I keep getting creamed on this. I play solo, but with two decks, and either I have to commit too many people to quest and then can't handle the goblins, or don't quest and get many threats and don't progress in the scenario. Even my allies don't help enough (often too little too late). I can't believe they rated this a 5. This is by far the most difficult quest of all the one's they produced so far IMHO. Seriously, unless I get super lucky with cards, I just don't see this quest being beaten. Any secrets out there?

Yeah, I used to play the Decipher CCG back in the day. Bummer you can't re-attach things. I can see some thing like SoG not being able to be re-attached, but I don't see why Gimli couldn't hand his axe over to Legolas to borrow for a while. Oh well. The rules are the rules (although where in the rules does it say you can't re-attach items? I couldn't find a ruling on it... maybe I'm blind).

A quick question: Can you re-attach an attachment to a different hero? For example, if Aragorn had Steward of Gondor on him, could I take it off him and re-attach it to another hero for 2 resource?

I'm in Waterloo, IA

Elven Archer said: Instead of thinking of the enemy or location as attached to the objective, I like to think that the enemy is "carrying" the objective card or that the objective card is lying on the ground at the location that is attached to it. The enemy follows all normal rules for an enemy that is in the staging area. When it's killled or discarded, it drops the objective and the objective is now "sitting on the ground" in the staging area, unclaimed. In the case of a location, if Northern Tracker or some other card effect discards the location straight from the staging area or if the group successfully explores it, the objective is "found" lying on the ground and it is sitting there "unclaimed." Thanks a great way to explain it. Thanks!

So then unclaimed Objective cards that are not guarded are shuffled into the deck and when they are revealed (even as a shadow card) they are placed in the staging area with a new encounter card attached. That's what I'm understanding to be the case at any rate. So an additional question then: Are the cards guarding the objective considered to be in the staging area (and thus add their threat) or or they inactive until a player decides to "pop" it by engaging the enemy guarding it or traveling to that location? Sorry, but I find the mechanics of this quest to be a little sketchy for me. Once again, thanks for all the help!

So if because of the Dungeon Jailer I need to place an Objective back into the deck, then... 1) What happens to the Shadow card attached / guarding it? 2) What do I do with it once the Objective card is later revealed from the deck? Does it go into the staging area with a new shadow card attached> Does it get automatically attached to a hero? Sorry, I've looked around the forum for an answer but couldn't find one. Thanks in advance for your help!
