Chapter 15 of The Hobbit begins with a Raven by the name of Roac informing Bilbo, Thorin, and the other dwarves of the dragon Smaug's death. Roac warns Thorin that elves and the men of Lake-Town will come seeking Smaug's treasure in Lonely Mountain.
The thrush that had attracted Bilbo's attention outside the secret door to the Lonely Mountain is revealed to be Roäc son of Carc. He tells Bilbo and the dwarves that Smaug is dead and that they should not trust the Master of Lake-town, but Bard.
Telling Smaug ANYTHING close to the truth is dangerous. He might hate Hobbits, or use that knowledge to follow him back home and destroy him. Bilbo revealing it to Gollum nearly caused the destruction of everything.
How did Bard know where to aim when he shot Smaug?
One of the archers defending the town, Bard, a descendant of Girion, holds out against Smaug with his arrows. Taking advice from a thrush, he shoots Smaug in his soft spot — the place near his left breast that Bilbo had spied some time before.
Why did the master reveal that " i am the last man..." Of whom was he speaking? Why did he say that at the particular time he did? He is speaking of Bard because everybody respected bard and he felt disrespected.

Why did the master go mad?
History in the show
This was a portal through which you could see the time vortex (the tunnel the TARDIS travels through as it travels in time) and see the full power of the Time Lords. He suggests that this is what made the Master go mad.
The books already tell us what happens after Smaug is killed and the Dwarves reclaim Erebor. The Dwarves became prosperous again in the mountain but, as before, horded most of their riches, with some trickling out through trade with Men from nearby settlements.
Although Bilbo is forced to use his Ring to keep out of sight from the dragon, Smaug is immediately aware of his presence by his scent (whilst the smell of hobbit is unknown to him).
What is ironic about the way in which Smaug is killed?
Situational irony is when something happens that is opposite of what's expected. When Bard kills Smaug, he expected it to help his town, but instead, Smaug crushes the town leading to further problems because now the people believe they have a right to the Alderstone.
Bard the Bowman is a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. A Man of Laketown and a descendant of the ancient Lords of Dale, Bard manages to kill Smaug, the dragon, after which he becomes king of Dale.
Answer and Explanation: Smaug calls Bilbo a thief, and he is accurate in his judgment. While Bilbo claims that he entered Smaug's home in order to see whether the rumors of his size and majesty were true, Smaug suspects that Bilbo is there to steal some of his treasure.
Why didn't the elves help the dwarves against Smaug?
They were especially suspicious of dwarves, partly because of arguments about who owned what treasure, and partly because of the emergence of a Balrog in Moria, for which the elves generally blamed the dwarves.
"I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong strong."
Peter Jackson certainly makes the assertion in the theatrical and extended editions of the Hobbit movies that Smaug and Sauron are not only well aware of each other, but are planning to ally with each other. Smaug even seems to have detailed knowledge of Sauron's coming plans.
He represents the wrongful impulse to hoard, to accumulate beyond what one can use and to refuse to share with others. In revenge for the theft of the Arkenstone, he destroys the town of Lake-town (Esgaroth).
Smaug, left those who fled Erebor, because the treasure was his goal, from the beginning. After these events, we understand that Smaug is, at least, Neutral Evil. And this is where, the Films and Book choose a different path. In the Book, Smaug desires only the treasure of Erebor.
The theory argues that Gandalf knew Smaug would make a powerful ally for Sauron and that the dragon's involvement in the War of the Ring would likely spell disaster for those who took up the fight against Sauron.
The whole reason why Gandalf got the dwarves and Bilbo on their mission to Erebor was because he feared an alliance between Sauron and Smaug. While it was unlikely that the dragon would serve Sauron, a collaboration was more than possible in Gandalf's mind (and his mind tended to be spot on).
To that end, The Hobbit book stated that Smaug was a young dragon when he attacked Erebor. So, even though the "Smaug was a human" theory holds some water, all indication was that Smaug was born a dragon.
Smaug is able to detect Bilbo through the Ring's invisibility, but the hobbit does not even need the Ring to survive the meeting with the dragon, relying on his wits to flatter the dragon and eventually escape.
Their deaths and Thorin's did not end Durin's line, although did end the branch which had Thror, Thrain, and Thorin Oakenshield. Thorin's cousin, Dain Ironfoot, became King after Thorin's death. Dain's son, Thorin Stonehelm, became King after Dain died in the Battle of Dale. The line continued on after that.
Although Smaug was the greatest of the Dragons of his day, he seems not to have been the last of his kind as Gandalf told Frodo Baggins that "there is not now any dragon left on earth in which the old fire is hot enough [to melt the Rings of Power]", indicating the presence of other, lesser dragons.
What happened to the Misty Mountain after The Hobbit?
Erebor, also known as the Lonely Mountain, was lost for 171 years before Thorin began his quest to reclaim his homeland. Following the destruction of Smaug and the Battle of Five Armies, the Dwarves freed the Lonely Mountain and settled there once more.
