“The Goblins are upon you! Bolg of the North is coming, O Dain! whose father you slew in Moria. Behold! the bats are above his army like a sea of locusts. They ride upon wolves and Wargs are in their train!” —Gandalf, The Hobbit

When Revealed: Discard all resource tokens from characters in play. Add to the staging area Bolg and any Stage 3 enemies that were added to the Stage 6 pile. Set the Stage 6 objectives aside. Each player searches the Stage 6 pile for 2 different Army enemies and engages them. Shuffle the non-unique cards from the Stage 3 and Stage 6 piles together to form the encounter deck. Flip this card over and begin a new round.

Skip the quest and travel phase. Bolg is immune to player card effects and cannot leave the staging area (except by being destroyed).

Forced: At the end of the round, each player must either raise their threat by 5, or discard a hero they control.

When Bolg is destroyed, the players win the game. If B is 10 or more, each player earns the right to be able to put Master Burglar in play during the setup of future scenarios.
