   Summary

   A small mistake during the Battle forces Bilbo Baggins to find out that there are other threats and even greater forces of evil in Middle Earth beyond the calamity of Smaug. So, having barely finished his first adventure, he embarks on another journey that will put his endurance and strength of will to the test in a way he's never experienced before - and suffice it to say that a magic ring that possesses something of an own personality does not make for a good travelling companion.
   OR
   Bilbo sets out to destroy the ring and has to deal with the trinket's malicious shenanigans on his way to Mount Doom.
