Despite the bad luck, Bilbo wakes before he is poisoned by a spider and is able to help his friends. When Bilbo climbs a tree to see how much further the forest extends, he cannot see anything but trees because they are in a small valley. Bombur falls into the stream of forgetfulness that has no bridge over it. Luck 5: The companions have generally bad luck in the forest. If the eagles had not appeared, they surely would have perished at the whim of the goblins and wargs. They have had no contact with the eagles prior to this. When they are all stuck in the trees and it looks as if they are going to die, the eagles appear and they rescue them. He also happens to find his friends pretty quickly. Luck 4: Bilbo ends up on the other side of the mountains, shortening his journey significantly. Because Gollum thinks that Bilbo knows more than he actually does, Bilbo is able to follow the creature through the tunnel and rejoin his friends.
When he is playing the riddle game with Gollum, he just happens to yell for time when 'time' is the correct answer to Gollum's question.
Without this ring, the tale might have been very different. Luck 3: The first thing that Bilbo finds when he wakes from his fall is the ring. If Bilbo hadn't cried out, Gandalf may have been captured along with the others. This is terrible luck, but fortunately Bilbo wakes just as the goblins are stealing the ponies, so he has enough time to warn the others. The travelers just happen to rest in the cave that the goblins use as their main entrance to the outside world. Luck 2: The luck in this section is a mixture of good and bad. While he later reveals that he heard from his friend Elrond that trolls were in the area, and that is why he turned around and came back for them, it still doesn't account for the fact that he arrived just in time to prevent their deaths. Luck 1: Just when the dwarves are about to be sat upon by the trolls, Gandalf appears and starts to create strife between the trolls.
