One evening the hobbit suddenly the riddle on the map. He quickly gathers the other dwarves by the door, and they watch as the sun slowly sets. With the sun’s last light a keyhole appears. Thorin quickly takes the key that came with the map and places it in the rock and a door opens.

When Smaug awakens, he is enraged to discover that the cup is missing. The dwarves and Bilbo huddle inside the secret passage. After a while, Smaug returns and falls asleep. The hobbit goes in again to check if Smaug is asleep but the dragon is awake and is waiting for him.
Although he cannot see Bilbo because of the ring, Smaug smells the hobbit.
