Attack at Weathertop

THE SHORT VERSION

Five Ringwraiths approach the Hobbits’ camp at Amon Sûl before the defenders detect them and summon Strider’s return. Flaming brands can drive a defeated wraith away, making the campfire both the cause of exposure and a defensive resource. Good must clear the ruins after the sixth turn; the Witch-king’s blade or a companion’s death can still spoil the outcome. The scenario balances sudden danger with a delayed heroic rescue.
