If nobody has noticed, I was being rather sarcastic in reference to the invisible hobbit. My post was meant to bring up the question of how infallible the Mirkwood Elves thought that their security was. It seems a bit un-Elvish that they would leave prisoners unattended (in The Hobbit) or that the scouts would not notice an army of orcs rampaging their forest (LOTR). I was stunned to think that this awsome race could make such mistakes as to allow for the escape of so many prisoners. And if nobody minds my saying so, being drunk is not an excuse.
