Chapter 16: A Thief In The Night

 

Thorin keeps looking for the Arkenstone but can not find it. Bilbo decides he must do something. Using the ring Bilbo sneaks away from the mountain and goes the the camp of the lake men. Bilbo gives them the Arkenstone to bargain against Thorin and they are shocked that Bilbo would go against the dwarves to prevent a war. Bilbo leaves the camp but runs into Gandalf who pats him on the back for his braveness. Bilbo then sneaks back to the mountain.
