This will secure safe passage to Isengard and will form a lasting alliance between the clans and Saruman. What could possibly go wrong? The scenario doubles down on the time keyword from this cycle, now … Continue reading The Antlered Crown

On top of this, some encounter cards and some quests also have you exhaust a number of characters to fulfil certain conditions.
