Rescuing captured heroes isn't something bthat has come up in many of my games, so the Rescue action as it applies to Lost Souls is pretty much all I ever needed to check. Today I read all about it, Rescue, Rescuer...anything I could find in the glossary of terms, and there was a LOT involved. Battles that continue if a rescue is successful in mid-battle; things that trigger at the time of a rescue as opposed to after a rescue--I realized there was a lot I still needed to learn. And then I came across...
Chariot of Fire. "If opponent's blocking character is not opposed, you may add Elisha..." My first thought is "How is that even possible? How could I initiate a rescue without presenting a hero like any other battle. Then I started thinking outside the box. I said to myself, "Self? Maybe they use Chariot of Fire after the battle is joined and I somehow get my hero eliminated. That would give an important reason to want Elisha (or any hero) to come to the rescue." Am I on the right track?
Also, regarding captured heroes, what decides where they go if you successfully rescue them? Are they redeemed souls? Or do they go back to fighting evil and saving Lost Souls? This question might be answered in that Glossary of terms, but I stopped reading after my brain started to cramp so I came down to enter this post.
