Only two more  Duos to go. And here’s one of them!
Dáin’s DC Duos #187
Here’s the last Spider minion (the biggest one of all), and the last direct reference to capturing in the culture. Next time we’ll close the Spiders out with a couple brutal conditions, then move on to...whatever’s next!
Enjoy!
 • Spider Swarm
Minion • Spider
Strength: 10
Vitality: 7
Site: 7
Enduring. Fierce.
Spider Swarm’s twilight cost is -1 for each unique Spider you can spot.
While you can spot 2 threats, Spider Swarm is damage +1.
While you can spot 4 threats, Spider Swarm may not take wounds except during skirmishes.
“...the whole lot of them came hurrying after the hobbit along the ground and the branches, hairy legs waving, nippers and spinners snapping, eyes popping, full of froth and rage.”
You could probably cut the cost reduction, as this is the same cost as Shelob for what is debatably a better minion.
Eat your black heart out, Shelob! The Swarm can pump up just as big as Shelob ever could, and comes with some powerful text, too. It can be a little hard to play since it’s so cost-prohibitive, but thrown in a Swarming event from the last Duo and things can get MUCH easier. 
 Air Full of Weaving Snares
Event • Response
If a Spider wins a skirmish, discard it and spot X Spiders to capture a companion in that skirmish with a twilight cost of (X) or less.
“As quick as lightning they came running and swinging towards the hobbit, flinging out their long threads in all directions....”
It works. |

I think that all the time myself, but then I have to remind myself...Shelob actually costs  , not . All the OTHER 8s on her confuse me. 
But if you still think I should drop the cost reduction, I certainly can. |

Alrighty then! Seems like the majority are happy with the cards, so I’ll leave them as they are, costs and all. Thanks to everyone who reviewed!
Dáin’s DC Duos #188
Well, once again, this culture seemed to just fly by, but after this, we are finished with , both the FP and Shadow sides. Hope you’ve enjoyed the new culture. Don’t be too sad, though: is dotted throughout all my sets, and actually gets a pretty big role in the next two after this, so it’s not going away completely. 
Anyway, to close things out, here’s a couple very powerful cards for the Spiders. Better not let them sting you when they get close! Enjoy!
Sick and Weary
Condition • Support Area
Strength -1
Vitality -1
Resistance -1
Response: If a Spider wins a skirmish, transfer this condition from your support area to a Free Peoples character in that skirmish. Limit 1 per character.
Each Spider skirmishing bearer is strength +1 for each wound on bearer.
At the start of each regroup phase, discard a Spider or this condition.
“Down the dwarves scrambled or jumped or dropped...most of them very shaky and little use on their legs.”
Poisoned
Possession • Support Area
Strength -2
Resistance -1
Skirmish: Remove a threat or a burden to transfer this possession to a companion skirmishing a Spider. Limit 1 per bearer.
Each time the Free Peoples player uses one of bearer’s special abilities, bearer must exert.
At the start of each regroup phase, discard a Spider or this possession.
“...he was feeling very sick and ill from spider-poison....” |
