Who was the first dwarf in the world?
In mythology, the first dwarf is often considered to be Durin, a prominent figure in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, specifically in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings." In Norse mythology, dwarves are depicted as skilled craftsmen and are associated with creation myths, but there isn't a singular "first dwarf." They are often said to have originated from the blood of the primordial being Ymir. The concept of dwarves has evolved across various cultures and stories over time.

What did Tolkien mean by a thunder-battle?
Tolkien was talking about that awesome occasion when two large thunderstorms collide in the atmosphere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "thunder-battle" described in the Hobbit is a "game" played by the Stone Mountain Giants of the Misty Mountains. They throw large boulders back and forth, when a boulder is not caught by a giant it crashes against the mountainside making the sound of "thunder". This is described in first edition copies of the Hobbit, but Tolkien removed it from later editions when he edited the Hobbit to make it compatible with the LOTR story. Most likely it was removed as he felt it might be considered "too childish" as he was elevating the target reading age of the Hobbit to match the LOTR as well as matching the stories. I have not checked the current edition of the Hobbit, Christopher might have added it back (especially as it is depicted in Jackson's movie version of the Hobbit).
What did Tolkien mean by a thunder battle in 'The Hobbit'?
The Battle of the Five Armies. Nope, the "thunder-battle" is a great thunderstorm in the Misty Mountains while the Dwarves and Bilbo try to cross the pass. (Note: In the first edition the "thunder" is literally the crashing of great boulders against the mountains as Giants fight. This is edited out as "too childish" and incompatible with the "Rings" plot in all later editions, but the "thunder-battle" is left in - just without Giants involved.)

Why was it a good thing that Bilbo was with the adventurers the night of the storm?
In chapter 4 of 'The Hobbit,' all 15 of the adventurers were caught in a thunderstorm described as a thunder-battle, so they entered a cave which they thought was empty.

Bilbo was the first to awake from a troubled sleep and spot the goblins, and his loud yell was just enough for Gandalf to escape and save the rest of the captured adventurers.
