I often wondered this too. I came up with several ideas as to what they may do, but none of them are very good.
For example; they dig underneath smouge and steel the treasure from beneath him.
But I think he would realise that his treasure was disappearing rapidly. Perhaps Thorin had a plan to use Gandalf to kill him. But he never said so, and when Gandalf went away, he would have been worried.
The fact is that no body really knows except Tolkien himself who took the secret to his grave… unless he wrote it down somewhere... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
