The Lady Galadriel of L贸rien has asked you to investigate the area in the vicinity of Dol Guldar. While doing so, one of your allies was ambushed by Orcs, captured, and is now held in a dungeon cell...
Setup: Search the encounter deck for the 3 objective cards, reveal and place them in the staging area. Also, place the Nazg没l of Dol Guldur face up but out of play, alongside the quest deck. Then, shuffle the encounter deck, and attach 1 encounter to each objective card.
When Revealed: Randomly select 1 hero card (among all the heroes controlled by the players) and turn it facedown. The hero is now considered a "prisoner", cannot be used, cannot be damaged, and does not collect resources, until it is "rescued" (as instructed by card effects) later in this quest.
The players, as a group, cannot play more than 1 ally card each round.
Players cannot advance to the next stage of this quest unless they have at least 1 objective card.

You are playing Nightmare mode.
Forced: When stage 1B is revealed, the number of random heroes captured is determined by the number of players, as follows: 1-2 players = 1 hero captured, 3 players = 2 heroes captured, 4 players = 3 heroes captured. All captured heroes are turned face down and considered "the prisoner," cannot be used, cannot be damaged, and do not collect resources until they are rescued, (A single player cannot have more than 1 hero captured by this effect.)
Begin with the standard quest deck and encounter deck for the Escape from Dol Guldur scenario found in the LOTR LCG core set.

3x Mountains of Mirkwood
2x Caught in a Web
1x The Necromancer's Reach
1x Necromancer's Pass

Then, shuffle the encounter cards in this Nightmare Deck into the remainder of the standard Escape from Dol Guldur encounter deck.
