Across the Ettenmoors with Three Wolf Hunters – April 19, 2020

Introduction

I decided to play the game on OCTGN and was entering my log on my 2nd screen. I was trying to refresh and accidently wiped my quest log. 2 times in 2 days this has happened. After this incident, I switched to using a Google doc as I played instead of entering them directly into Ringsdb.

Decklist

Summary

I got the contract to flip around turn 3 or 4. I had a crazy turn after that where the treachery that reveals cards per quest card in play revealed like 6 cards in one turn because I had 3 side quests in play. I managed to use a couple safe locations to optionally engage a couple enemies at a time and whittle them down.

At the start of turn 10: I’m on the last stage. Scavenge for Supplies, Forage for Food, Make Camp, and Lost in the Wilderness are in the staging area. Rugged Country is the active location. No progress on the active location or any quest. A Savage Trollspawn is engaged. Threat is 49.

Play by Play

Turn 10: Roheryn drawn. Halbarad and Beravor quest for 13 vs main quest. The Hoarwell is guarded by Rugged Country for 2 threat. Active location explored and 6 progress added to the main quest. Halbarad defends vs trollspawn, no shadow, and no damage taken. Aragorn and Amarthuil attack for 12 and kill the spawn. Refresh, discard Favor of the Valar, and threat is 45.

Turn 11: Deep knowledge drawn. Quest with everyone for 21. Cruel Mountain Troll added to the staging area for 5 threat. 16 progress added to the quest for a total of 22 to win!

Score 135 = 11 rounds 10 + 45 threat + 0 hero damage + 0 dead heroes – 3 safe locations 5 victory points – 10 victory points on Lie Low side quest
