Setup: Arrange the quest cards into three separate quest decks: 1A-3A, 1C-3C, and 1E-3E. Create three separate staging area, one for each quest. Give each stage its own encounter deck.

Each other team removes their copy of Annúminas from the game. Flip over all 3 Setup cards and place 1 next to each quest deck.

If it cannot move, discard it and deal 9 damage to Annúminas."

If the last player at a stage is eliminated, the enemy has broken through the city's defenses and all teams lose the game.
