In this episode, Anthony's character Rael is mobbing down a canal trying to reach and hopefully capture the assassin/bomber that did the terrible deeds. He gets hurt, then helped, then makes it just in time to see some real crazy business go down.

 

Mechanics in this episode: 

Vitality starts out at 3X your Water stat. Rael took a bunch of damage, dropping him to -8. For each amount below zero equivalent to your Water Stat, the character takes on a Wound. Most NPCs have only 1, while most players start with 2 (Warriors, Monks, and Guardians get 3). If you take a wound, you're at minus 3 to all actions (per wound). Once you take a wound you're Fading, which means you could pass out at any time. Every 2 rounds you need to roll a Water check to avoid falling unconscious (bad news if you're hanging from a rope above a raging river). If you get an Epic or higher success, you're back in the game (no further need for Water checks).

 

If you do pass out, it will take 3 successful Water checks to come back. Every three rolls the Loremaster will roll a check to see if you take another wound. If you receive another wound you are effectively dead, unless a priest or other healer gets to you in time (Like Miracle Max in Princess Bride).
