Okay delurking now that my "ahem" mix up with the profile was fixed (Note to Hammy. Do not touch profile button ever again you broke the boards nitwit).. Back to the thread.. What I had suggested was yes, that perhaps they had heard of or seen the dragon in the general area causing devastation and/or had information from the area around Dale and thereabouts that the dragon was in the area and headed out to check it out. I'm sure that the dragon had been flying in the area and had been causing havoc. It's not unreasonable to assume Thranduil would have heard about it. Also, it's possible that at that point in time Thranduil and the elves were more prominent in the area, having been regularly trading with Dale and had numerous sources of contact in the wider area that would have been providing him with information. In the film we have to remember that Bilbo is narrating. The tendency is for this to appear to be a one time event, or sudden cataclysmic event (which would make sense from Bilbo's perspective as narrator) when in fact it may have been over a period of days or weeks that the dragon took out his vengeance on the area. Those are my thoughts anyway.
