This marks a significant shift from their relatively safer world outside. Inside the dark and treacherous tunnels, they face immediate peril as they are captured by goblins and their leader. This event signifies a point of no return in their journey, where they must confront and overcome new and escalating challenges. It's a pivotal moment that thrusts them into the heart of their quest and sets the stage for their ongoing adventures and encounters with formidable adversaries.]]> 2023-10-19 14:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/champagnem4/iy679kure3do5rlc/wish/2754691649 westn2026_ https://padlet.com/champagnem4/iy679kure3do5rlc/wish/2756233739 Allies include Bilbo Baggins, the initially hesitant hobbit hero; Gandalf the Grey, a wise and powerful wizard; Thorin Oakenshield, the determined leader of the company of dwarves; and the other 13 dwarves who join Bilbo on the quest. Together, they form a fellowship determined to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug.
The trials they face are numerous, including a perilous encounter with trolls, capture in the treacherous goblin tunnels of the Misty Mountains, and a battle of wits with Gollum in "Riddles in the Dark." The journey is fraught with dangers, from the Misty Mountains' harsh conditions to confrontations with goblins and orcs, led by the relentless Azog the Defiler. And looming above all is the dragon Smaug, the primary enemy, guarding the Lonely Mountain and the treasure the group seeks to recover.]]> 2023-10-20 13:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/champagnem4/iy679kure3do5rlc/wish/2756233739 westn2026_ https://padlet.com/champagnem4/iy679kure3do5rlc/wish/2756244760 The "Supreme Ordeal" takes place when Bilbo, separated from the dwarves, confronts Gollum deep within the goblin-infested tunnels.

Bilbo's survival and the acquisition of the One Ring are at stake during this ordeal. Through clever thinking and courage, Bilbo outwits Gollum, securing the ring and his escape from the tunnels.
