening crack formed in the back wall, haunting him. His eyes snap open. His dreams were coming true! Just as the last pony went through the crack Bilbo shouted in surprise. In a rush The goblins overwhelmed them faster then the lightning they had seen earlier. Everyone except Gandalf. He held up his wand with an electrifying flash killing several goblins right there on the spot. Bilbo and the dwarves are being held captives by the goblins. They are taken to see the great goblin. Angry, the great goblin questions what the dwarves were doing in the mountains at all. Braving up, Thorin spouts a lie about what they were doing clearer to see through then glass. The great Goblin shows the other Goblins the orcorist. They howl with anger. Enraged, The Great Goblin rushes at Thorin, intending to kill him. Suddenly the lights went out. A sword blazing in it’s fiery light impales the great Goblin. He falls over dead. Once again Gandalf saves them. He leads them through tunnels escaping the angry goblins. Or so they thought. The goblins had slipped on their quiet shoes and were in a silent pursuit. At the moment Bilbo was being carried. Out of no where from behind Dori, carrying Bilbo, was grabbed from behind and taken down. Bilbo flew off Dori’s back hitting his head on a rock. The black world completely engulfed him. When he woke up he was completely alone. He crawled along blindly groping for a solid holding. He finds a cold piece of metal. Nonchalantly he puts it in his pocket, musters his endurance, and goes on. After hours walking like an animal, his hand dips into icy murky water. Bilbo cannot go further for he cannot swim. Through unblinking, pale, moonlike eyes, Gollum stared at the his prey wallowing in his despair Now Gollum was a small miserable creature, and had lived under the mountain for years. Whatever he saw beside the bank of his lake, was most certainty not a Goblin. Crawling into his boat he rowed across the lake where he met Bilbo. As Gollum stepped off his boat, Bilbo instinctively takes a step back. This thing was hideous! In an eerie voice Gollum speaks to Bilbo while at the same time speaking to himself. He proposes to Bilbo a game. The stakes are skyscraper high. If Bilbo wins Gollum’s riddle game supposedly he will be shown the way out. If he loses he will become Gollum’s next meal. Long disturbing story short Bilbo wins. However he cheated. He asked Gollum “what is in my pockets. Of course Gollum didn’t have the faintest idea what was in Bilbo’s pockets. Cheating in a riddle game for you life. Not a bad bargain. So Gollum leaves to supposedly get some things that will help them find their way out. In reality hungry Gollum is planning to murder Bilbo. Suddenly in the distance Bilbo hears a shriek of distress. Gollum is screaming about something he lost. Bilbo watches rows his boat to shore and makes a bee line in Bilbo’s direction. Bilbo turns tail and runs away. Putting his hand in his pocket he grips the cold piece of metal sliding it onto his finger. Suddenly he trips on a stray root flailing and falling flat on his face. He expects to feel the cold slimy hands around his throat but instead he sees Gollum pass him not even breaking speed. Bewildered, Bilbo follows Gollum. Through columns of forked twists and turns Gollum sits down in front of the exit. Seemingly he is staring right through Bilbo. Bilbo realizes that he must have found a magic ring of sorts. Waiting for the right time Bilbo jumps over Gollum and a fantastic leap sprinting to freedom. Gollum moans in despair because he has lost the only thing in the world that had any value to him at all. Chest heaving and out of breath, Bilbo slips off his ring and walks into the front gate where he confronts about 30 goblin guards. He is soon spotted and rushed by the blood thirsty Goblins. Right before their eyes he vanishes into thin air. Dodging goblin guards here and there, Bilbo rushes for the exit. He gets stuck in the doorway! A goblin sees his shadow on the wall. They attack him! Almost having a heart attack Bilbo with a desperate push squeezes through the double doors letting the buttons on his coat spray everywhere. He runs down the steps and goes into the wooded area where he is safe. The next event is a different story.........Event 5. With his ring on Bilbo sneaks around and hears voices very close by. With delight he runs over to his friends to realize that they cannot see him. Balin is standing in front of him, looking through him just as Gollum did. He thinks well, maybe I’ll give them a little surprise. As the dwarves are squabbling over who’s fault it was that Bilbo was dead and such Bilbo slips off his ring and jumps out of a bush, making them all practically jump out of their skin. Everyone is glad to see him alive and well and are quite bemused as to how he got past Balin’s watchful eyes. Well, Bilbo told them everything about his adventure under the mountain. All except one thing. The ring. He left that obscure but vital detail out. He couldn’t tell them, not just yet. After this they start on their long journey towards their next destination, Mirkwood. Getting to a mountain over a valley Bilbo and his companions slide down the mountain creating a huge ruckus with landslides and such. AS they are heading through the valley characterized by many trees, they hear a deathly howl. Little did they know that they had just landed In the meeting place of the goblins and wild Wargs. With their blood red eyes glowing fiercely the evil wolves bound down the hill looking for their next meal. Terrified, the dwarves scramble up trees faster than the lightning they had faced a couple days before. The only one that could not shimmy up a tree was the burglar. Bilbo. Franticly waving his arms he begs the dwarves for ride up. Just as the Wargs are upon him he clears the lowest branch with the help of Dori. The wolves snap at the dwarves hungrily licking their lips. The dwarves Bilbo’s pastime enemies come marching in for the meeting. The goblins are now here. They are planning to chop down the trees with the dwarves in them, letting them fall prey for the Wargs. Thinking quickly, Gandalf sprays down a fiery blast, scorching a Warg in the intense inferno. The Warg yelps and brushes up on other Wargs setting them ablaze also. Unfortunately their plan backfires when the trees catch on fire. Tough luck, right? Bilbo can feel his skin singe and is being suffocated by the smoke that is pouring down. Miles above flying high, the lord of the eagles spots trouble far below. He zooms down to investigate finding his enemies the goblins and Wargs surrounding Bilbo and his friends. Right as Our heroes are about to be engulfed in fiery flam Gandalf held his wand up preparing a powerful blast the eagles swoop down and take them high into the air for safety, The angry goblins hurl their spears in vain, experiencing disappointment. For Bilbo this was a living nightmare. His little ladder climbing fears escalated to thousands of feet in the air. The fact that he was grabbing onto Dori’s swinging legs didn’t help either. Finally they are safe in the eagles high perches and caves. Sincerely , Gandalf ,Bilbo and the dwarves thank the eagles for saving their lives and get a ride in the direction of Mirkwood, where they will meet an acquaintance of Gandalf’s.
