Thorin is a dwarf, and they love treasure. They finally get their mountain and then here comes humans tramping along, wanting a share in it. To Thorin and company, they just certainly could not have sticky human fingers all over their precious treasure. What can you say, they're dwarves!
The killer of Smaug is Bard the Bowman. He's alerted by a thrush who overheard of Smaug's weakness (a single bare spot in his bejeweled chest).Bard, a man in the town of Esgaroth, a town by the lake, killed the dragon. He was told by the thrush where Smaug's weak spot was, and thus Bard was able to shoot the dragon through the heart.
Bard wanted to wait until the gold and silver had been brought out in exchange for the Arkenstone, he was afraid that there wouldn't be any chance once Dain had joined Thorin in the mountain.
He insisted that the elvenking leave the camp and that men that remained were unarmed.
