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.

Why did Dain agreed to join with bard and the Elvenking when Gandalf said it was time for council?

Dain agreed to join Bard and the Elvenking at Gandalf's urging because he recognized the growing threat of the approaching armies and the need for unity among their peoples. The potential for conflict over the treasure of Erebor necessitated a cooperative approach to prevent war. Dain understood that collaborating with Bard and Thranduil could help secure peace and protect their shared interests in the face of common enemies. Ultimately, he saw the wisdom in Gandalf's call for a council to address these pressing challenges together.


How do you characterize Dain the hobbit?

Dain only has a small part in the book, but from what we see, he seems honorable. He made peace with the elves, shows respect to his departed cousin, became king, and went through with the previous deal to share treasure with Bard and the elves.


What happens in Chapter 15 of The Hobbit?

15-The thrush that Bilbo saw outside the secret door to the Lonely Mountain is spotted by roac son of Carc. He tells Bilbo and the dwarves that Smaug is dead and that they should not trust the Master of Lake-town, but Bard. Thorin, assuming his ancestral role as King under the Mountain, sends the thrush for Dain in the Iron Hills. Thorin wants to go back to the Mountain. The dwarves work to fortify the mountain against the Elvenking; as they work, the ravens bring them news. The elves pitch camp and make merry; the dwarves then make merry, as well. Bard approaches to parley with Thorin. He refuses as long as Bard's men ally with elves. Bard's men leave and then his banner-bearers return with a demand for part of the hoard if they come to the aid of the dwarves. Thorin refuses and tells them to consider themselves under siege


What is the difference between dain gift and Thorin's promises to bard and the Lake-men?

The Dain gift refers to the treasure given by Dain Ironfoot, the King under the Mountain, as a gesture of goodwill and reconciliation after the Battle of the Five Armies, intended to unite the peoples of Middle-earth. In contrast, Thorin's promises to Bard and the Lake-men were made earlier, when he pledged to share some of the treasure in return for their aid against the goblins and wargs. While Dain's gift is an act of magnanimity following conflict, Thorin's promises stem from a more transactional and strategic approach to securing alliances. Ultimately, Dain's gift emphasizes healing and cooperation, whereas Thorin's commitments highlight the complexities of trust and negotiation in times of strife.
