What do you do in regular TFT, with no healing magic?

What we do, is choose from the above list, as appropriate to the
situation, and play the game that is about the consequences of
situations, which we find interesting.

Don't go adventuring with so few people that if someone gets injured,
your party is screwed. If you're doing something where many of you are
liable to be seriously injured, you need transportation (wagons, horses)
and backup - additional people who guard the camp while the away party is
forward, and when people are resting, etc. Often, yes, you have wounded
people coming along in dangerous places who need to be careful and
protected. That's exciting and interesting for us.
