## Description
If you've already ventured through the lands of Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition), get ready for more excitement with The Trollfens expansion! This beauty adds a bunch of new stuff to make your campaigns even more epic. Now heroes can snoop around secret rooms and uncover mysterious rumors, while the Overlord spreads a sinister plague and summons a giant, terrifying troll lieutenant named Bol'Goreth! 

Speaking of heroes, meet Roganna the Shade, a super cunning and fast scout, and Augur Grisom, a healer who brings hope and is rumored to even see the future. To power up the crew, there are two new classes: the Stalker, a trap master for those who enjoy being a Scout, and the Prophet, a Healer who uses their mind to boost allies. Monsters also get reinforcements with Plague Worms and Harpies, but Bol'Goreth is the main boss, a brute troll who destroys everything and takes a beating like no other. Oh, and the Overlord gets a new specialization, the Infector, focused on spreading disease and chaos. 

With The Trollfens, you add more challenges, new strategies, and that touch of horror with the monsters and the giant troll. If you enjoy Descent and want more content for your adventures, this expansion is a feast for those who aren't afraid of a good challenge and facing evil head-on. It's time to roll the dice and see who survives!
