First 2 games and a rule question

[jhwedmd]

Ok, so we played two runs of the basic game tonight and I came up with one situation I can't find in the rule book.

If you use exertion (ie take wounds) to roll extra die on a cliffhanger test and then fail that test and are KO'd AND you don't have any glory yet, how do you recover your wounds?

If anyone else has played, I would definitely appreciate some input.

Thanks!

When you are KOd, you lose d6 of any combination fortune, glory, allies and gear. During the end step, KOd heroes stand up with full health. P14 lists the steps of The End Phase, the last step is Heroes Recover. Tho it does not explicitly say that they fully heal, it is implied with the word Recovered.

Also, since you are losing d6 worth of stuff, and have a 50% chance to lose an artifact, those can be some pretty heavy losses. To make you pay on top of that would make "going for it" too risky, undermining the entire point of the game.

Yeah, I saw where it said they 'recover', though it doesn't mention healing wounds at all. I suppose that is the best way to interpret it, however. Although, it does specifically mention wounds healing every other place it can happen.
