Line 75:
* In the first chapter of ''[[The Hobbit]]'', Gandalf explains that he got the map and key to the Lonely Mountain from Thorin's father, who he found languishing in the dungeons of the Necromancer (making [[The Dreaded|everyone at the party - including Bilbo - gasp]]). As he explains:
{{quote|'''Gandalf:''' I tried to save your father, but it was too late. He was witless and wandering, and had forgotten almost everything except the map and the key.}}
* At the beginning of [[Tom Holt|Tom Holt's]]'s ''Expecting Someone Taller'' Malcolm Fisher receives the Tarnhelm and the Ring of the Nibelungs from Ingolf, the last of the Frost Giants, cleverly disguised as a badger who he's just run over with his car. Not being educated in Norse mythology or even having seen the opera poor Malcolm has no clue what he's getting himself into.
{{quote|'''Ingolf''': "Cut my arm and lick some of the blood."
'''Malcolm''': "I'd rather not."
