Behavior: Alive but exhausted. Do not fully rescue until Session 8 unless the table forces it.

name: Three Anchors; description: The Engine has three anchors: Storm, Ember, and Memory. Each can be Broken, Stabilized, or Rewritten. The state of these anchors determines the final ending momentum.; name: Finale Object; description: The Engine is not meant to be killed normally. It changes state through character choices, finale powers, and DC 15 Engine actions.; name: Momentum Tracker; description: Track Restore, Rebuild, and Destroy. Each major action adds 1 point to a track. When a track reaches 5, or after 3 rounds of finale combat, call for the final table choice. Behavior: Use as a lair/action framework rather than a normal enemy. It supports the final choice mechanics.

name: Storm Anchor Bond; description: While the Storm Anchor remains intact or stabilized, Tempest regains 10 hit points at the start of his turn unless he took damage from a finale power since his last turn.; name: Not Here to Kill You; description: Tempest does not begin with lethal force. Until reduced below half hit points or until the party commits to Destroy, his attacks cannot reduce a PC below 1 hit point unless he chooses otherwise.; name: Divine Control; description: Tempest has advantage on checks to stabilize anchors, counter forced unbinding, or impose boundary commands. Behavior: Do not run Tempest as a simple monster. He is a final moral antagonist. The combat should pause for the final choice after enough anchor actions occur.
