The next day, when the company arrived at Beorn's hall, Kíli and Fíli were again together as the fourth pair of Dwarves to appear during Gandalf's story. When the company rushed up into trees to escape the wargs Kíli and Fíli scrambled to the top of a tall larch. After Gandalf had rescued the company and was counting the members he found Kíli and Fíli, as usual, paired together. They found a small dry cave which was perfect for the company (until the Goblins arrived). Up in the Misty Mountains during the thunder-battle the two brothers, being the youngest Dwarves with the keenest eyes, were sent ahead to look for shelter. Įarly on the night when the company encountered the trolls one of the ponies became frightened and bolted into the river Kíli and Fíli nearly drowned getting the beast out of the water.

After supper, when the Dwarves made music, Kíli and Fíli played small fiddles that they had brought in bags. When Bilbo first met Kíli and Fíli (in the third group of Dwarves to arrive at Bag End) they wore blue hoods.

As Thorin's sister-sons, they accompanied their uncle when he set out to challenge the dragon Smaug. Before the quest to Erebor, Fíli and Kíli probably lived in the Blue Mountains where their uncle resided after the disappearance of Thráin II.
