Mirkwood –<br />
Travel through Mirkwood is hazardous, particularly if<br />
travelers stray from paths or roads. Travel through<br />
Mirkwood on a road is at the normal movement rate (no<br />
road bonus); <strong>of</strong>f road travel is at the rough terrain rate.<br />
Additionally, any force <strong>of</strong> 6 or less figures (other than<br />
Elves) traveling through Mirkwood must roll 1d6 each turn.<br />
On a roll <strong>of</strong> 1, or 1-2 if not on a road or path, the party<br />
encounters a force <strong>of</strong> 4 Giant Spiders. The spiders will<br />
immediately attack. If Giant Spiders are encountered, on a<br />
roll <strong>of</strong> 4+ they will be accompanied by a Spider Queen and<br />
3 spider swarms. The pr<strong>of</strong>iles for these creatures are<br />
shown below:<br />

Moria –<br />
Long ago the ancient Dwarf Kingdom was overrun by<br />
goblins and even fouler creatures. But to maintain his<br />
kingdom, the Goblin King must at all times keep the cave<br />
troll and at least 10 goblin figures inside Moria. Other goblin<br />
forces may freely exit through either the east or west gates.<br />
Other figures (except for the Fellowship) entering Moria<br />
must fight and defeat any Moria figures encountered each<br />
turn to pass through. To enter Moria from the west, a force<br />
must include either Gandalf or a Dwarven or Elven hero.<br />
The leader <strong>of</strong> the force must attempt to guess the<br />
password, succeeding on a d6 roll <strong>of</strong> 4+. Any encounter<br />
rolled for a force within 6‖ <strong>of</strong> the west gate is automatically<br />
the watcher. If it has not already attacked, the watcher will<br />
automatically attack any time the west gate is opened.<br />

Once inside, a party consisting solely <strong>of</strong> character figures<br />
may attempt to sneak through Moria. The western area is<br />
sparsely occupied, but the chances for discovery increase<br />
(the Pippin factor) as a party moves up and east. A party<br />
moving through Moria is discovered on a d6 roll <strong>of</strong> 1, with a<br />
–1 each turn after entry [to a maximum <strong>of</strong> –4]. Any goblin<br />
forces within Moria may attack on the turn following the<br />
detection <strong>of</strong> intruders.<br />
Cocoons - If the spiders win the combat, any paralyzed<br />
character figures are not lost but are cocooned in place,<br />
and must be rescued within 2 turns or they are permanently<br />
dead. If the spiders lose the combat, they disperse into the<br />
forest for a full turn.<br />
Moria is treated as rough terrain unless figures are goblins,<br />
dwarves or character figures lead by either Gimli or<br />
Gandalf. Any figure not meeting these requirements must<br />
roll each turn, falling <strong>of</strong>f a precipice on a d6 roll <strong>of</strong> 1.<br />
If the Fellowship is attacked prior to movement, and<br />
defeats the attackers (cuts their way through), they may still<br />
make their full move. At the beginning <strong>of</strong> each turn after<br />
fighting occurs, the Goblin player rolls 1d6 and on a 6 the<br />
Balrog appears to reinforce the evil figures. Unless he kills<br />
Gandalf or captures the ring, the Balrog may never leave<br />
Moria.<br />
Goblin swarms. The goblins are highly mobile within their<br />
underground lair and may attack from above and below as<br />
well as head on. Goblins are not restricted by the 6‖<br />
combat proximity limit. Goblins located anywhere within<br />
Moria may join in on any one combat. If assailed by two<br />
enemy forces, the goblin player must assign figures to one<br />
combat or the other—not both.<br />
Durin’s Axe lies hidden in Moria. On any turn where a<br />
dwarf hero is unengaged within Moria he may seek the<br />
axe, succeeding on a d6 result <strong>of</strong> ―6‖. Durin’s Axe makes it<br />
possible, though not probable, for a dwarf hero to slay the<br />
Balrog in single combat.<br />
