Ok, I tried to play this one with Loragorn:

Game 1 Result: 92
Final Threat Level: 33

Damage Tokens on Remaining Heroes: 4
Victory Points Earned: 5
Number of Rounds Completed: 6

Game 2 Result: 89
Final Threat Level: 27
Threat Cost of Each Dead Hero: 0
Damage Tokens on Remaining Heroes: 2
Victory Points Earned: 0
Number of Rounds Completed: 6

Game 3 Result: 85
Final Threat Level: 23
Threat Cost of Each Dead Hero: 0
Damage Tokens on Remaining Heroes: 2
Victory Points Earned: 0
Number of Rounds Completed: 6

Result: 88,67

 

I first tried to play a secrecy deck, but to no avail. Then I added Frodo to the mix and things got much better. I still lost most of my games, until I won my last 4 recent games in a row. Not sure if this is because of luck, a better understanding of how to play my deck or some slight changes to my deck (substituted Gildor and Gléowine with Out of the Wild and Rumour from the Earth).

In game 2 Henamarth "Out of the WIld" saved my ass by taking out Attacop, Attacop. ALl in all therw were only few enemies, some Mirkwood Bats, some Wargs (which were "gandalfed") and some Hummerhorns in game 1.

The stratgey is quite simple. I try to have one of Faramir or Broken Blade in my starting hand which usually gives me enough WP to make progress. Broken Blade + Steward of Gondor is a nice combo on Loragorn. I also try to play Elfhelm ASAP to keep my threat low.

On of my best games ever has been the first in this row of four wins (result: 118) in which I defeated Attercop, Attercop twice and also a Hill Troll who cma e up during stage 3B. In another game I made it to stage 3B despite getting Ungoliant's Spawn in the setup and Attercop, Attercop in round 4 (without Gandalf!). A Swamp Adder in stage 3B was then too much for my fellowship, but it was close.

In game 1 I was barely able to play any threat reduction despite drawing many cards. Was also reluctant to cancel Gollum's Bite and instead assigned the damage to Glorfindel who then didn't have enough time to heal himself; at the end I was holding two copies of A Test of Will, dumbfounded. Hummerhorns engaged me due to the quest card effect, it was the first time that happened to me and no heroes died, thanks to Frodo Baggins. Glorfindel killed the creature to win me rare victory points.

Game 2 and 3 were almost identical in terms of score but very different in substance. I had to fight my way through game 2 whilst I was getting a location after another in game 3 which Asfaloth was able to clear quite easily; in the endgame though I had to encounter the Bats and a Wolf which almost killed me.

I had to play this quest a lot to get such a good series of three games, usually I was too slow or lost. So I congratulate all of you who won without repeating too many times.

The cards were taken from multiple core sets, a copy of each expansion, plus the previewed cards for Foundations of Stone - hope that is not breeching the rules.

Just got this adventure pack the other day along with the dead marshes, these were my first 3 games against this scenario. the second game was a nightmare, i drew one hill troll to set up and the second in my first turn! but over all it was not as difficult as i expected when first looking through the encounter cards. Denethor was a huge help in getting rid of some of the really bad treacheries and enemies
