Still searching for the Sceptre of Fire
I'm not having a problem surviving the "Sceptre of Fire" scenario in HttT, or even leveling units (care for some Dwarven Lords, anyone?). No, my problem is that I can't find the damn Sceptre in 45 turns! I get to the last turn, having explored 2/3 to 3/4ths of the map, without seeing it! Any suggestions for how I can find it?

I typically recruit enough to build two sets of forces, one to the northwest and one to the northeast. Typically the one that hits the trolls doesn't get as far north as the other.

The map is generated randomly, so it's possible (although rare) that the scepter gets placed in some odd location. If you really can't find it, I'd suggest starting the scenario again from the beginning, that'll cause the map to be regenerated and quite likely the scepter to be placed in some easier location.

I've already done that two or three times now. Guess I have to keep trying.

I have two 3d level dwarven lords and a few dwarven fighters with experience. Unfortunately, I'm short on healers; all I have are an Elvish Druid and the 1st level Elvish Shamans (none of my leveled mages survived to this point, unfortunately). I usually recall all of the above and recruit about 12-15 dwarven fighters, and try to split Delfie, Conrad (who have have up to level 3 and about 71 hit points), Kalenz (also level 3 and about 67 hit points) and Li'sar reasonably between the parties.

Sounds solid to me, I just used to rely on dwarven stalwarts and then sentinels, they're good for fighting trolls because of steadfast. Good luck with finding the Sceptre, it can be a bugger.

Actually, I just succeeded in getting the Sceptre--on turn 27! Thanks for the helpful comments.
