Assault on the Ringwraiths' Lair
"The baileys of Dol Guldur are highly fortified, nearly impenetrable, and the finest of the Enemy's soldiers defend within. But before the rest of the fortress can be assaulted, these must be taken...."
Background
Taking the baileys of Dol Guldur will leave the interior defences weak and vulnerable.
