<h1>ELDGREN’S TACTICS: THE HEART OF THE FOREST</h1>
<p>In this phase, the characters are face-to-face with the pulsing Heart of the Forest, and at last they have the chance to heal it, removing the mysterious and invisible parasite that infested it.</p>
<h2>Core Conflict Mechanics</h2>
<div class="mechanic-rule">
<h3>The Heart's Limitations</h3>
<p>This conflict is based upon a special rule designed to showcase the narrative through the game mechanics:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Heart enters the scene with current Hit Points equal to <strong>1</strong> and its Hit Points cannot go below 1.</li>
<li>If the Heart’s current Hit Points become equal to or greater than 480, it loses all Ultima Points and Surrenders immediately.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="mechanic-rule">
<h3>Slumbering Hope Clock</h3>
<p>This scene also includes a “Slumbering Hope” Clock with <strong>4 sections</strong>, visible to all participants. This Clock can be filled or emptied only in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>When a Player Character present on the scene spends 1 Fabula Point to invoke a Theme of Belonging, Hope, Justice or Mercy, fill 1 section of the Clock.</li>
<li>At the start of the fourth enemy turn (see below) of the round, if the Clock is full, empty it. If you do, the Heart regains <strong>40 Hit Points</strong> and <strong>40 Mind Points</strong>, and it doesn’t perform any action this turn.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2>The Heart's Strict Cycle of Play</h2>
<p>The Heart follows a very strict cycle of play:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>On the first enemy turn:</strong> The Heart uses <em>Flame of Remembrance</em> during odd-numbered rounds or <em>Avenging Miasma</em> during even-numbered rounds, both against random targets.</li>
<li><strong>On the second enemy turn:</strong> If it has enough Mind Points, the Heart uses <em>Aura of Desperation</em> during odd-numbered rounds, or <em>Ashen Breath</em> during even-numbered rounds. If it lacks the required Mind Points, it uses <em>Avenging Miasma</em> against random targets.</li>
<li><strong>On the third enemy turn:</strong> The Heart uses <em>Ancient Vitality</em> or, if it doesn’t have enough Mind Points, a Recovery action. If it doesn’t have any Ultima Points left, it uses <em>Flame of Remembrance</em> against a random target.</li>
<li><strong>On the fourth enemy turn:</strong> Check the “Slumbering Hope” Clock (see above). If the Clock isn’t empty and the Heart is not in Crisis, it uses <em>Parasite Grasp</em>. If the Heart is in Crisis and/or it doesn’t have enough Mind Points, it uses <em>Flame of Remembrance</em> against a random target.</li>
</ul>
