Well, if you're going to do that, you're going to hurt yourself! Just don't let your Wounds reach 8, as they will become fatal. Which would be inconvenient.
Levels in Wounds
- Scratches and Bruises
- Scratches and Bruises
- Aches and Pains!
- Aches and Pains!
- Bandages and Ointments!
- Limping and Cursing!
- Agony and Desperation!
- (and up) The Spirit has Departed!
Ow! That hurt!
Then don't do that.
Your Wounds increase when failing a high level Dangerous storylet or Opportunity Card. You may also happen to make a choice which is successful, but hurts anyway (perhaps unexpectedly). There are also concoctions and items that will give you some benefit, but exact a price on your person. Be careful.
What happens if my Wounds get too high?!?
Fortunately, Wounds is a quality that is relatively easy to reduce—it just takes time. The following storylet will appear in your Lodgings that gives you a good chance to reduce your Wounds.
