Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?
If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
Where do Bilbo and the others get captured by the elves?
They took them to the halls of the Elven King in his hall, a large cave at the edge of Mirkwood. The wood elves of Mirkwood, in the Hobbit, took the thirteen dwarves to their king's halls, where they were locked in by cellars and a magic gate.
Why were the raft men astonished on The Hobbit?
The elves in "The Hobbit" did not know how the dwarves could have travelled there. They thought the barrels were all empty.
What was the name of the last battle called in The Hobbit?
It was the Battle of Five Armies. The armies were the humans, elves and dwarves against the wargs and the goblins.
Who captured the dwarves in The Hobbit Chapter 9?
{| |- | In Chapter 9 of The Hobbit, the dwarves were captured by the elves. They had just escaped from the spiders in the previous chapter and were wandering around the forest. They were hungry and looking for food when they encountered the elves' feasting in the woods. After several failed attempts to 'crash the party' they were all captured, except Bilbo, who used his ring to escape. |}
