Just wanted to check how venom is supposed to work (as I'm just going to try "Flies and Spiders" for the first time.

The rules insert for On The Doorstep says that whenever an enemy with venom damages a charatcer, give them 1 poison. Based on the subsequent rules about becoming "Unconscious" if you have poison equal to your hit points, I assume that the poison must be instead of normal damage tokens, otherwise this could never occur - but nowhere (that I can spot) does it say that this is the case.

Does anyone have a clarification (or am i missing something in the rulebook/faq) - if a character is damaged by an enemy with Venom, do they get a damage token and a poison, or just a poison?

Venom tokens is reperesent by the top player deck card which one you must to put under chrachter(picture facedown) who receive a damage from enemy with a venom keyword. So character get damage tokens for damage and venom tokens (top player deck card under this characters) facedown) as well. If charachters have a venom equal his vitality he is lose his mind and you discard all venom tokens( all players cards under him face down) and turn him 180 and he cannot quest, attack gather recources if he is hero and even cannot take undefended attack. So he is completely out until Bilbo wake him up.
