Specifically, we'll never die to anything unavoidable. If our endurance points go below zero in such a section we'll just carry on regardless. If anything avoidable damages us while we're at zero or negative EP though, that's a different story. Also, no one likes starting over, so if we do die to anything avoidable then it will be retconned into a prophetic vision allowing us to go back and choose another option. Finally, there are some "dead man walking" scenarios where a choice you make leads to you dying much later in the book. In those instances I'll just overrule the book and allow us to survive since doing otherwise would lead to a lot of repetition or (in at least one case) make a whole section of the book effectively unavailable to us since it always ends up that way.
