They did not take Gandalf's and Beorn's advice to STAY ON THE PATH while traveling through Mirkwood.

Gandalf was very expert with fire. He caught pine cones on fire with his power and threw them on the wargs. The fire burned them and they scattered, catching the grass on fire. The Goblins re-directed it to catch the trees on fire.
The first challenge came in the form of three very large trolls. The dwarves were all captured and would have been goners except Gandalf showed up and saved them. While heading through the mountains they encountered a storm and giants, either of which could have done them in. They took shelter in a cave that was actually the front door to an orc-hold*. When the Great Goblin saw the sword Orcrist ("Orc-cleaver", or simply "biter") he was ready to smash and rend them all. Once again Gandalf is the savior and beheads the Great Goblin. After they got out of the orc-hold they soon ran into wargs. This time Gandalf was caught also and the Great eagles had to save him, along with the rest of the company. *Note-Goblin is a slang term for orc, used by the Sylvan elves.
Gandalf certainly played a key role in the Battle for Helm's Deep. While the Dike, along with the Wall and the Keep were being defended by Theoden, Eomer, and Aragorn, Gandalf was busy rounding up the men of Rohan that had been scattered after the Battle of the Fords of Isen. This included the leader of the men of the Westfold, Erkenbrand. Gandalf led Erkenbrand along with a thousand men on foot to the Helm's Deep, where they cut off Saruman's forces. Gandalf also brought with him, a little more indirectly, Huorns from Isengard and Fangorn. Gandalf also went to Isengard to ask for help from Treebeard. Due to this, Treebeard sent hundreds of Huorns to Helm's Deep. They completely annihilated the orcs, and the Men of Dunland surrendered.

Beorn had a few instructions for the party.Don't drink or bathe from the Mirkwood stream.Stay on the path.Return his ponies when they have made it through.
We know Bilbo, the hobbit, was well guided and well guarded on his way home because Gandalf, the wizard, accompanied Bilbo all the way home to his hobbit-hole, while Beorn, the shape-shifter, accompanied him just until they approached his house in Mirkwood. Also because Beorn gives very good advice about Mirkwood.
The Necromancer, who actually was the Dark Lord Sauron in hiding before he reentered Mordor. While this did help the health of Mirkwood some, its main effect was to cause Sauron to actually return to Mordor and call up his servants the Nazgul.
Had Saruman realized that Gandalf bore the Red Ring, he may have taken it from Gandalf.
Gandalf's first action in The Hobbit is to show up on Bilbo's doorstep, and get invited for tea. He shows up a bit late, having told a few dwarves looking for a burgler to stop by as well. These dwarves, at Gandalf's advice, hire Bilbo for the position. Gandalf then accompanies them for a part of their journey. While with the dwarves and Bilbo, he saves them from three angry trolls and rescues them from the goblins of the mountains. With this accomplished, and the dwarves well on their way to their destination, Gandalf leaves them to go do something else that needs doing. Gandalf left the dwarves, in fact, to go and deal with an evil power growing in the south of Mirkwood Forest. This power is referred to as the Necromancer in The Hobbit, and turns out in the sequel to be the dark lord Sauron, who held Middle Earth in terror for a thousand years. Gandalf, and a few wizard friends, successfully drives the Necromancer/Sauron from Mirkwood. Since their foe simply pretended to flee and then sent a few henchmen to take it back, the action wasn't really all that useful, but it's the thought that counts. This done, Gandalf returns to the dwarves, and is there in time to warn them of an approaching goblin army. After the goblins are defeated, Gandalf guides Bilbo the hobbit back home, and goes off to do whatever wizards do.
Gandalf tells Beorn the story of the journey from the start to the point that takes them to Beorn's house. Beorn is intrigued and entertained and so, as the group are no threat to him, he allows them to to stay in his house for the night. While they sleep, Beorn travels to discover if the tale he has been told is true. It is and as they have killed the Great Goblin (Beorn hates goblins) he agrees to give the group supplies and ponies to take them to Mirkwood.
Gandalf believes in Bilbo, and he says in the book that he wouldn't of brought-en him if he wasn't in good use.
The body is not immortal, while their spirit is.
Gandalf because he was the inspiring character who proclaimed "You shall not pass." Adele, while an excellent singer, cannot compete with a legendary icon of fiction.
Bilbo had found a key on the ground, and gave it to Gandalf and the dwarves after they had pushed and cursed for a while.
Bilbo was a young child and gandalf came thru with fireworks But he really met met him at his door and while he got the mail They both blew smoke rings remembering the fireworks and Bilbo inadvertantly wishing for adventure and times like when he was a young hobbit Bilbo good dayed gandalf several times in several different ways Gandalf marked his door after bilbo hastily departed after Inviting gandalf for tea the following day
