Defend Eddie's Rider with Theoden
Defend my Rider with Eagle of Misty Mountains
Play Feint on Amoeba's Rider with Legolas's resource


For attacks we can clear everything with:

Amoeba's: Legolas, Idraen, Gildor and Eleanor
Eddie's: Bard + Gandalf
Rarity's: Legolas, Bard and Haldir

Idraen can defend and then I can use Miruvor to ready Idraen. Maybe feint a different one and reassign attackers.

So more formally

Rarity plays feint - paying with Legolas pn Eddie's Fell Rider
Eagle of the Misty Mountains defends Rarity's Fell Rider
Idraen defends Amoeba's Fell Rider

If no Shadow cards mess up plans then:

Gandalf, Bard and Legolas attack Eddie's Fell Rider
Theoden, Legolas and Haldir attack Rarity's Fell Rider
Idraen uses Miruvor to Ready and places it on the top of Amoebas deck
Idraen, Bard and Gildor attack Amoeba's Fell Rider.

Idraen defends:
The Nine are Abroad

quote:

Shadow: Return attacking enemy to the staging area after this attack.

Idraen takes a wound, and the Fell Rider returns to the staging area. Eddie's Fell Rider feinted. His shadow would of been:
Black Steed

Eagle defends:
Power In Their Terror

quote:

Shadow: Discard a non-objective attachment you control.

I am going assume that you're going to discard Bard's UC, since Legolas' UC would mess up your plans. I also assume that Idraen won't use Miruvor. Eagles take two wounds.

Gandalf, Bard, and Legolas kill Eddie's Rider. Legolas readies. Theoden, Legolas, and Haldir kill Rarity's readies. Four progress in total is placed on the quest, progressing to the next stage:


Race to Rivendell

quote:

When Revealed: Add Ford of Bruinen and The Witch-king to the staging area.
While at least 1 Nazgūl enemy is in play, Race to Rivendell gets +15 quest points.
Forced: At the end of the round, reduce the Ring-bearer’s life by 1.
If the players defeat this stage, they have won the game.

…black horses leaped down the hill in pursuit, and from the Riders came a terrible cry, such as Frodo had heard filling the woods with horror in the Eastfarthing far away. It was answered; and to the dismay of Frodo and his friends out from the trees and rocks away on the left four other Riders came flying. Two rode towards Frodo: two galloped madly towards the Ford to cut off his escape. –The Fellowship of the Ring

Okay what's done is done. It's going to take two more rounds to make it across the Last Bridge and put us on a path towards the Fords of Bruinen. Let's focus on taking out the Last Fell Rider and also let's avoid detouring to the Ettenmoors.

The solution is we just take away the Fords and the Witch King and put us back on Quest 1B, so we have 11 threat in the staging area and nothing else much to do but cross the bridge.

Play Lorien Guide paying with one from each.
