Hi guys.
We've been trying to do this quest with two players the last while and having trouble with it (even on Easy). The part giving us the most trouble is the traitor who deals 2 damage to all allies when he engages (or 1 if you can optionally engage). Are our deck archetypes off? Or is it a matter of persistence?
Our card pool includes;
- 2x Core Set
- Shadows of Mirkwood (complete cycle)
- Khazad-dum
- Dwarrowdelf (complete cycle)
- Heirs of Numenor
- Steward's Fear
- Druadan Forest
- The Blood of Gondor
- The Morgul Vale
-Against the Shadow (Complete cycle except Encounter at Amon Din and Assault on Osgiliath)
- The Voice of Isengard
- Ring-Maker (complete cycle except Celebrimbor's Secret)
- The Grey Havens
-Over Hill and Under Hill
- On the Doorstep
- The Black Riders
- The Road Darkens
- The Treason of Sauruman

Any insight appreciated, we're still fairly new to the game despite what our card pool suggests (picked it up in bulk through sales etc); we've completed everything up to this quest deluxe-wise (except HoN, it was suggested to do it after the cycle for difficulty reasons) and the three LotR Saga Expansions listed. But something about this quest (or our decks) is throwing us for a loop.
