Bilbo's involvement begin with Gandalf' goading his acceptance to destroy
the dragon, Smaug, at his lair in Lonely Mountain. When in goblin town, Bilbo
stumbled into an underground cavern and he found a ring. Unknown to Bilbo,
this ring belonged to Gollum. After a game of riddles, Bilbo managed to escape
Gollum's lair, and find his party again. He also flushed Smaug out of his
lair, which eventually led to Smaug's destruction. Bilbo returned home after
his quest, and did not do anything important until his 111th birthday, when
he had an enormous party. In front of 144 select guests, he disappeared; then
he departed the Shire forever, living in the elf’s village for the rest of
his life.
