The title character got the Arkenstone out of The Lonely Mountain, which was an important turning point in the story, but once the armies begin fighting, he doesn't have much of a role beyond that.
It's been 15 years since I read the book, but I remember there being more of an aftermath at The Lonely Mountain; like Thorin getting entombed with the Arkenstone. Wonder if that will end up in the extended edition.
