“Under the Mountain dark and tall, The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall.”<\/p>\n

This weekend, Hall of Fire returns to our chapter-by-chapter discussion of The Hobbit with chapter 15: The Gathering of the Clouds. Be sure to join us in our live chat on Saturday November 12 at the new time of 5pm EST (New York time).<\/p>\n

“And ever so his foes shall fall” … or so the Dwarves think.<\/p>\n

After hearing of Smaug’s demise from a trusted friend, the Dwarves are euphoric, over-taken by treasure-lust. But then cold reality looms — a large force of lakemen and Wood Elves approaches seeking recompense for their loss. an ugly confrontation looms as Thorin & Co turn stubborn.<\/p>\n

With Bard as their leader, how do the lakemen now appear? Should the and Elves have chosen a different approach when they came to parley with the Dwarves?<\/p>\n

What responsibility do the Dwarves owe the two parties? Will Bilbo’s stomach save Thorin and Company once again?<\/p>\n

Join us in our live chat (#thehalloffire on irc.theonering.net) on Saturday November 12 at 5pm EST (New York time) when we’ll examine all these questions and more!<\/p>\n
