If the attacker beats your roll by 6 or more, there is no stress box to fill, so you have to take a consequence. Likewise, if all your stress boxes are already filled. Stress boxes sort of represent the amount of harm you can soak up before things start getting nasty.
At any time that you would take a consequence, you may instead concede, which means you automatically lose but get to choose the terms of your defeat (though the opponent may refuse). If you instead get all the way to Taken Out, your opponent chooses what happens to you, up to and including death (if the conflict in question is of the lethal sort).

Okay, so if all your boxes are filled up, then the next three hits take you to Mild, to Moderate, to Severe, one right after the other, is that correct?
