"reset the field of play"
does this mean to remove any face down cards from the forest row except ones that are sideways and re-deal? or remove all forest cards and re-deal?
based on other comments i'm assuming you don't change the character row.
also, at the beginning when you only have one character card (ace of diamond) and you find a card that beats/ties it (say the 3 of spades) what do you do? it says "flip over the top card in that suit" but at this point i don't have a spade card. is it just a death leading to "reset the field of play"? see above for why i am now stuck :P
