After a tiring pursuit through the treacherous marshland, you have cornered Gollum, and move in for the capture.

Forced: After this stage is defeated, the first player chooses a player. That player must pass an Escape test, dealing 1 card from the encounter deck for each resource token on Gollum, to capture him. If Gollum is not captured at this time, reset the quest deck to stage 1B.

If this final Escape test is passed, the players have captured Gollum and won the game.
