No, I'll exhaust Eleanor to discard Driven By Shadow before deciding whether to use Eowyn's ability.

Driven by Shadow is discarded! A new Shadow card is drawn!

East Bight Patrol!
(Only notable for having 3 Threat)

Willpower: 13
Threat: 13

Given the situation I think its clear you will be using Eowyn's ability! Will of the West is discarded!
(I randomly determine the card each time I draw from the pool left in the deck, so I don't actually know what the next card is until I begin the update and draw it)

Willpower is bumped up to 14!
1 Progess is placed on the Quest!

QUEST STAGE COMPLETE

A Fork in the Road

Hurrying past the ever growing swarms of Orcs, the party approaches a fork in the path. Which would lead them out of Mirkwood, and which would lead them closer to the Necromancer's Lair? With their enemies closing in, they had little time to decide.

Quest Points: 0/2

Travel Phase

Would you like to travel to one of the Old Forest Road locations?

Sorry I've been kind of intermittent over the weekend, more real world responsibilities only kept me phone posting. So let's get back to it, shall we?

The road seems a bit nicer here, and Theoden is able to catch his breathe after the day's hard ride. The fellowship has not left their pursuers behind though, and now must prepare to face them!

I don't want to optionally engage anything. Dunhere is fragile and afraid of rampaging orcs. Instead he will (preloading for when applicable) attack the Beastmaster in the staging area! since he can't fight back.

If he's not doing anything else, that's fine with me. If needed elsewhere, I can defend with Denethor. I should be able to have Beravor available for anyone who needs card draw.
