Awesome cards, Dain. All three are great. I wouldn’t change a thing. GP for an excellent batch of cards. Great way to define the new Cave Troll strategy. |

The cave troll grabbed a discarded Dwarven spear from the floor of the Chamber of Mazarbul as it bore down on Frodo....
OUCHEY...almost instant death. cool!
 • Cave Troll’s Chain, The Beast’s Whip
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be a  Troll.
This weapon may be borne in addition to 1 other hand weapon.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to exert a companion.
Normally used by its keyward to keep it in check, the chain fastened to the cave troll became a deadly weapon when the beast was unleashed.
Joy to the world, the beast is dead, we barbecued its head... I think beast just isn’t the best in the subtitle....
Thrust Forward
Event • Skirmish
Exert a  Orc or  Troll bearing a hand weapon to exert a companion skirmishing that minion (or wound that companion if that minion bears 2 weapons). Then you may exert that minion to take this event back into hand.

A couple more for our little troll as we begin to shift back to goblins. Enjoy!
Cracked and Staggered Back
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +2 (or +4 if that minion has 3 or more vitality).
“There was a blow on the door that made it quiver; and then it began to grind slowly open, driving back the wedges.”
Notched Blade
Event • Skirmish
Make a companion skirmishing a minion lose all strength and damage bonuses from weapons. If that skirmish involves a Troll, you may remove to exert a companion in that skirmish.
“Boromir leaped forward and hewed at the arm with all his might; but his sword rang, glanced aside, and fell from his shaken hand.” |

Probably needs to be "Remove to exert..." but beyond that, good one. |

The first one doesn’t work with your beserker strategy. I think I’d prefer a +4 if they have 2 or 3 wounds on them.

Fair enough, sound event.

Better if used with the troll on its own only slightly useful.

I decided to leave Cracked and Staggered Back as-is, but here’s a new card following Thran’s suggestion:
Stirred to Violent Anger
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +2 for each wound on that minion.
“...he stooped, and stabbed with Sting at the hideous foot. There was a bellow, and the foot jerked back, nearly wrenching Sting from Frodo’s arm. Black drops dripped from the blade and smoked on the floor.” |
