Who fought in Battle of Five Armies and what was the outcome?
The Battle of the Five Armies started as a face off between the armies of the Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield and Dain of the Iron Hills, the Men of Long Lake, led by Bard, and the Wood Elves, led by their King. They all had some claim to the treasure in the Halls of the King under the Mountain, recently freed from the possession of the dragon Smaug, whom Bard had slain, with Bilbo's help. As they were about to fight, due to Thorin's enormous love of the treasure, and complete unwillingness to consider any other claim, an enormous army of Goblins showed up. To some degree, their attack had been kicked off by the slaying of the Great Goblin by Gandalf, plus their desire for the treasure. Once the Goblins showed up, the Elves, Dwarves, and Men joined together to fight the common foe. After that battle had been engaged for some time, and was not going well for the forces of good, an army of eagles showed up and tipped the scales against the Goblins. So I guess that in the end, the desire of the Dwarves to gain back their lost home in Lonely Mountain, and win back the treasure of their fathers was the primary cause of this battle.
Why did Smaug go off to the lake-town of Esgaroth?
Bilbo had stolen a cup from Smaug's hoard and, from some unfortunate comments on Bilbo's part, deduced that the thief was a Lakeman from Esgaroth, so he went off in a great fiery rage to burn Esgaroth to the ground and eat lots of tasty Lakemen.
In 'The Hobbit' what is the master's reaction when thorin announces his departure?
This excerpt from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien describes the Masters reaction:But the Master was not sorry at all to let them go. They were expensive to keep, and their arrival had turned things into a long holiday in which business was at a standstill. "Let them go and bother Smaug, and see how he welcomes them!" he thought. "Certainly, O Thorin Thrain's son Thror's son!" was what he said. "You must claim your own. The hour is at hand, spoken of old. What help we can offer shall be yours, and we trust to your gratitude when your kingdom is regained."'

Why doesn't Gandalf think Thorin believes that Thorin is being a good King Under the Mountain in the hobbit?
Yes, the narrator says that Gandalf “had not expected this sudden assault,” but he tells the others that it “has come more swiftly than I guessed,” and knows who is leading the attack. (It’s interesting the way the narrator resolutely refuses to claim knowledge of Gandalf’s thoughts, saying things like “How much Gandalf knew cannot be said.”) So since he knew that goblins and wargs were on their way, you would think he might want to tell them earlier and suggest that they should wait on fighting each other lest they do all the goblins’ work for them, yeah? As it is, Gandalf’s “jump in front of charging dwarves” solution is very dramatic but not very sensible. Moving back to the start of the chapter, I again thought Gandalf’s actions were suboptimal. Yes, he was able to keep Thorin from throwing Bilbo over the wall, but what if Thorin’s first reaction had been to stab Bilbo in the neck? Hard for even magic to deal with that. One possibly better option would have been for Gandalf to do the talking from the start. He might have had a better chance at snapping Thorin out of it—he certainly couldn’t do worse than Bard, who backs Thorin into a corner when he asks, “Is there then nothing for which you would yield any of your gold?”, before revealing the Arkenstone, and then fuels Thorin’s anger by not answering Thorin’s question about how they got the Arkenstone. Of course, Gandalf seems to be acting in agreement with Bard, holding up the Arkenstone right on cue, so maybe he wouldn’t have been a better choice.
What are dwarves in The Hobbit?
Fili, Kili, Oin, Gloin, Thorin Oakenshield, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori, and Ori. The two youngest are Fili and Kili. Thorin is royalty. Thorin dies in the Battle of Five Armies. Fili and Kili, brothers, are Thorin's sister, Dis' children. Hence they are his nephews. They die beside Thorin in the Battle of Five Armies. Oin and Gloin are brothers, and Gloin also has a very important son, Gimli who plays a crucial role in The Lord of the Rings. Dwalin and Balin are brothers. Balin attempts to retake Moria and is slain by a goblin scout as he gazes into the Mirrormere. Dori, Ori, and Nori are brothers and all survive the book. Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur are the last dwarves. They are relatively minor characters except for Bombur. He has a significant role in the fact that he is so fat and is a special friend to Bilbo. His weight creates several hardships when he has to be carried or lifted by ropes.

What bad news did Roac bring?
Roac brought both good and bad news to the Dwarves. The good news was that Smaug was dead. The bad news (to Thorin & Co. anyway) was that the Wood-elves and the Lake Men were marching on the Lonely Mountain to claim a portion of the treasure reclaimed from Smaug's hoard. Naturally, this was quite offensive to Thorin, who indignantly replied: "But none of our gold shall thieves take or the violent carry off while we are alive."Here is the quote from The Hobbit: 'The Gathering of the Clouds'"So much for joy, Thorin Oakenshield. You may go back to your halls in safety; all the treasure is yours--for the moment. But many are gathering hither besides the birds. The news of the death of the Guardian has already gone far and wide, and the legend of the wealth of Thror was not lost in the telling during many years; many are eager for a share of the spoil. Already a host of elves is on the way, and carriorn birds are with them hoping for battle and slaughter. By the lake men murmur that their sorrows are due to the dwarves; for they are homeless and many have died, and Smaug has destroyed their town. They too think to find amends from your treasure, whether you are alive or dead."We would see peace once more among dwarves and men and elves after the long desolation; but it may cost you dear in gold. I have spoken."
