As they travel into the forest, they here Gandalf calling after them to stay on the path. Little did the company know that they actually should have payed attention. After a few days, they come to a stream that Beorn had warned them not to touch. They cross using a boat already there, but Bombur falls in and is put into a sleep that lasts for days. The rest of the party is forced to carry him. Hungry and tired this is the last thing they want.One night, they see a flicker of lights in the trees and, ignoring the warnings of Gandalf, they leave the path and move toward the lights. They see food!!!!! However, the moment they burst into the clearing, the lights are snuffed out, and the dwarves and Bilbo can hardly find one another. Soon, Bilbo stops hearing voices and, So tired, leans against a tree to sleep.When Bilbo awakens, his legs are bound with sticky thread and a BIG spider is advancing toward him, he kills the spider and feels much more confident in himself. He then goes in search of the dwarves. To his horror, he finds them all hanging from a tree, tied up in the webs of the many spiders that sit atop the branches. Bilbo throws a few stones at the spiders and then leads them away from the dwarves by yelling. Fortunately, they can't see him (for those who haven't put it together, he's wearing the ring.) so the spiders cannot find him.Having led the spiders away, Bilbo slips back and cuts the dwarves free. The spiders chase the dwarves in pursuit, just when they are about to become spider dinner the spiders suddenly disappear, and the dwarves realizes that they themselves have retreated into one of the clearings used by elves. There, they rest to ponder their next course of action. A moment later, they realize with horror that Thorin is missing.Unknowing to Bilbo and the dwarves, Thorin was taken prisoner by the elves....
