Well Bill was pretty popular, so here’s a special blade and an event to go with it. Enjoy!
•Sting, Elven-knife
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Bilbo or Frodo.
At the start of each skirmish involving bearer, you may exert him (or add if there is an Orc involved in that skirmish) to play a skirmish event from your draw deck.
“Then he drew it, and its polished and well-tended blade glittered suddenly, cold and bright.”
One For The Shire!
Event • Skirmish
Exert a Hobbit bearing a weapon to exert a minion (or wound a minion if that weapon is unique).
“‘The hobbit’s bite is deep! You have a good blade, Frodo son of Drogo!’” |

Artifact • Armor
Bearer must be Frodo or Bilbo.
The minion archery total is -1. Each minion skirmishing bearer loses all strength and damage bonuses from weapons.
Response: If bearer is about to take any number of wounds, exert bearer to prevent all wounds to him until the end of the current phase.
“‘I have never seen or heard tell of one so fair. Is this the coat that Gandalf spoke of? Then he undervalued it. But it was well given!’”
Very nice. Reflective of the purpose the Mithril-coat served in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Possession • Cloak
Resistance +1
Bearer must be a Hobbit.
“They had been locked up as if they were very precious, but they were so patched and weatherstained that their original colour could hardly be guessed: it might have been dark green. They were rather too large for him.”
I would shorten it to Bilbo’s Cloak and maybe add: "While bearer is unwounded, the minion archery total is -1." Something minor that would still keep the cost at .
DáinIronfoot wrote: ![0](images/smiles/0-twilight.gif) • Bill the Pony, Tenth Companion
Possession • Support Area
Discard Bill the Pony when at an underground site or if you cannot spot a Hobbit companion.
Fellowship: If there are fewer than 3 cards stacked here, add ![1](images/smiles/1-twilight.gif) to stack a possession here from hand, from a companion, or from a ![Shire](images/smiles/shire.gif) or ![Gandalf](images/smiles/gandalf.gif) ally.
Maneuver: Add ![1](images/smiles/1-twilight.gif) to play a possession stacked here as if played from hand.
“So Bill was going as the beast of burden, yet he was the only member of the Company that did not seem depressed.”
Hmm...
I would prefer that Bill the Pony remain a mount. Perhaps you could make a condition that went along with this card and have it stack the cards from hand there. That would be cool.

Awesome! This could come in handy in times of need. I wish Sam could bear it, but since this is a Fellowship of the Ring expansion, I can why he was excluded. Still, it’s very tempting with that awesome, -demanding text...

i believe you can word it "or add if skirmishing an Orc". i like the idea, awfully powerful, it will absolutely kill Orc decks, get this at site 1, and you can play every event in your draw deck. talk about cycling, use frodo in a dwarven cycling deck assign frodo to a skirmish, and take out all your events, and you’ll almost be rid of your fellowship cards. let the dwarves do the rest. now that i think about it, i’d make it just exert with no Orc hate. good card!

Before we move on, a note on Bill. Only one of the two versions thus far is a mount. The other (from the Fellowship block) is just a regular possession that is borne by a Hobbit. This is essentially the same as that version, as it can’t exist without a Hobbit (essentially being borne by them). I would prefer that it actually be borne by a Hobbit myself, but since that won’t work with the abilities, I think that this is okay as is. Adds a new twist.
Speaking of ponies, here’s another for the Hobbits, and it’s more of a typical pony. Enjoy!
Hobbit Pony
Possession • Mount
Bearer must be an unbound Hobbit.
Discard this mount when at an underground site.
Each time the fellowship moves during the regroup phase, you may add to heal bearer.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to cancel a skirmish involving bearer. Any Shadow player may remove a burden or 2 threats to prevent this.

sure. the skirmish ability doesn’t seem quite right, maybe discard the possession to cancel a skirmish, the opponent may remove burdens or threats or something to prevent it. |

One more card for today. Enjoy!
•The Road Goes Ever On and On
Condition • Support Area
Tale.
Fellowship: If the fellowship is at a dwelling site, spot 2 Hobbits to play the fellowship’s next site (replacing an opponent’s site if necessary). Discard this condition (or spot Bilbo to place this condition beneath your draw deck).
