Who was most responsible for the death of Smaug? 25% percent said Bilbo was, although I see no reason why, except for rousing him from his slumber. 11% said said Gandalf, who had no connection whatsoever. Now the two which I think most debatable, The Old Thrush and Bard the Bowman. The Old Thrush told Bard the Bowman where to shoot, and without that information Bard would have wasted his last arrow. however Bard was the one who actually shot him. The thing is, without Bard, The Thrush was hopeless, but without the Thrush, Bard was hopeless. I actually that they both were equally important. How about you?
