When Brian Stephens played the Lord of the Rings board game, he was annoyed by the fact that there was no scenario board for the trip from Bag End to Rivendell, thus avoiding Bombadil and Frodo being stabbed by the Nazgul.

So he created the following scenario for use as an expansion to the game.

Bag End to Rivendell
The Hobbits leave Bag End and trek to Rivendell
by Brian Stephens

Note: If using this scenario, Sauron should start at fifteen on the corruption track.

Also when the ring-bearer begins preparations in Bag End, he should receive three cards per player (not four cards).
