The wizard then brings out an old map of a great mountain and points to a mysterious secret entrance, a door to which Thorin holds the key. Bilbo demands some clarification about the point of the whole expedition. Thorin explains that his grandfather, Thror, mined the mountain shown on the map and discovered a wealth of gold and jewels.
Thror then became King under the Mountain, but his fantastic treasure attracted unwanted attention. The dragon has been guarding the treasure ever since.
Thorin and the dwarves are out to reclaim their rightful inheritance, even though they are unsure of what to do with Smaug when they find him. SparkTeach Teacher's Handbook.

He tells the bearer of the One Ring about everything that had happened in Erebor after the Battle of Five Armies, including that of his cousin Balin's steadfast decision to restore Moria back in the hands of the Dwarves. The deaths of Fili and Kili are a painful blow to all Dwarves, especially because of the honorable manner in which they sacrificed their lives to save their dying leader.
As a tribute to their courage, their mother, Dis — who also happens to be Thorin's sister — is the only dwarf-woman to receive a mention in the story. Interestingly, however, dwarf-women are said to be practically indistinguishable from their male counterparts, having a flowing beard and garbed in very similar clothing.
Bombur is not really interested in the quest, choosing instead to eat, drink, and sleep whenever he gets the chance. He is, indeed, a brave warrior, and becomes a dangerous combatant if really pushed, but his relaxed demeanor often gets him in trouble.
For instance, he gets himself enchanted with a sleep charm, forcing his compatriots to drag his unconscious body along. Nevertheless, it looks like Bombur has a rather cushy life after everything settled down, as Frodo finds out that he had put on so much weight that it required the assistance of multiple people to carry him from one place to another. Four of the Dwarves are confirmed to still be alive during the War of the One Ring, or at least in its initial stages. Bifur and Bofur are probably cloistered away in the Lonely Mountain, preferring to spend time with their riches than go another adventure again.
On the other hand, Dori and Nori may have gotten involved in the Battle of Dale, a major war between the Ereborean Dwarves and the Easterlings allied with Sauron, but there are no tales regarding when or if they died.
In real life, Ajay disguises himself as an academic, mainly writing textbooks for children — who all hate him for making their lives more miserable. He also writes about TV and film, strewing his opinions across the internet to see if people care they don't. By Ajay Aravind Published Aug 24, Suddenly they see what looks like the light of a fire in the distance. They move closer to investigate it, and Bilbo is sent ahead in his first official task as burglar.
As he approaches a clearing in the woods, Bilbo sees three huge trolls sitting around a fire, eating mutton. Trolls will eat just about anything, but they are also short-tempered and dull-witted.
They proceed to fight about how to interrogate Bilbo. The commotion attracts the dwarves, who come to the clearing one at a time. The trolls stop fighting just long enough to hide in the trees and throw a sack over each approaching dwarf.
The trolls decide to cook the dwarves immediately, but then a voice, which sounds like one of the trolls, starts an argument, and the three trolls start fighting again.
This fighting goes on for quite some time until the trolls notice that it is almost dawn. The sun peeks over the horizon and the trolls all freeze—sunlight turns trolls to stone. Gandalf then steps triumphantly into the clearing.
