They all set off on an epic journey to return to the Lonely Mountain and the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. After surviving the start of their unexpected journey, the company continues East and along the way meet the shapeshifter Beorn. While in Mirkwood Forest, which is full of dangers, they're halted by a group of Giant Spiders. When they manage to escape from the captivity of dangerous forest elves, they continue to Lake-town and eventually to Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger – Smaug.
