As you stand on the shore of the Long Lake, your thoughts turn to the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the Dwarves of Thorin's Company. The old hobbit has shared some of the tale with you, and you have heard portions of it from others who were there or knew of the events. Today must be quite near to the anniversary of Bilbo's arrival at Esgaroth, mustn't it? The city did not stand for long after that, but neither did the dragon Smaug.

Your curiosity stirred by these musings, you decide to speak with the guards at the entrance to Lake-town and see what they might tell you about Bilbo's role in the last days of Esgaroth.

One of the guards at the entrance to Lake-town might be able to tell you more about the last days of Esgaroth, before the dragon Smaug was defeated. On this anniversary of Bilbo's arrival at Esgaroth, what do the residents of the town remember of the Burglar?
