Dismayed by Terror
Event • Response
If a companion exerts, exert a minion to add [X], where X is that minion’s remaining vitality.
“…and he felt only the beating upon him of a great power from outside.”
180
I guess

Garrison of Morgul
Minion • Orc
Minion-11
Vitality-3
Roaming-5
Each time the Free Peoples player plays an event, add .
While you can spot 8 twilight tokens, this minion is damage +1.
“All that host was clad in sable, dark as the night.”
C182
cool

It Has Begun
Event • Maneuver
Spot a minion and a Free Peoples condition with twilight cost X to add [X].
“Already the hour had struck, and at his great Master’s bidding he must march with war into the West.”
184
it works.

City of the Nazgul
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a minion.
At the start of the regroup phase, if you can spot a minion, you may spot the Ring-bearer with strength X and remove [X] to add a burden.
“The luminous tower fascinated him, and he fought the desire that was on him to run up the gleaming road towards its gate.”
R179
each regroup phase

Piercing Heart and Mind
Event • Regroup
Spot 2 Orcs (or spot a Nazgûl) and spot a companion to reveal the Free Peoples player’s hand. Discard each card of that companion’s culture.
“…as if some force were at work other than his own will, he began to hurry, tottering forward, his groping hands held out, his head lolling from side to side.”
C201
its worthless. 7 cost to discard a few cards? most of his cards should have been played before now. cut cost to 1-2

Leading the Host
Event • Regroup
Spot a Nazgûl and a Orc to play the fellowship’s next site. Play X Orcs (each at twilight cost –X) from your discard pile, where X is the shadow number of that site.
“Soon he had passed, like a shadow into shadow, down the winding road, and behind him still the black ranks crossed the bridge.”
U186

I made one more edit to Piercing Heart and Mind which should make it a bit better (I removed the second cost of spotting a wounded companion).

The votes are in... here’s the first look at scounting rangers!

Once more, here’s the scouting keyword:
Scouting (While the only possessions borne by bearer are scouting possessions, Free Peoples cards borne by bearer may not be discarded by Shadow cards).

Also, remember that any companion bearing *only* scouting possessions is considered to be scouting himself (and can be targeted as a scouting companion).

•Faramir, Captain in the Glade
Companion • Man
Strength-6
Vitality-3
Resistance-8
Ring-bound. Ranger.
Each time you play another ranger, you may exert Faramir to make that ranger’s twilight cost -1.
For each scouting possession Faramir bears, he is strength +1.
“‘Not while Faramir is Captain. He leads now in all perilous ventures. But his life is charmed, or fate spares him for some other end.’”
R68

Loses 1 base strength, but has the potential to climb much higher. This Faramir also has the potential to help choke (and at the same time opens up new possibilities for a starting fellowship). He’s the core of a good scouting deck.

Aragorn, Strider, Madril, Defender of Osgiliath and any 2 Ithilien Scouts in you starting fellowship in your starting fellowship, nice

Doughty Men
Event • Skirmish
Make a scouting companion strength +1 for each other scouting companion you spot.
“…their faces were hooded and masked with green, except for their eyes, which were very keen and bright.”
C67

Working with each other is vital when in the lands of the enemy. This card is simple and effective.

nice

Ithilien Scout
Companion • Man
Strength-5
Vitality-3
Resistance-6
Ranger.
While this companion is scouting, he may not be overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled.
“They marveled to see with what speed these green-clad men now moved, vanishing almost in the twinkling of an eye.”
C75

The grunt. He can be played for free with Faramir, Captain in the Glade and is pretty solid if built up with possessions correctly.

insane with armor, but still relativly balanced

Ithilien Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Scouting. Bearer must be a ranger.
You may exert a ranger to play this possession on that ranger any time you could play a maneuver or skirmish event. If you do, exert a minion.
A short blade for a quick bite.
U76

Here’s the first look at a scouting possession. Loses a bit in the strength area, but gains the ability to ambush an unsuspecting minion.

hmm, the lore could be improved and please raise the strength by 1

And speaking of ambushing...

The Road May Pass
Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 scouting companions to wound a minion. Then wound a minion for each other scouting companion you can spot.
“‘…but they shall not!’”
R80

If you can get set up, this card turns into 3 or 4 free wounds to go where you want them. I can’t think of better maneuver wounding, since this card requires only that you tank up your fellowship with scouting possessions.

nice

More scouting dudes next time!
