What did Bilbo trick smaug into doing what did he discover from this?
When Bilbo comes back in to attempt to find the dragon’s weak spot, Smaug “awakes” and smells the intruder, who is once again invisible. Bilbo and the dragon engage in conversation, but Bilbo outwits the dragon with riddles and flattery, soon tricking Smaug into revealing his own weak spot.
Why did the one ring not affect Bilbo?

How hot is Smaug’s Fire?
those poor Esgaroth people. Assuming Erebor is mainly composed of Volcanic igneous rock, I’m guessing that Smaug’s fire is cooler than 1200 degC, since he didn’t melt the tunnel the Dwarves were hiding in. Most minerals that comprise igneous rock begin to become molten before temperatures reach ~1200 degC.
Why did Smaug refrain from killing Bilbo Baggins?
Smaug did not “refrain from killing Bilbo.” Smaug was incapable of killing Bilbo, thanks to the ring’s power of invisibility. Had he been able to, Smaug would have been perfectly willing to roast Bilbo into a dragon hors d’oeuvre. Smaug did not know that Bilbo had the one ring.
How did Smaug kill the dwarves in The Hobbit?

How did Smaug destroy the Great House of Gollum?
The waters around it turned red but Smaug dared not get too close as the water would quench his fire; as the Lake-men had cut the bridges, Smaug flew above attacking and setting the town aflame, destroying the Great House with a swipe of his tail.
