The party are to travel with Radigast to Dol Guldor. Unfortunately 2 people couldn't make the session, and they were the two main tanks. So we ran one of them anyway just to give the party some hitting power.
For this session I experimented with a version of my Mapping Cards idea (see https://www.flynnkd.com/home/mapping-cards). I put together three decks, one a places deck, one a Monster deck, and the last an Encounter Type deck. This simulated the journey to Dol Goldur, using a set of broadly described locations and events. One of the places they might find was a small dungeon type adventure, which I ran on the table with a tiles set I have.
For the most part it was okay. They didn't get very far into things as the evening felt a little slow (been raining a lot here). They managed to draw the Dungeon card and delved into that, getting to the main boss and obtaining a new set of heavy mail armour as a reward.
Nothing really exciting, maybe I need to throw more challenging stuff at them, it feels like they are cruising. hmmmm.
