Good point, Birdland! The Arkenstone was the heart of the mountain, and the heart of Thorin, and --could be-- the key to Smaug's heart, all in one-- excellent! I never thought of that. I never could decide if the Thrush was an emissary of Gandalf or Radagast the Brown, but it would be cool if he was Gandalf in disguise. On the other hand, it would be good if Radagast actually got to do something useful!
