To his astonishment and terror, and lasting delight, Sam saw a vast shape crash out of the trees and come careering down the slope. Big as a house, much bigger than a house, it looked to him, a grey-clad moving hill. Fear and wonder, maybe, enlarged him in the hobbit's eyes, but the Mûmak of … Continue reading QOTW: Journey to the Cross-Roads Results
It was dreary and wearisome. Cold clammy winter still held sway in this forsaken country. The only green was the scum of livid weed on the dark greasy surfaces of the sullen waters. Dead grasses and rotting reeds loomed up in the mists like ragged shadows of long-forgotten summers. As the day wore on the … Continue reading QOTW: Passage of the Marshes Results
'They pushed, pulled, tore, shook, and hammered; and clang-bang, crash-crack, in five minutes they had these huge gates just lying in ruin; and some were already beginning to eat into the walls, like rabbits in a sand-pit. I don't know what Saruman thought was happening; but anyway he did not know how to deal with … Continue reading QOTW: The Road to Isengard Results
It was now past midnight. The sky was utterly dark, and the stillness of the heavy air foreboded storm. Suddenly the clouds were seared by a blinding flash. Branched lightning smote down upon the eastward hills. For a staring moment the watchers on the walls saw all the space between them and the Dike lit … Continue reading QOTW: Helm’s Deep Results
'It is now the fourth day since he was slain' answered Aragorn; 'and since the evening of that day we have journeyed from the shadow of Tol Brandir.''On foot?' cried Éomer. 'Yes, even as you see us.'Wide wonder came into Éomer's eyes. 'Strider is too poor a name, son of Arathorn,' he said. 'Wingfoot I … Continue reading QOTW: The Uruk-Hai Results
We come now to the end of our Fellowship, and to the end of what I think is the best single box of quests in the whole game. All three quests in The Road Darkens are 5/5 quests in my opinion, each doing a masterful job of balancing representation of the key events from the … Continue reading QOTW: Breaking of the Fellowship results
You would think that after four different quests in this game that feature the same boss enemy--the Balrog--I would get tired of it. But this quest is, in my opinion, one of the best that this entire card game has to offer. We've spent the week finding our way in the darkness, fighting back swarms … Continue reading QOTW: Journey in the Dark Results
We've had some really fortunate occasions where the day that the events actually happened in the book corresponded to the days we played those quests for Quest of the Week. This quest was one of those, as we started The Ring Goes South on October 25th, which is the same day that the Council of … Continue reading QOTW: The Ring Goes South Results
Autumn is off on holiday this week, so you'll have to do with an update from me instead! This week saw us all trying to get to Rivendell with a wounded Frodo. Let's compare some stats to see how healthy Frodo actually was on average upon arrival at Imladris, and what Burdens everyone has earned! … Continue reading QotW: Flight to the Ford Results
This week was one of my favorite quests of the saga, and it's been awesome being able to share experiences of this quest with other players during the week. On that note, thanks everyone for the fantastic response to Quest of the Week. I've gotten a lot of feedback that this project has helped people … Continue reading QOTW: A Knife in the Dark Results
