Redo: Temple of the Deceived

Victory on the second attempt!
Victory on the third attempt!

The Journey & Recap

My first time around beating Temple of the Deceived came with the realization that I had missplayed Jungle Path and traveled to a location I should not have been allowed to. While it looked like my victory would not have been affected, I felt it was worth a shot redoing this one. Plus, I love the unique layout of this quest.

This attempt was pretty uneventful and quick (if fighting off the Temple  Guardian three times can be uneventful). I started off at a Drowned Graves, moved to a Winding Caverns, and hopped right over to a Cursed Temple. After that I moved to a Temple Halls, then down to The Grotto's Entrance. No Jagged Cliff/Jungle Path shenanigans to worry about.

A fun moment was being at the Cursed Temple, with it's downside of keeping everyone but Eowyn tapped down, and having a ready Eomund to block with, die, and ready his friends. Then, just a few rounds later, the quest ended with a very Rohanesque casting of Astonishing Speed as our heroes and allies galloped off to victory!

The Deck

My Rohan horse deck was a blast to play the fist time I journeyed around the island. I did want to add a few more mounts, such as A-Rod and Winfola. Songs were also conspicuously missing from the deck the first time around (I did not think of the implications of those with Elfelm's ability). Perfectly refined? Not yet. Fun? Yup. It doesn't spam the allies, like my usual preferred plan, but gives you just the right number while watching Eowyn & Eomer do their respective things.
