Changes

The [[hobbit]] [[Bilbo Baggins]] is used to living a quiet and peaceful life. One day the wizard [[Gandalf]] comes to him, who introduces him to a group of thirteen [[Dwarves (Middle-earth)|Dwarves]]: the leader [[Thorin Oakenshield]], his two nephews Fíli and Kíli, Óin, Glóin, Balin, Dwalin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. From them he learns their story: A long time ago their people lived in the [[Erebor |Lonely Mountain]], rich and prosperous, ruled by the ''King under the Mountain'', Thorin's grandfather. But then the [[dragon]] [[Smaug]] came to the Lonely Mountain, killed most of the dwarves, and took their treasures and their home for himself. Years later, Thorin now wants to return to the Lonely Mountain, to reclaim what's rightfully theirs; Gandalf recommended Bilbo to the dwarves as a "Burglar" to take on their quest. Bilbo is confused and adverse to leaving his home, but is later convinced to follow the group.

Gandalf, the dwarves, and Bilbo set out towards the east on their journey to the Lonely Mountain. Along the way they are captured by three trolls, but Gandalf saves them. In the troll's hideout they find some gold and swords, and Gandalf, Thorin, and Bilbo each take one. The group continues to the [[Elf (Middle-earth)|Elven]] city [[Rivendell]], where its master, [[Elrond]], provides them with valuable information.

As the group travels over the [[Misty Mountains]], [[Orc (Middle-earth)|goblins]] attack and capture them, taking them into their caves under the Mountains. Gandalf, who had evaded capture, comes to their rescue, but the group loses Bilbo on their flight. Wandering through the dark, Bilbo stumbles upon a ring, which he puts in his pocket. By an underground lake Bilbo meets the creature [[Gollum]], who offers to show him the way out if he can best him in a game of riddles, otherwise he will eat him. Running out of riddles to ask, Bilbo absentmindedly finds the ring in his pocket and wonders aloud: "What have I got in my pocket?". Gollum, believing it to be a riddle, is unable to answer, and loses the game. But Gollum, angry and unwilling to help, goes off to fetch his "birthday present": a magical ring, which turns its wearer invisible. Unable to find it, he believes Bilbo has it, and chases Bilbo. While running away and falling, the ring slips on Bilbo's finger and he becomes invisible, causing Gollum to run past him towards the way out of the caves. Bilbo realizes both and follows Gollum. When he finds Gollum blocking his way out, he thinks he might have to kill the creature who still cannot see him. But Bilbo has pity on him, and with a great effort manages to jump over Gollum's head, sparing his life and yet managing to save his own. Out of the caves, Bilbo rejoins Gandalf and the dwarves.
