Forgotten History vs. AotL

Forgotten History (Pi)

Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Pale Green • Ability: 0 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Select up to four cards from one opponent’s discard pile and remove them from the game. The battle immediately ends. Cannot be negated • Play As: Search one opponent’s discard pile for up to four cards and remove them from the game. The battle immediately ends. Cannot be negated. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Psalms 106:13 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Common)

(Assume that the character SAs have no effect on the situation.) I block a RA with a PG EC who gains initiative, then play Forgotten History which creates a stalemate situation. My opponent responds with AotL on my EC. Does he win a LS, or does the fact that the battle ends "immediately" effectively send the characters back to their territories, which means my EC is discarded from there and no LS is gained? The word "immediately" suggests that the battle is over upon play, which means AotL would be too late to effect a rescue. (I did look in the REG glossary, but "immediately" is not defined there.)

No, the Sa of Forgotten History must play out entirely before your Op can do anything. If they would play AotL they can kill your EC but it would be considered to take place after the battle had ended. (essentially killing your EC in a territory)   

And any enhancement that ends the battle "immediately" is CBN

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Forgotten History ends the battle, which means characters return to their territories before any other abilities can be carried out.
