1.  Eowyns ability: Each player may discard a card, doesnt it mean if its a 2 players game, she can get +2 will in 1 round?

2. Can 'book of mazarbul' be discarded by the card effect of 'hidden threat'(the last player discards an attachment he controls) ?

Is the quest attachment considered to be controlled by an attached character? Is a treachery attachment with an negative effect attached on a character considered to be 'controlled' by the player?

1. yes

2. looking at the card im not sure- its an objective that doesnt say 'counts as an attatchment' nor does it say its 'controlled' by the player

so id say no

if a card says 'discard an attatchment' then i think you can indeed get rid of a negative card attatchment on you, but one you control has to be one you either put into play or one that says you specifically get control of it

Thank you rich. It nice that you are still here. I turned to play arkham horror(which is a good solo game aslo) last month and i am back now.

By the way, does Thalin deal 1 damage to each enemy added at the end of the staging step? (Quest 2B The Fate of Balin)

Every enemy that is revealed between commiting Thalin and the end ofthe quest phase gets the damage.

Thank you. Now i totally understand. This quest is not easy for me since enemies keep coming out and i have not enough allies to defend every one of them.

 1 question : when thalin kills an Eastern Crows card or A Suspicius Crow etc card with his ability do the when reveald surge etc effects still take place ?

The Sacks do not say they count as attachment either, and still the hobbit rulebook explains in the example that you can't put them on Beorn, as he can't get attachments.

@cutievalkyrie- no problem…pleased youre back :)

@iznax - no they do not happen

@ darkpact- in either case i would still say no, whether attatchment or not you would still have to control it

I thought players did control objective cards.   From the FAQ:

Also, any card that attaches to another card is considered an attachment.

Now we v got a different idea…

For those who like longer answers… Surge and Thalin-"When an encounter card with the surge keyword is revealed during the staging step of the quest phase or in setup, reveal 1 additional card from the encounter deck. Resolve the surge keyword immediately after resolving any when revealed effects on the card."

So it goes when revealed on card-surge-any responses. but Thalin activates before "when revaled" so "When an enemy card is revealed from the encounter deck, Thalin’s ability resolves before any keyword or “When Revealed” card effects on the encounter card"

For the control question RAW says Players do not gain control of encounter cards unless control of the card is explicitly granted by a card effect. When an encounter card (such as Caught in a Web, CORE 86) becomes an attachment and attaches to a character, that character’s controller does not gain control of the attachment.(1.07) Control of Objective CardsWhen a player claims an objective card, he gains control of that card unless otherwise directed by a card effect. so unless the quest card uses the word claim it is not under control of the player. I would advise an errata to always claim objectives granted by quest cards. but for now…

and this Any card that attaches to another card is treated as an Attachment in addition to its other card types.The “Attach to…” rules text on an attachment is only a play restriction, and is not taken into account after the card is already attached. Which means several things "No Attachments" means no card can be attached, and abnormal ways cards get attached still have an effect. Nameless things can get trapped for example
