In Event 15, do the ice points need armour-free damage, and can healing be used on the trapped figure?

Question

Accepted Answer

Most likely each ice point is a normal hit needing 1 damage, not armour damage, and the trapped figure is not an exile, so healing does not apply to it during the fight. The designer confirmed a player's answers were correct and said healing was left out for balance, but did not restate the ice-point rule.
