Chapters 5 and 6 of the Hobbit

Bilbo wakes up and he is all alone in the darkness. He can't remember what happened so he decides to start searching for his friends. On his search, he comes across a ring and decides keep it. He continues on in hopes of finding them, and comes across the home of Gollum. Gollum sneaks up on Bilbo and scares him. Then he comes up with a deal; if Bilbo can answer all of his riddles and he gets one of Bilbo's wrong, he will show Bilbo the way out of the goblin cave.

They go for awhile, answering each other's riddles with little difficulty. Finally, Bilbo gets stuck and can't think of a riddle. Before Gollum comes out of his boat and eats Bilbo, he asks Gollum what is in his pocket. Gollum can't figure it out and becomes mad, then Bilbo slips on the ring he found and realizes it makes him invisible! This infuriates Gollum even more and he goes off in search of Bilbo and the ring because it was originally his. Gollum goes all the way to the tunnel leading to exit. This gives Bilbo the time to escape.

He meets back with his friends and they continue on their journey. A land slide occurs and throws them off the path and they get lost in the forest. Not too long after they get lost they are attacked by the Wargs. They climb up into the trees for safety, but the goblins come and find them again. Gandalf tries to shake them off, but he can't do much from up in a tree. As it looked like the group would be captured and eaten, the Lord of the Eagles swoops down with other eagles and rescues them. They go to the eagles home and rest up for awhile. Then the eagles drop them somewhere past the Misty Mountains and they continue their journey.
