Thanks, AC. for tackling all those.

Thanks to those who reviewed the last Duo, too. Much appreciated!

Dáin’s DC Duos #118

Down to only six (maybe seven) more Duos for the culture. I know, that’s still a pretty decent number, but I can’t believe we’re even THAT close. The culture is HUGE in Lasting Alliances, so getting this far in this amount of time is quite a feat, I do say. Thanks for all the reviews, everyone!

Due to my greed for more reviews yesterday , I didn’t get a Duo up for...well, I think the first time since I started them here. Horrors.

Shame! Shame!

So, to make it up, here’s a couple of the most powerful goblins the culture has ever seen. (One comment: note their site number before you nail me for the rather low costs. ) I was holding them in reserve to post closer to the end, but I think a missed day merits doing it now. Enjoy!

•Bolg, Goblin of the North
Minion • Orc
Strength: 10
Vitality: 3
Site: 8
Lurker. Hunter 3.
Each other Orc is strength +1.
Esch time Bolg takes a wound, remove or discard a Orc.
Skirmish: Exert Bolg to make a Orc damage +1.
“‘The Goblins are upon you! Bolg of the North is coming.’”

Maybe make it remove .

Bodyguard of Bolg
Minion • Orc
Strength: 11
Vitality: 2
Site: 8
Fierce. Damage +1. Hunter 1.
To play, spot a unique Orc.
When you play this minion, you may exert it to play a possession on it from your draw deck.
“...goblins of huge size with scimitars of steel.”

Do something to neutralize Bolg’s dwarback text. That would be sweet. Like each time Bolg is about to take a wound, add .

“Already behind him among the goblin dead lay many men and many dwarves, and many a fair elf that should have lived yet long ages merrily in the wood. And as the valley widened his onset grew ever slower.”

•Crossed and Tangled
Condition • Support Area
Response: If the fellowship moves to an underground site, you may exert a minion to make the move limit -1 (to a minimum of 1) for this turn.

A Forging and An Arming
Event • Maneuver

Exert a minion to reveal the top X cards of your draw deck, where X is the number of underground and mountain sites you can spot. You may then play any cards revealed. Replace each remaining cards in the same order.
“Then they marched and gathered by hill and valley, going ever by tunnel or under dark, until around and beneath the great mountain Gundabad of the North, where was their capital, a vast host was assembled ready to sweep down in time of storm unawares upon the South.”

overpowered, it would totally kill any deck, because you could force your opponent to single move every turn, double move once and win. it would take some work, but it’s still overpowered.
