The Lord of the Rings Card Game: The Battle of Lake-town

Every vessel in the town was filled with water, every warrior was armed, every arrow and dart was ready, and the bridge to the land was thrown down and destroyed, before the roar of Smaugâs terrible approach grew loud, and the lake rippled red as fire beneath the awful beating of his wings. âJ.R.R.
