The cost to play each player card is increased by 1.

Forced: When this stage is defeated, search the encounter deck and discard pile for a Troll enemy and put it into play engaged with the player with the highest threat. Each player may play a card from his hand, at no cost.

You risk drawing the attention of nearby Trolls by venturing into their lair. Perhaps inside you can find supplies to help you get back to Rivendell...
