What happens to Bilbo during the battle?

Answer 1

At the end of chapter 17 of The Hobbit, Bilbo is in the Battle of Five Armies and is just thinking that all hope is lost for the Dwarves and Elves and Men when he sees an army of eagles soaring toward them. Bilbo shouts, "The Eagles! The Eagles!" But then, a stone thrown by a goblin hits his head on the helm, and he falls down and blacks out.

Answer 2

He goes back to living like all the other normal hobbits, in his little hobbit hole at Bag End, Hobbiton. Many of the Shire-folk considered him strange (a bit fanatical, maybe). Hardly any of them had been in his hobbit-hole, he had many odd guests come calling on him (dwarves, wizards and the like) and it was even said that the tunnels of his hole were filled with wild treasure (which is of course, untrue). Nevertheless, Bilbo was a perfectly happy, peaceful-living hobbit.

NOTE: Bilbo has been presumed deceased, and his possessions are being auctioned off when he returns.

Answer 3

Chapter 18 is where Bilbo awakes after the battle. Gandalf summons him to Thorin's death bed and Thorin forgives him. Bilbo gathers his treasure and heads for home. On the way he stops at Beorn's for the Yule celebration.

Answer 4

Bilbo was assumed dead, and some of his shadier relatives were auctioning off his belongings. He had to track them all down to get them back. Some of them he had to pay for, and some of it he never saw again.

Answer 5

bilbo got the gold the dwarves promised, goes back to the shire, and puts the ring he found in the cave he met gollum in on his mantel.

Answer 6

Bilbo stays out of the fighting by putting on his ring. It did not save him completely because an errant rock smashes him on the head and he is knocked unconscious.

Answer 7

Bilbo went from a very conservative and safe life to gaining a sense of adventure.
