In briefanswer capsule

The Quest of Erebor set out once Gandalf had put the expedition together and sent Bilbo with the Dwarves. To Frodo and Gimli in Minas Tirith he later says Thorin lacked any real hope of Smaug's destruction; hope was absent, yet the thing occurred. Neither the victory nor the hoard came to Thorin, who was dead before either was won. Gandalf says pride and avarice mastered him though he had been warned. The account covers his dealings with Thráin and Thorin Oakenshield.
