Synopsis

With the Back Door discovered and open, Thorin decided to send Bilbo into the mountain, to carry out his job as burglar. Inside the mountain, he put on The Ring and crept deeper into the mountain. He wished he were back home in The Shire. As he descended, he felt it getting hotter until he could hear a deep rumbling snoring of some giant creature. Summoning every ounce of bravery, he continued on until came into the hall of the mountain. There he saw the red-golden dragon Smaug, slumbering on uncounted gems and jewels and gold.

Bilbo was awestruck at the dragon hoard before him. Moving into the hoard, he picked up a large cup, glanced at Smaug above him, and fled back to the dwarves. Thorin was overjoyed at the recovery of the cup, one piece of the treasure of his people. A great rumbling arose from the mountain, reminding the dwarves they were still in the peril of a live dragon.

Smaug had awoken. He smelt a strange air in his domain, and realised the cup was missing. Great was his fury, and he issued from the Front Gate, searched the mountain. The Company were filled with panic, but Bilbo ushered them all inside the Back Door, as the flames of Smaug licked the mountainside and reached the door as they entered. The Company were trapped in the mountain, and spent a sleepless night listening to the fury of the dragon.

At dawn, Smaug retreated to his lair.
