713-play-Radagast

[dirhaval]

Radagast earned 27 MPs – lower than his goal of 32. Skin-changers caused 4 MP to be lost on
the last turn. 2 characters MPs killed late in the game too. Pass the Doors of Dol Guldur was
played and a dragon manifestation slain all for 8 MPs.
249 cards were drawn; 143 played and 98 discarded from hand. I was too lazy to report every
action with cards in that table posted above. Elite Wose Hunters were all killed, but were vital as
bodyguards. Waulfa and Wacho made difficult to move much with weak stats.
Many Foes He Fought a great card for the Woses; played 5/8 = drawn 8x and played 5x.
On-Ikana was killed using that event against Ghouls.
Ghan-buri-Ghan though was killed early. That caused problems with general influence.

Skin-changer not played until second deck then played 5/5. It was tough since Skin-changer does
not work to face multiple strikes if the Man is tapped to start CvCC.
Fifteen Birds in Five Firtrees was a no show until the third deck: 1/7.
[I just realized that I allowed minions six copies of Doors of Night per Division and heroes four
copies of Gates of Morning. No wonder Doors dominated.]
Marvels Told was played 5/6 even with limited Sages. That is why Waulfa or Wacho should stay
safe at Lorien.
The Sun Unveiled was played 1/7. I like to remove this card from the deck; but the player visits
many Free-holds at a count of five. Gates of Morning fairness next time should work.
Lock Nor Bar May Hinder played 1/4, which is acceptable. The other Rescue Prisoners was not
played. Next time, the third deck can have those events ready to play characters.
Kindling of the Spirit was just played once.

Waybread in the same company as Radagast can have him be untapped for the time to use the
Staff. Waybread though was safe at Lorien with Waulfa.
Waulfa has lost his healing ability. This may change the use of Healing Herbs.


Dol Guldur was first entered on Turn 12. That same turn: Theoden entered Nurn, Denethor
entered Ithilien, Saruman entered Kref Masar, Thranduil entered Dol Guldur.
Only Knowledge of the Enemy and Forewarned is Forearmed was in play. Healing Herbs used to
tap the site. Greed was played on the site; Hunter had 4 CPs and Beorn 3 CPs each with Lure of
Expedience played that turn by Durlach. Greed caused Hunter to be discarded. Dirwood Spear
was not in play to help assign strikes.

The consequence was tough, but not bad. Radagast and Brawler tie in cvcc. Hurog and Beorn tie.
Azog wounds Pearth. Bolg wounds Hunter. I think Stormcrow was played just after PTDDG was
stored.
Beorn kills agent Ullis at The Carrock.
These hazards were in play to start Radagast’s Turn 17.



HAZ: Yavanna’s Plea, Curse Him RB (inverted), Protecting Their Domain, Dark Shapes
Gathered There, Reaching Shadow, Press-gang, Stormcrow, Redoubled Force, Scatha at Home,
Bairanax at Home, Agburanar at Home, Ando-anca at Home, From the Pits of Angband,
Agburanar ahunt


Radagast in the last few turns moved to Grey Mountains and the Narrows to either play Wizard’s
Staff or to stop Bolg to roused Scatha. Radagast, Beorn, Hunter, Wacho CvCC Bolg at
Gondmaeglom on Turn 19. Wacho was killed by Bolg. Beorn wounds Azog. Hunter wounds
Brawler. On the way back to Lorien next turn Sacrifice of Forms fails to kill Scatha aHunt on
body checks of 7,5,7.

Turn 22 had a visit by Bolg at Irerock. Mauhur wounds Beorn. Hurog wounds Hunter. Hunter
places Brawler on Press-gang.

Turn 23 had Beorn and two Hunters visit Mount Gundabad to kill Orc-Shaman and draw minions
there. Hunter wounds Shaman. Bolg returns. He wounds Beorn. Azog kills Hunter. Hunter
wounds Shaman again.

Turn 24 had a rescue attempt on Sam Gamgee at Ost-in-Edhil. Beorn plays Many Foes He
Fought to face 4 strikes. Ognor is discarded and Wolf wounded. Hunter is killed by Tuma.
Burat had his Iron Shield of Old tapped from an earlier cvcc. Burat and Beorn tie.
Radagast goes with Grimbeorn to Dunharrow to cvcc Hoarmurath minions. Snaga, Gorbag, and
Ufthak are all wounded.


HAZARD
5 creatures killed including all Huorns. 47 creatures were drawn; 25 played. That is a good ratio.
Memories of Axe-wielders did not see much neither did Sentinel of the Grove, but that is fine.
Other plant non-short-events saw long time in play.


AGENTS
Goblin-basher and Kori used Seek Without Success. Kori’s use was devastating on Felagrog. But
Kori will now go to Thrain’s deck for more use setting traps.

Deck 1 has exhausted during Turn 10.
Good action with items and MP events.
Kept Bolg away from CvCC often.
Like to have more dwarf characters using Naugol and R.A.Enemy.

Defeated a Slayer creature.
Tapped 8 sites. Faced few strikes. Going well on resource side.

Played 27 hazards and 3 agent actions.
Next game iteration will allow hero avatar manifestations
to be used as creatures so to use The Watchful Peace.
