01 | 02 | 03 | Page02



Balin is angered that Thorin so callously dismissed their one chance at bargaining with the elves, but Thorin reveals that he has been aware that Bilbo has was tailing them in secret, and Bilbo suddenly appears, having stolen a key to the cells from the wine cellars. Upon freeing them, Bilbo helps the Dwarves to escape by using empty wine barrels, which are sent floating down the river. An Orc captive is spared, to be returned to Mirkwood for interrogation.


Along the way, they are ambushed by Bolg and his Orc party, while the elves pursue the Dwarves to halt their escape. In the ensuing chaos, Kili is shot wounded by a Morgul arrow while attempting to raise the portcullis barring the passage to the river. Legolas and Tauriel are forced to halt their pursuit of the Dwarves in order to end the Orc onslaught, allowing the dwarves and Bilbo to escape.


Meanwhile, Gandalf finally reaches the High Fells, revealed to be a chamber built precariously into the side of a mountain. As Gandalf steps inside, he slips and begins sliding down a slanted chute leading to a bottomless chasm, nearly falling to his death but managing to land on a narrow staircase built into the wall at the base of the chute just in time.


It is immediately clear that the place was neither meant to be found nor left once entered. He sees an iron gate which has been ripped open violently. Gandalf continues his descent down into the darkness nonetheless. He reaches a chamber built into the wall where it is revealed to hold a tomb whose massive stone lid has been broken in two from the inside and now lies empty.


Gandalf is startled by the sudden appearance of Radagast, who questions why they have chosen to meet there. Gandalf reveals that the chamber was designed to hold a being whose name has long been forgotten, and would be known only as a "servant of evil." Gandalf then shines his staff down the chasm to reveal the presence of eight similar chambers, all similarly broken out of by their captors.


The chambers are the prison of the Nazgul, Sauron's most terrible servants. Outside of the High Fells, Gandalf and Radagast discuss the Nazgul's reawakening, and Gandalf asserts that they have been summoned to Dol Goldur by the Necromancer. When Radagast asserts that no human sorcerer could possess such powerful dark magic, Gandalf relays his growing suspicion that the Necromancer is actually Sauron in disguise.


Sauron is still too weak to assume his true form, as the Nazgūl answer only to their one true master. Gandalf then prepares to return to the dwarven company, but Radagast insists that they must investigate Dol Goldur at once. Gandalf counters that the dwarves are in great danger without him, but Radagast reminds him that if Sauron has indeed returned, the entire world is in danger.


Back to the Dwarves: The Company reaches the shores of Long Lake where they are ambushed by Bard, who keeps them at bay after displaying considerable skill with a bow and arrow. The situation is defused when Balin correctly guesses that Bard is a bargeman from Esgaroth, also known as Lake-town where the descendants of Dale made their home.


Mirkwood: The orc captive is questioned by Thranduil. When the orc reveals to Thranduil that "The One" has returned, he quickly decapitates the orc and orders the kingdom to be sealed off to protect it from the impending evil. However, Tauriel leaves to save Kili, who she learns has been poisoned by the orc's arrow, and Legolas reluctantly pursues her once he learns she has left.


Lake-town: The Master of Lake-town rules with an iron fist, a greedy and corrupt man who cares little for the welfare of his people and is especially suspicious of Bard, whom he believes is the leader behind a growing resistance to his rule. Bard manages to sneak the company into Lake-town by smuggling them in fishing barrels, although he is nearly caught by Alfrid, the Master's second-in-command.


Alfrid is suspicious of Bard as he is not licensed to bring in shipments of fish from Mirkwood. After convincing Alfrid to not dump the barrels of fish as morale is low in Lake-town due to dwindling food supplies, Bard sneaks the dwarves into his home. The group attempt to steal weapons before being captured and in the process learn that Bard is a descendant of Dale's ruler, Girion.


Girion died attempting to kill Smaug with Black Arrows. The dwarves are brought before the Master and the rest of the town, where Thorin reveals his identity and his company's quest, and convinces the townfolk and the Master that they will share the riches of the recaptured mountain if they are provided weapons and boats and allowed safe passage to the mountain.


The Master readily agrees, and the adventurers receive a grand send-off. However, Thorin orders the injured Kili to remain behind, causing Fili to insist on staying with him, and Oin, Fili, and Bofur elect to remain to tend him in Bard's house.


Dol Goldur: Reluctantly convinced by Radagast's words, the two return to the entrance to Dol Goldur, where Gandalf orders Radagast to warn Galadriel of their discovery.


Thorin and Company eventualy reach Dale, which Balin reveals has stood in ruins for two hundred years since Smaug's arrival, and that the blasted lands around Erebor have remained uninhabited and become known as the "Desolation of Smaug. The group finally reach the great gates of Erebor, and Bilbo manages to locate a secret stairway built into one of the massive dwarven statues guarding the mountain's entrance.


Once at supposed location of the secret doorway, the dwarves desperately search for the hidden keyhole as the sun begins to set, but are unable to find it before the sun's rays disappear from sight. Utterly disheartened, the dwarves begin to make their way home, but Bilbo stays behind, refusing to give up so easily, and notices a thrush knocking at the wall.


Suddenly, the moon appears and illuminates the secret door, and Bilbo realizes that it was in fact the last moon of autumn that the map spoke of. He calls to the group, who return and successfully open the secret door into the mountain. Once inside, Balin reveals the true purpose for bringing Bilbo along: He is to sneak into Erebor's treasure chamber and steal the Arkenstone without being detected by Smaug.


Dol Goldur: Gandalf draws his sword and enters Dol Goldur alone, chanting incantations to undo the enchantment creating the illusioned that the fortress is abandoned. Suddenly, the enchantment dissipates and Gandalf is caught off guard by Azog.
