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.
They took off their shoes and sent their fastest runners. They also put out all their torches.
In "The Hobbit or There and Back Again", the party is traveling through the forest when they hear wolves. They scurry up the surrounding trees and the Wargs rush in. This happens to be their "Meeting Place" with the goblins. The party is trapped in the trees with furious Wargs and Goblins beneath them.
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.
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.
The Dwarves Are Born Again was created in 2011-05.
The dwarves were cheerful because they had finally taken their kingdom of the Lonely Mountain after the great dragon Smaug was defeated by the Lake men. Bilbo was unhappy because when he was back at the shire, he always wished to go back and see the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and wander the paths of Mirkwood.
The Hobbit or There and Back Again.
The Hobbit
Smaug only appeared in the Hobbit, where he was killed and he never appeared again (because he was dead). So smaug was not in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but he was in the Hobbit.
