As the eagles rescued Gandalf, Bilbo, and the dwarves, the birds took them first to their aeries in the Misty Mountains to rest for the night. The next morning, the eagles flew the wizard, hobbit, and dwarves to the Carrock, a tall rock outcropping in the eastern foothills of the mountains by a river. The Carrock was named by the skin-changer Beorn, who often used it as a lookout post.

What advice did the dwarves and Bilbo neglect to follow?
They did not take Gandalf's and Beorn's advice to STAY ON THE PATH while traveling through Mirkwood.
In 'The Hobbit' why does Gandalf knock on the door hard?
Because the previous morning, Gandalf had "scratched a queer sign on the hobbit's beautiful green front door" as a sign so that the dwarves would know that Bilbo was the one he had chosen to go on their adventure with them. By knocking very hard on the mark with his staff, Gandalf put a dent in the wood over top of where the sign had been, erasing any evidence that it had been there. That way, Bilbo would not blame Gandalf for all of the dwarves coming to his house to take him on an adventure.

Does Gandalf tell the dwarves that Bilbo is a spy?
When? At the beginning, Gandalf the Grey chats to Bilbo saying he is looking for someone to go on an adventure. Bilbo, being timid at the start, is a little rude to Gandalf, but invites him to afternoon tea. Gandalf laughs and with his staff marks the front door "burglar for hire, etc". Later a knock on the door and after a while 13 dwarfs and Gandalf are in Bilbo's Bag End residence: Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Gloin, Oin, Ori, Nori, Dori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield. During the adventure Bilbo is separated numerous times from the dwarfs, and aids them in their escapades with his new found confidence and bravery and his magical ring.

Why did the wizard disappear in the book The Hobbit?
Gandalf's first action in The Hobbit is to show up on Bilbo's doorstep, and get invited for tea. He shows up a bit late, having told a few dwarves looking for a burgler to stop by as well. These dwarves, at Gandalf's advice, hire Bilbo for the position. Gandalf then accompanies them for a part of their journey. While with the dwarves and Bilbo, he saves them from three angry trolls and rescues them from the goblins of the mountains. With this accomplished, and the dwarves well on their way to their destination, Gandalf leaves them to go do something else that needs doing. Gandalf left the dwarves, in fact, to go and deal with an evil power growing in the south of Mirkwood Forest. This power is referred to as the Necromancer in The Hobbit, and turns out in the sequel to be the dark lord Sauron, who held Middle Earth in terror for a thousand years. Gandalf, and a few wizard friends, successfully drives the Necromancer/Sauron from Mirkwood. Since their foe simply pretended to flee and then sent a few henchmen to take it back, the action wasn't really all that useful, but it's the thought that counts. This done, Gandalf returns to the dwarves, and is there in time to warn them of an approaching goblin army. After the goblins are defeated, Gandalf guides Bilbo the hobbit back home, and goes off to do whatever wizards do.
Explain why Gandalf had to leave the party of adventurers near Mirkwood?
He had other matters to take care of. He had told the dwarves all along that he was not going all the way with them. Gandalf went off to a meeting with other wizards. They drove the Necromancer out of Mirkwood.
Who are the characters in the story The Hobbit?
The main character is named Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit from The Shire, who is also in The Lord of the Rings books. There are the dwarves that go with him on his adventure. The leader is Gandalf the Wizard, but he later leaves the group and leaves Thorin, the most important dwarf, in charge. Then there is Balin, who is also mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, and is said to like Bilbo the most. Beorn, a "skin changer," who can take shape of a bear, also plays an important part in helping Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves.
Why did Bilbo and the dwarves stray from the path?
in the hobbit Gandalf basically pushes him out the door without him really knowing about the whole misson laid out in font of him. all he knows is that gandalf has told the dwarves he is a silent burglar and is perfect for the mission. Bilbo wakes up the next day and is told hes late and is pushed out the door with some haste by Gandalf. since hobbits are humble and don't look for conflict Bilbo simply goes along with it.

What does the queer sign Gandalf scratches on Bilbo's door indicate to the dwarves?
After Bilbo shut the door on Gandalf, the wizard scratched some runes on the door. It was an indication that a burglar or treasure hunter lived there. Once Gandalf came for the unexpected party, he removed the mark.
