LotR 90-92 -- Into the Pit (19-21)
Tags
Try a different deck for this one, the Khazad-dum P2 Tactics/Spirit deck. The Deeds of Dwarves tri-sphere deck just didn't work, it couldn't get past the first stage.
Initial hand:
- Unexpected Courage
- Gondorian Spearman
- West Road Traveler
- The Galadhrim's Greetings
- Dwarven Axe
- Zigil Miner
Initial Encounter: Crumbing Ruin, exhaust Gimli, draw Blade of Gondolin. Gimli stays exhausted, but is not discarded.
Round 1
- Resource: 3, draw Veteran of Nanduhirion.
- Planning: none, save for next round.
- Quest: Thalin and Dwalin, draw Stairs of Nain, net +0 P, but ok with that for this round. This is almost like having a free round with 1 Crumbling Ruin traded for a Blade of Gondolin.
- Travel: none.
- Encounter: none.
- Combat: none.
- Refresh: Threat 30.
Round 2
- Resource: 6, draw Feint.
- Planning: Unexpected Courage on Gimli.
- Quest: All, draw Dark and Dreadful, net +2 P to place on East-Gate.
- Travel: none.
- Encounter: none.
- Combat: none.
- Refresh: Threat 31.
Round 3
- Resource: 7, draw Citadel Plate.
- Planning: Citadel Plate on Gimli.
- Quest: All, draw Many Roads, no effect as there are no locations in the discard pile, surge Crumbling Ruin, but there are no characters left to exhaust, so I'm going to ignore this one. Net +2 P.
- Travel: none.
- Encounter: none.
- Combat: none.
- Refresh: Threat 32.
So far, this deck isn't doing any better than Deeds of Dwarves.
Round 4
- Resource: 6, draw Veteran of Nandurhirion.
- Planning: play Zigil Miner.
- Quest: All, draw Branching Paths, use Cave Torch and draw Burning Low which discards, puttng 3 P on Branching Paths which clears it, net +3 P which clears East-Gate.
- Travel: First Hall.
- Encounter: none.
- Combat: none.
- Refresh: Threat 33.

- Planning: none.
- Quest: Thalin, Dwalin, Zigil, draw Stair of Nain, raise threat by 3 to 36.
