That needs the obligatory accompanying Captain Picard photo.
So are we on to combat then?
Almost. We just need to draw one last card.
It's another Great Forest Web.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So that brings our new additions to the Staging Area to:
Great Forest Web
Type: Location
Threat: 2
Quest Points: 2
Forest.
Travel: Each player must exhaust 1 hero he controls to travel here.
Ungoliant's Spawn
Type: Enemy
Threshold: 32
Threat: 3
Attack: 5
Defense: 2
Hit Points: 9
Creature. Spider.
When Revealed: Each character currently committed to a quest gets -1 Wilpower until the end of the phase.
Dol Guldur Orcs
Type: Enemy
Threshold: 10
Threat: 2
Attack: 2
Defense: 0
Hit Points: 3
Dol Guldur. Orc.
When Revealed: The first player chooses 1 character currently committed to a quest. Deal 2 damage to that character.
Great Forest Web
Type: Location
Threat: 2
Quest Points: 2
Forest.
Travel: Each player must exhaust 1 hero he controls to travel here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of Ungoliant's Spawn, our willpower is reduced to 8. The total threat is now 14. We're missing by 6.
I'd be willing to feed a card to Eowyn to reduce this a little. Anyone else with me?
Also, how are we to deal with the two new monsters? I have Aragorn free if anyone wants an extra blocker.
I'll try to get all of this on the main post momentarily.
