The goblins put out their torches. They also put on soft shoes rather than noisy boots. And they sent their fastest and smallest goblins to follow them.

The goblins were able to sneak up on the dwarves in The Hobbit because they used secret passages in the Misty Mountains that the dwarves were unaware of. Additionally, the goblins were skilled at moving quickly and quietly through the tunnels, allowing them to surprise the dwarves.

How does Biblo Bagins from The Hobbit get separated from the dwarves?

It occurs on several occasions. In the mountain being chased by the goblins, he falls and is knocked out and the goblins overlook him. In Mirkwood, the spiders capture them and Bilbo has to rescue them. Again, the Elves capture the party and Bilbo escapes, partially due to his small size and his magic ring.


What happened to the dwarf kingdom in The Hobbit?

While in the goblin tunnels, Dori was carrying Bilbo on his back since the hobbit was too small to keep up on his own. As they ran, a group of goblins quietly followed the company of dwarves and, sneaking up from behind, a goblin grabbed Dori by the foot, tripping him and causing him to drop poor Bilbo. The hobbit bumped his head on a rock and blacked out. A fight broke out between the goblins and dwarves, and then Gandalf shouted, "Follow me everybody!" and the dwarves all ran father into the tunnel with the wizard. Bilbo, being unconscious, was unable to follow and was left behind. Later, Gandalf was quite upset with Dori for not picking Bilbo up again, but Dori said in defense, "You shouted 'follow me everybody!' and everybody ought to have followed. We thought everybody had." Meanwhile, Bilbo went on in the tunnel once he gained consciousness, and proceeded to find the Ring and meet Gollum.
