HARDEN THE TARGET. Bolster Calabria’s defences to ride out the
attack! Build defensive emplacements, booby trap the approaches
and shape the terrain to slow the enemy.
FINAL BATTLE. The enemy is at the gates! PC's fight 5 combats
against the Witch-King hordes, and roll 5 contested rolls to
determine the course of the overall battle. Add mission
modifiers to their rolls! Witch-King
Pirate patrols
The PC's have 10 (or 1d6+4) days to complete missions
before the war horns begin to blow. Each successful
mission adds a +1 to rolls in the Final Battle. Failed
missions give +1 to the Enemy. Do not let the players
know the timeline! As players move between
missions, roll a d6. On a 1-3 they encounter an
enemy patrol. On a 4-5, a geographic
complication. On a 6 they meet
potentially friendly allies.
