 |
 |
Gandalf casts Blinding Light to guide and protect his companions. |
An early threat to the Fellowship appears in the form of a Goblin Captain and spear-wielding Goblin. |
|
|
The Goblin Captain charges forward with support, rolling three dice. Caught off guard, Gimli fumbles his attacks. |
After losing the combat and taking a Wound despite a Might-boosted roll, Gimli retreats to Legolas' side. |
|
|
Suddenly, a chasm appears to halt the Fellowship in its tracks. Can they make the jump? |
The chasm seriously hampers the progress of the fleeing Fellowship as they slowly navigate the gap. |
|
|
Meanwhile, to make matters worse, the roar of a Cave Troll marks its entrance in the distance. |
Protecting the rear of the party, Legolas drops the Goblin Captain with a single volley of arrows. |
 |
 |
The cavern shakes as a second fear-inducing chasm appears before the Fellowship. Aragorn and Boromir make it with ease, but what about the rest? |
In a strange reversal of roles, Gimli manages to help Legolas across the yawning chasm after the Elf fails a simple Jump test. "Not the hair!" |
|
|
Recovering his wits after his close call, Legolas returns some Goblin bow fire to kill two distant Goblin Archers with deadly accuracy. |
Once more, Legolas botches a Jump roll, and — fresh out of Might points — he plummets to his death as Gimli and Sam watch in horror. So passes Legolas Greenleaf... |
|
|
Gandalf attempts a Sorcerous Blast that would easily knock the Cave Troll out of the way... and botches it. |
Calling a heroic combat, Aragon slices through a Goblin Archer with ease and charges the Cave Troll. |
 |
 |
Aragorn tangles with the Troll... |
...and he wounds and pushes back the beast. |
|
|
Seizing the advantage, Boromir and Aragorn tag-team the Troll and kill it without a problem. |
With the Troll out of the way, things are looking up for the Fellowship, as nothing but Goblins lie ahead. |
|
|
Unfortunately, Aragorn, weary after so much battle, underestimates his foe and falls to a Goblin Captain. |
Did someone order a Cave Troll? Yet another angry beast charges towards the reeling heroes. |
|
|
Sam falls to massed Goblin bowfire and Gandalf is wounded. An enraged Gimli makes his way forward. |
The tide surges forward, intent on adding Boromir and Gandalf to the pile of casualties. |
 |
 |
Boromir slays the Goblin Captain and prepares to take on another Cave Troll. Meanwhile, Gandalf wins his combat to make room for Gimli. |
Before Gimli and Boromir charge, Gandalf successfully casts Sorcerous Blast, knocking the Troll back 5" as well as killing a Goblin in the way. |
|
|
Seeing their chance to eliminate the Troll with double strikes, Gimli and Boromir charge towards the nearly helpless, knocked-down Cave Troll... |
...and, in a dice roll heard 'round the world, completely lose the combat. At the bark of a Goblin Captain, the lucky Troll retreats to make room for more skilled warriors. |
|
|
Two Goblin Captains charge into combat, absolutely mauling both Gimli and Boromir in one swift round. |
Surrounded by dying friends and left alone against a tide of Evil, Gandalf is finished. Game over! |
