Have you ever heard the riddle about the man in the desert with two enemies? One filled his water bottle with poison, the other shot a hole in his water bottle so he had nothing to drink. The man died- so who killed him? (I say the second guy)

So anyway, I would say Bard. If Smaug was an honest member of the community Bard would be up for murder and the thrush and Bilbo would be accessories. Gandalf would probably get off.
