Forced: Before Patrol Leader is dealt damage, discard the top card of the encounter deck. If the discarded card is an enemy, cancel that damage.

Forced: After East-gate leaves play as an explored location, add First Hall to the staging area.
Travel: Each player must raise his threat by 3 to travel here.
Forced: After First Hall leaves play as an explored location, add Bridge of Khazad-d没m to the staging area.
While Bridge of Khazad-d没m is the active location, players cannot play cards.
Travel: The first player must exhaust 1 character he controls to travel here.
Shadow: Defending player must choose and exhaust 1 character he controls.
Setup: Search the encounter deck for East-gate and Cave Torch. Put East-gate into play as the active location, and have the first player attach Cave Torch to a hero of his choice. Set First Hall and Bridge of Khazad-d没m aside, out of play. Shuffle the encounter deck.
You have been sent by the White Council to Moria, to deliver a message to Balin and his Dwarven colony. No one has heard from him in a while.
When Revealed: Reveal 1 encounter card per player, and add it to the staging area.
Player cannot advance to the next stage of the scenario unless Bridge of Khazad-d没m is in their victory display.
The doors of the East–gate hang crooked on their henges. The darkness inside the doorway is still and impenetrable, shutting out the last beams of a sinking sun.
The skeletons of Dwarves and Orcs lie undisturbed, but you have discovered no recent sign of the Dwarven colony. The sound of scampering feet travels to your ears, and you move in that direction to investigate. There is a patrol of Goblins, marching in a loose formation through the shadows.
When Revealed: Each player must search the encounter deck and discard pile for 1 enemy of his choice, and add it to the staging area. One choice must be Patrol Leader, if able.
Forced: After an enemy is revealed from the encounter deck, discard it instead of adding it to the staging area.
If there are no enemies in play, immediately advance to the next stage of the scenario. (Players can also advance by placing 11 progress tokens on Goblin Patrol.)
You have captured a member of the patrol, and press the wounded Goblin for information about the Dwarves. It gives a nasty laugh, and with a mouthful of blood spits out "Balin can be found in the chamber of records!" It can say no more.
Heroes do not collect resources during the resource phase.
If players defeat this stage, they win the game.
