Progression 8: Khazâd-Dûm

Time for part 8, the first deluxe box of the Progression Series! Last time, I brought Gollum to King Thranduil in Return to Mirkwood and managed to pull off the challenge for that quest. (For more information on that see here: https://ringsdb.com/fellowship/view/11695/progresion7returntomirkwood)

Starting now, while still adhering to the rules for my progression series, I will also be trying as much as possible to make thematic decks with minor deviations. This is the way I like to play the most, so this should definitely provide an extra layer of challenge as my card pool deepens.

This time, I will be attempting to beat the three quests in the Khazad-Dum box while also completing at least one challenge for each quest. To see the full rules for my progression series see the first fellowship here: https://ringsdb.com/fellowship/view/11104/progression1thecoreset

Today's challenges:

Into the Pit:

1. Use the Cave Torch objective every round, if possible.

The Seventh Level:

1. Stage 2A gains, "When Revealed: Search the encounter deck and discard pile for a Cave Troll and add it to the staging area if able.
2. Stage 2B gains, "The players cannot win while there are more than X enemies in play, where X is one less than the number of players in the game."

Flight from Moria:

1. Clear at least five quest stage 2 cards.

Please feel free to leave any comment or challenge suggestion for the next pack, as I approach The Redhorn Gate!
