| [9] Barrels Out of Bond The rest of the Company get captured by the woodelves and are taken to the woodelves' palace. [Take a look at the palace] Bilbo doesn't get captured and uses his ring to secretly follow the elves and the dwarves into the palace. The dwarves are put in the dungeons. Bilbo rescues everyone by putting them in empty wine barrels and letting the guards throw the barrels into the Forest River, on their way to Lake-town. [Take a look at the barrels and river] Bilbo rides the barrels as they float downstream.
