Bilbo Baggins has completed his book and would like to make certain that his memory of the important locations and events is correct.
'All this talk about Goblin-town and my adventures with Thorin and company has brought back many memories. I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much a bother to have you visit my old friends. I have heard tell that Dwalin is at Thorin's Hall in the Blue Mountains, away west of the dear old Shire and that Glóin is encamped in the Misty Mountains, north from here.
'I wonder if they have any memories of Goblin-town which I could add to my book. Would you visit them and find out for me?
'I would go, but I pledged I had made my last journey. Well, my last journey for a long while anyway.'
Dwalin is at Thorin's Hall far to the west, beyond the Shire. Glóin is at his camp north of Rivendell.
Bilbo Baggins would like to know if his dwarf-friends Dwalin and Glóin have any recollections which would make good additions to his book.
Bilbo Baggins is at Rivendell in the Trollshaws, south of Glóin's camp and far to the east of Thorin's Hall.
Dwalin and Glóin both shared stories of their adventure in Goblin-town. Now you should return to Bilbo.
