Avram: No, wait, I'm wrong about that. The stakes were "My character comes into your character's chamber in the middle of the night, to kill your character," so losing the conflict has those stakes. The exhaustion/injury rule is in addition to the stakes. Do I have that right?
Nope. There's no stakes setting. That's why I'm calling the chapter "Action & Consequences," in fact.
The exhaustion/injury rule is in addition to taking the blow, which is the throat cut. So you were right the first time: "I cut your throat while you sleep" isn't automatically fatal.
