How to recover HP and treat wounds

Healing: Recovering HP, Mana, and Fatigue in Ghelmyon

Resting (restores HP, mana, AND fatigue in one pass):
  rest                       Rest a while (safe areas top you off)
  rest nap                   A quick nap (less regen, less time)
  rest night                 A full night's rest (most regen)
  light rest                 Stay alert: partial regen, no ambush risk
  camp                       Set up camp outdoors, eat by the fire
  camp night                 Camp a full night in the field
  camp watch <ally>          Post a companion to stand guard
  longcamp                   Camp until dawn (long rest)
  sleep                      Full restore (advances time to dawn)

Camping in the open is exposed: a dangerous spot can be ambushed.
A companion on watch turns an ambush into a warning (you wake ready,
and can fight, talk first, or break camp and move on). Weather and a
campfire shape how well you sleep in the field.

  use health potion          Drink a healing potion (instant HP)
  eat bread                  Food restores small HP
  use bandage                Dress a wound: closes the worst one,
                             stops bleeding, puts a little HP back

  pray                       Pray at a temple: gain rep, chance of blessing
  /donate                    Invest in a temple for HP regen tiers
