I've got a few questions:

Regarding the summon ability...do summoned characters with stamina > 0 go to the graveyard at the end of the encounter in which they are summoned, or do they stay on the table? If they do stay on the table, do they count towards the encounter limit the next round? Also, if a summoner is sent to the graveyard, do the character(s) they summoned also leave play with them?

Regarding Cleave...is the bonus granted by this card applied any time a wound is dealt by the party, even for the extra wounds granted by cards like Counter Attack and Fireball? For example, if I cast a boosted Fireball that sends two characters to the grave, would a boosted Cleave then grant me 4 additional wounds to apply?

Yes, they go to the Grave as they have "0" life score.


Summoned Characters never count towards to the encounter limit. If the summoner is killed, the summoned character(s) stay in play.


Only if you have 2 Cleaves (cards) ready to play.

"If you Wound a Character..." - "...you may deal 1 Wound to two different targets..." It would not be exponential.

It does not have to be in combat, but also keep in mind it does have to be sent to the Grave by taking a Wound - Counter Attack would qualify, while Combat Training would not.
