Nothing

When you choose to go to sleep early, you discard all of the cards in your deck facedown with no effect.

You must always resolve exactly 1 option shown on your card (or you may ignore the card and discard it faceup without effect, if it doesn't have any negative effects).

No

Instead of choosing a card, you may choose to discard all of the cards in your deck facedown with no effect.

Take another action

If the die results mean that you cannot resolve the action, you must instead resolve a negative action on the card, or ignore the card if there are no negative actions.

Ignore extra wounds

When your group suffers wounds, you must choose one person in your group to be wounded, placing 1 wound token for each wound suffered. If there aren't enough heart and skull spaces to place all of the wound tokens, ignore any remaining wounds that you would need to place. You may use this rule strategically to reduce the number of wounds you suffer.

You can look at the backs of all cards in your deck at any time. However, you cannot change the order of the cards.
