Soon the attackers were attacked, and they were forced into a great ring, facing every way, hemmed all about with goblins and wolves returning to the assault. The bodyguard of Bolg came howling against them, and drove in upon their ranks like waves upon cliffs of sand. –The Hobbit

When Revealed: Each player must search the encounter deck and discard pile for a copy of Bodyguard of Bolg and add it to the staging area, if able. Shuffle the encounter deck.

Progress cannot be placed in this stage. While Bolg is in the staging area, it is considered to be engaged with the first player.

If Bolg is destroyed, the players win the game.
