When Revealed: Each player distributes 13 barrel tokens among player cards they control (you may use progress tokens as barrel tokens). Discard each non-Baggins hero that does not have 2 barrel tokens on itself. Discard each ally and player attachment that does not have 1 barrel token on itself. If all characters remaining in play are unique, earn Drowner of Friends. If all attachments remaining in play are non-restricted, earn Barrel-rider. Flip this card over.

Resolution: If there is at least 1 resource on Smaug the Wealthy, earn Thror’s Golden Cup. If there are at least 4 resources on Smaug the Wealthy, also earn The Arkenstone. Remove Smaug the Wealthy from the game and advance to the next stage.
