Play Tips:
Just keep the starting company together as long as necessary. They’re safer that way. Firiel can be your VoM-queen, and asternak with both horn and blazon can be the influence monster (+8 = auto for all). Split the horn off and give it to Faramir if you’re afraid of Asternak getting Adunaphel’d. If possible, get 2 protected wiz:H:s and drop Await the Onset for a big 5 MPs. 2 Guardeds and Trove should make that possible.
