Saruman The Grey

Saruman The Grey is a random event.

In the event, you can make one of the following choices:
 * Move backwards: Saruman has orcs take you back 8-15 spaces.
 * Become incapacitated: You become Incapacitated.
 * Receive a Lesser Curse: Saruman casts a spell on you to give you a random Curse from the generic Lesser Curse-givers pool.
 * The Curse can be blocked with spell immunity or spell protection.


 * If you have an Improbability Device, it can be used before making one of the above choices to change this event into Saruman The White.


 * Choosing an option while Dead simply makes you leave the event.
