Bilbo also spends at least a week at the Elvenking's palace, sneaking back out and then back in multiple times, before he comes up with a plan to free the dwarves. In the novel, the elves capture and interrogate Thorin separately from the other dwarves, the rest of whom are captured and interrogated sometime later.This is also where Bilbo reveals the secret of his magic ring to the dwarves, which they never find out about in the films. In the film, the elves make their debut by coming to the dwarves' rescue, whereas in the novel, Bilbo and the dwarves are eventually able to fend off the spiders on their own. The fight with the spiders is also much longer in the novel, and ends differently.Most notable of these is when the company stumbles upon a party of feasting elves three different times, only for the elves to keep mysteriously disappearing. The journey appears to last much longer in the novel, where the company encounters more strange and creepy things prior to their run-in with the spiders. The entire Mirkwood segment is shortened significantly.This would continue into the next film, with Beorn only appearing at the end of the battle and then at the dwarves' funeral, in both cases very briefly. Beorn's role in the film is reduced, and the characters spend less time at his house before journeying on to Mirkwood.Adaptation Distillation: As with the first film, many descriptive and transitional details are either condensed or removed outright:.Actor Allusion: When the Master of Laketown jovially greets Thorin and his company with "Welcome, welcome and thrice welcome!" it almost sounds like he's introducing an episode of QI.Action Girl: Tauriel is the action girl Arwen almost became for The Lord of the Rings.While they didn't take Smaug down, the last of the bolts knocked off a scale, leaving a weak point in his hide. Dale had four such arrows, three of which were used. Achilles' Heel: Only a special dwarven-made "black arrow" shot from a special dwarven mounted ballista can pierce a dragon's hide.
