Why did Gandalf leave Thorin and Company?
ANSWER: Gandalf’s in-story reason for leaving “Thorin and Company” is given as his need to attend some urgent business away south (a council of great wizards who deal with the Necromancer). The real reason why Gandalf leaves – that is, the literary reason Tolkien takes him out of the story for a while – is to give Bilbo a chance to “grow” as a hero.
Why does Bilbo leave to join Bard and his men?
Bilbo leaves Thorin and co. to join Bard and the other people of Lake-town because Thorin forced him to do so.

What does Gandalf tell Bilbo?
Gandalf tells Bilbo and the dwarves that he must leave them soon. He takes them to see Beorn the skin-changer, who farms a vast property some distance away.
