This is the first wound a PC has taken I think all game. I was reading the rules at the end of the day and I swear I came across a part that said it drops you to 0 Endurance. Going back now I can not find that section. I must have been reading some special case, like Falling or Unconscious and just let work get in my way.

Finn IS Wounded, but not knocked out. I'll edit slightly to account for this.

That's quite a long time with no wounds! Well, that adds an interesting/fun complication. :-)

It doesn't matter, but Finn went over to help Wren (but again, not important with this turn of events).

Also, question...I know the rules for PCs to escape is to go to Rearward, then roll Athletics vs TN 10+ highest attribute. What is the rule for enemies trying to escape?

So I did have Finn move and attack the Man facing Varuthil if you'll notice Man 3 for both of them.

You do not have to go into Rearward first, but if you do, you auto escape.

"A hero who spent his previous round in a Rearward stance
may flee the combat zone at the beginning of a round. No
roll is required to do so.

A companion fighting in a close combat stance may
attempt to escape when his turn to act comes. At the end of
his round, a player-hero may attempt a roll of Athletics.

The TN for the roll is equal to 10 plus the highest Attribute
level among the opponents that the character is facing.
On a successful roll, the companion has successfully
escaped. A great or extraordinary success is needed if the
hero was engaged by multiple opponents. If the escape
attempt fails, the acting hero remains engaged and cannot
attack when his next turn to act comes."

So I'm doing this the same for the enemy. They are facing certain heroes, and I'm taking your highest (non-favored) attribute, be it Body, Heart or Wits, and they have to make the roll.

Oh! Sorry, missed that.

Cool.
