Breaking of the Fellowship

[nigel]

Sorry if this has been covered - couldn't find it in the FAQ and the master event card list didn't clarify either

How does Breaking of the Fellowship work if Gollum is the Guide?

Do you:

A. Just apply 1 corruption

B. Draw a hunt tile, discard it and if it's not an eye/fellowship special tile then apply a corruption

C. Draw a hunt tile, discard it and then apply a point of corruption

D. Some other combination I've not thought of!

It all depends what bit of the card text the ' If Gollum is the Guide apply a point of corruption instead' applies to.

I think (and I've always played so) that instead refers to the whole text above, because it seems to me "overpriced" to trade an action die, an avent card and a Hunt tile for just 1 corruption point.
There are other cards whose effect triggers on gollum: think to "Candles of Corpses". If it was as, e.g., your "C." possibility, and you roll three "6", you'd get the bomb of 6 corruption points (and in that card it's not written instead either)!. So, I think wording should always be interpreted a kind of "fairly", don't know if you catch what I mean...

Yes, if Gollum is the guide you "just" add one Corruption.
