 Chapter 11 : On The Doorstep



The towns men rowed Bilbo and the Dwarves to the river not so far from the Lonely Mountain, they dropped them off at the shore line and rowed back to town in fear. The party gazed at the abandoned town of Dale. They set camp near the mountain untill Bilbo found the secret door but coundn't open.

Thorin started to mention that autumn is almost over. Suddenly Bilbo heard a snail being cracked by a rock near the door and suddenly he remembered the story Elrond told them where the keyhole reveled on Durin's Day. Bilbo and the Dwarves waited till the sun set to reveal the hidden keyhole. Thorin opend the door with the key Gandalf gave him with the map.
