Who captured the dwarves in The Hobbit Chapter 9?

Answer 1

{| |- | 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. |}
