A Thief in the Night
How does Bilbo leave the mountain without being caught? What is Bilbo’s plane to avoid war? Is it a good plan?
He uses his ring to safely leave the mountain. His plan to avoid war is to give Bard the Arkenstone so he doesn’t need to participate in the war. I think the plan is clever but I don’t think it is the best plan and that there are other ways of avoiding war.
What old friends does Bilbo meet in the camp?
Bilbo meets his old friend, Gandalf in the camp.
