I would drop the cost to 1. Smile

"two" should be "2". Neat card! Thumbs Up

Made a couple tweaks. Thanks, everyone!

Dáin’s DC Duos #230

Now, to close out the Orc culture, we FINALLY move on to the three monstrous trolls that Bilbo and the Dwarves encounter early in their quest, and that were so memorable they appeared in the following Lord of the Rings books AND films.

In my set, these trolls--Bert, Tom, and William--share some of the same qualities as other Trolls; they’re big, they’re expensive, but they get cost reductions by spotting certain things. However, just as the trio were pretty unlike the trolls we saw in later stories of Middle-Earth, these three have their own unique flavor. They have a couple pretty interesting possessions, and they’re also good at "copping" (or capturing, if you prefer) a couple of the opponent’s companions, usually by abandoning fighting.

Since there’s three, and each has two different versions, we’ll do them one at a time. So let’s start with their "leader". Enjoy! Mr. Green

10Bert, Hungry Troll Orc
Minion • Troll
Strength: 16
Vitality: 5
Site: 2
Fierce.
Bert’s twilight cost is -2 for each Troll you can spot.
While you can spot 2 Trolls, Bert is a lurker.
Each other Troll is strength +1 (or +2 if that Troll is Tom or William).
“‘Mutton yesterday, mutton today, and blimey, if it don’t look like mutton again tomorrer.’”

10Bert, Lout Orc
Minion • Troll
Strength: 15
Vitality: 5
Site: 2
Fierce.
Bert’s twilight cost is -2 for each Troll you can spot.
Each time a captured companion or ally is killed, you may heal a Troll.
Regroup: Exert Bert and remove 1 to exert a character you have captured.
“‘I don’t want to have me throat cut in me sleep. Hold his toes in the fire, till he talks!’”

Bert is the biggest of the three, and he’s the fierce one of the group. (You’ll understand better what I mean as we move through the other two.) Both versions work out okay with Trolls in general, but they’re even better with his companions from The Hobbit. The second version’s capturing stuff comes in especially handy with William...but you’ll have to wait a little longer to see HOW handy. Very Happy

I would make it exert him and remove 1. After all, they didn’t capture that Dwarves that easily. Razz

Sweet cards (GP), and I look forward to seeing Tom and William! Mr. Green

AP, they captured them pretty easily. They came up one at a time, and just put sacks over their heads. How much easier can you get? Nice card, though I’d have to see how easily you can capture people to know how good it is.

I was thinking of how Bert had a flaming brand shoved in his eye and one of Tom’s teeth was knocked out. Just my Two Cents, though. Thumbs Up

Thanks, everyone. Made a slight tweak to the first one, as recommended by SoP.

Dáin’s DC Duos #231

Now it’s Tom’s turn. He’s the lurker of the trio, and he also has the lowest vitality. But unlike Bert and William, he works equally well with ALL Trolls, meaning he’s the one you’re most likely to splash in with any ol’ Troll strategy.

And here he is. Enjoy!

8Tom, Grumbler Orc
Minion • Troll
Strength: 16
Vitality: 4
Site: 2
Lurker.
Tom’s twilight cost is -2 for each Troll you can spot.
Each time a Troll wins a skirmish, you may exert Tom twice to exert a character in that skirmish.
Each time a Troll loses a skirmish, you may exert Tom to add 1.
“‘Never a blinking bit of manflesh have we had for long enough....and the drink runnin’ short, what’s more.’”

8Tom, Booby Orc
Minion • Troll
Strength: 16
Vitality: 4
Site: 2
Lurker.
Tom’s twilight cost is -2 for each Troll you can spot.
While you can spot a Hobbit and a Dwarf, Tom is fierce.
While you can spot more Dwarves than Trolls, each Troll is fierce (or damage +1 if that Troll is already fierce).
“‘There’s more to come yet, or I’m mighty mistook. Lots and none at all, it is. No burra-hobbits, but lots of these here dwarves.’”

why the less cost if he has more strength?

Because he has less vitality than Tom (and William, for that matter), AND he doesn’t start out fierce like Tom does. Big difference.
