The Black Gate of Mordor

THE SHORT VERSION

The Black Gate army mixes Orcs, Easterlings, a Troll and a mounted Ringwraith into an elite force with fewer reserves than a conventional horde. Its heroes must make their actions count, using Transfix and Compel to isolate vulnerable enemies. The Mouth of Sauron is highlighted as both a useful fighter and a focused spellcaster who can exploit his own disabling magic. The list turns the final battle’s mixed forces into a compact collection.
