When reading the flavour text of this scenario, you realize that this is probably the lowest point that your heroes will get to throughout the entire game.

A strong cold reigns on Caradhras. While winter has never been kind in these regions and especially on the Redhorn Gate, Caradhras seems to be especially hostile this year. The weather is unforgiving already, but scouts have reported orcs and goblins roaming the pass, some claiming to have seen creatures even bigger than the monstrous … Continue reading Nightmare The Redhorn Gate
When opening this pack, you might be surprised to see no extra copies of Sleeping Sentry in this pack.
