Your investigation has led you to a man known as “Orc-eyes”, a high-ranking official in some sort of secret organization. “You’re poking your nose where it doesn’t belong, stranger,” he snarls, with a dangerous look in his eye.

When Revealed: Reveal a card from the Scheme Deck. Add Orc-eyes to the staging area. If the people of Bree control the town, each player either reduces their threat by 3 or chooses 1 character they control and heals all damage from it.

Forced: At the beginning of the combat phase, the first player must choose: either Orc-eyes makes an immediate attack against them or raise each player’s threat by 2.

Forced: After a Scheme side quest is defeated, if there are 3 Scheme side quests in the victory display, advance to stage 3A. Otherwise, reveal a card from the Scheme Deck.
