What happened when Thorin tells the Great Goblin they mean no harm?

When Thorin Oakenshield tells the Great Goblin that they mean no harm, the Great Goblin is skeptical and dismissive. He perceives the dwarves as intruders rather than peaceful travelers, leading to a tense confrontation. The situation escalates when the Great Goblin recognizes Thorin's sword, Orcrist, and decides to capture them instead, resulting in a chaotic escape orchestrated by Gandalf. This encounter highlights the animosity between the Goblins and dwarves, setting the stage for further conflict.


What does the name Orchrist mean In the Hobbit?

In J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," the name "Orchrist" translates to "goblin-cleaver" in Sindarin, one of the Elvish languages. It is the name of the sword wielded by Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the dwarves. The sword's name reflects its purpose and effectiveness in battle against goblins, highlighting its significance in Thorin's quest.


Why did the elves capture thorin?

They were captured several times, by the trolls, orcs, and Mirkwood spiders, respectively. But they were taken prisoner and kept in the dungeons by the Elves of Mirkwood (which is probably the instance you mean).


What does audacious mean in the hobbit?

In chapter 1, Thorin says the following: "We are met together in the house of our friend and fellow conspirator, this most excellent and audacious hobbit - may the hair on his toes never fall out! all praise to his wine and ale! -" I think audacious, in this instance, means having a willingness to take risks. It may have been a poor choice of word for Thorin to make. Perhaps, if Thorin had used the word brave, courageous, heroic, or valiant, he would have gotten a more positive response from Bilbo though it seems Bilbo was not in a mood to hear any words of that kind spoken of himself so early in the story. Bilbo is a hobbit after all and hobbits never do anything unexpected.


What important discovery does elrond make about the map in the hobbit?

Well he obviously wasn't aware of the presence of moon-letters and probably never thought to hold it up against the moon. I mean, who would? Elrond is more knowledgeable and perhaps had experience with these. I would say that Thorin is less observant and knowledgeable.
