The Wizards: Escape
Resource: Short-event
Cancels an attack against a company. One unwounded character of your choice in the company is wounded (no body check is required). "'Over the bridge!' cried Gandalf, recalling his strength. 'Fly! This is a foe beyond any of you. I must hold the narrow way. Fly!'"-LotRI

Playable on an unwounded character facing an attack. The attack is canceled and the character is wounded (no body check is required). "When the battle was over, we found that Gollum was gone..."-LotRII
CRF entry for Escape does not make a sense. Escape is not played on a character.
According to current text of Escape, nothing prevents a player from playing the card even if there is no unwounded character in defending company.
There is no reason to expect that such character should be present in defending company, as there is no reason to expect that an item will be in company targeted by Drowning Seas (played for its primary use). In both cases choice of affected entity is made as part of main effect of the cards.
I do not think that this state of things is intended but CRF does not address the issue correctly.
Proposed errata:
"Playable if a company facing an attack contains an unwonded character. Cancels an attack against a company. One unwounded character of your choice in the company is wounded (no body check is required). "'Over the bridge!' cried Gandalf, recalling his strength. 'Fly! This is a foe beyond any of you. I must hold the narrow way. Fly!'"-LotRI"
