"At the end of the Scenarios Bree, Moria, Isengard, Helm's Deep and Shelob's Lair, carry out the end of scenario activities (Life tokens, new Ring-bearer, Fatty). Then the new Ring-bearer acts as the active player and may defeat Foes even before the next Scenario begins." (F&F rules)Take that how you will. Noting that the life tokens mentioned here is just the check for them and moving on the track if missing certain tokens, not the discard life tokens back to the pool bit.
