<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.

<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>
