Throughout the adventure, the dwarves started to trust Bilbo more as a leader, and listened to his opinions as if he had been leading them from the beginning. Thorin and the others realized that Bilbo is right and that he would be most apt to lead when Gandalf leaves. The hobbit was always coming up with solutions to the problems faced by him and the dwarves. One example is when spiders captured the company. Bilbo discovered a way to rescue them by leading the spiders away, while wearing the ring, calling them names and singing vile songs. He also aided the dwarves when the wood elves found and seized them. Mr. Baggins found an exit to the palace and freed Thorin from a hidden cell, all without taking the ring off once in order to stay hidden.
