You will, of course, suffer damage to your gear for each death and that can get expensive real fast so try to stay alive, kk? Skirmmish Camps You do not receive a Revive cooldown, nor do you suffer loss of hope but you do feel the Shame of Defeat, lowering the amount of Skirmish Marks you receive. You will not be able to resummon your Soldier until the fight is over and you still have to heal up from your wounds, but you can jump right back into the battle. You cannot revive inside a Skirmish, but fear not! Retreat simply respawns you at the start-point of the skirmish. If you are a healer, you may want a soldier that can tank, or if you are a fighter you may desire a soldier that can heal. Different Soldier Traits, that can be earned or bartered for, can give different abilities and roles to your soldier. Within a Skirmish you can use your Soldier skill to summon a soldier that will assist you. You will know when you have found one when you see a message advising you that you hear a loud noise or a snuffling and a direction. When you are solo, these will be Elite, so that are not to be attempted lightly. Some, but not all Skirmishes, will feature a few extra encounters that are not required to finish the Skirmish but will earn you a solid bonus if you can defeat it. i think while he is alive he will rez dead allies.
Death-monger - something about not letting dead companions leave.
Sic your soldier on him, then kill his firends as fast as possible.
Blood-rook - This monster becomes stronger the more allies he has around him.
Some of these have special abilities and require special tactics. Some special, Signature, mobs will be encountered in every skirmish instance.
Defender of the Vile - His presence makes any allies around him fight harder.

The Campaign Marks are also redeemable for cosmetic items or bartered for Skirmish Marks, but they do not require small groups and come only from specific groups of skirmishes, mainly for completing encounters so you can get these even if you are unable to complete the entire mission. These are rewarded only in Skirmishes attempted by Solo and Small Fellowships (1-3 players), and can be redeemed for cosmetic items or bartered for additional Skirmish Marks. You can barter them for gear fromthe Skirmish Vendors at any of the Skirmish Camps. Skirmish Marks are the basic reward from all Skirmishes. There is a ranking system, with caps depending on what expansions you own/have unlocked.
