Good Point Birdland. There are other signs of Hobbits being secret weapons. In the 'Hobbit' Tolkien is always talking about the talents of hobbit. About how quiet they can be and how they have very good sences. Not as good as elves but better than men and dwarves. So my question was " If these Hobbits are so talented why are they all hidding in little holes?"
Because they were being saved for the moment when their gifts would be the most usefull. I also think their isolation gave them traits they wouldn't have picked up otherwise. I just can't think of anything at the moment.

I thought of somthing else.
What if Gollum screamed when he was killed by Bilbo. Gobblins would have followed the sound. And Bilbo was in a small passage way. Even if he was invisable he would have been trampled to death or discovered and killed. So he might not have even gotten out of the Misty Mountains.
