What they found were two swords the or cist (goblin cleaver) and glamoring (foe hammer) which goblins truly hated. It was used to kill many goblins in its time.

The hobbit stupidly answered just a friendly hobbit. It was ok because the dragon could not see him. He kept on aggravating the dragon until finally he went and in his rage attacked the little village by the river near the mountain. fortunately the hobbit had noticed a soft part on the dragon's breast which was not covered by thick scaly armor.

He quickly told the wizard and the wizard sent a messenger to the villages greatest bowman. He had received the message and was prepared for the dragons attack. And, as soon as the dragon made his move, the magnificent bowman had shot an arrow through the evil dragons breast. That was the end of the evil dragon smog.
