Tar-Palantir has just left Hobbiton.

Speaking to The Hobbit, they escaped by the skin of their teeth, had to wait quite a long time to do so (find a plan), and nearly drowned as a result. It's not like they just walked out the front gate. Small windows of opportunity (in this case being drunk/unattentive) can bring about great deeds.

While speaking of the infallibility of 'awesome' races, don't you remember a little guy named Melkor and a beast named Ungoliant? They snuck in and out. Both the escapes of Melkor and the Dwarves happened during a time of revelry.
