Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit. Now, what is a hobbit, you ask? Well, "Hobbits
             are little people, smaller than" dwarves. They love peace and quiet and
             good tilled earth." A respectable race, hobbits lived for serenity. Bilbo
             himself enjoyed sitting outside, smoking his wooden pipe. Now if a dilemma
             hadn't reared its ugly hear, Baggins would probably still be at his house,
             his worst fear only dealing with messy housekeeping. Such, however is not

             goblins, giant spiders, and elven dugeons. He did this all with the help
             of a Ring, enchanted to make the wearer invisible. "Bless my soul, a hobbit
             CAN be useful!" But usefulness in itself does not a task complete. There
             was still the fact that the dwarf's gold had not been claimed, and Smaug
             still lay in the heart of the mountain. The band of travelers had crossed
             much terrain, hills, mountains, swamps, and gloomy forests, including the
