venom-encrusted weapons against ward

[Nicolas12]

If I roll a 6 with my Kruleboyz, I inflict a number of mortal wounds equal to the damage characteristic.

The rule in the book says : that attack causes a number of mortal wounds to the target equal to the weapon's damage characteristic and the attack sequence ends.

What if my damage charcateristic is more than 1 (for example 2) what with wards of my opponent.

Does he has to throw 1 dice for the hit or 2 because of the damage (the number of mortal wounds is 2)? 

And what if there is an extra wound thanks to the Sludgeraker? Still 1 dice? 3 dices?

[Ganigumo]

Armor saves are 1 per wound.
Ward saves are 1 per damage.
So as an example:

1. An attack with a profile of 3+/3+/-/3 against an enemy with a 4+ armor save and a 5+ ward.
   1. If the attack wounds the target makes a single save on a 4+
   2. If the armor save fails the target will make 3 ward saves, one for each point of damage, each success prevents 1 of the damage
      1. 1 fail and 2 successes means 2 wounds are allocated
      2. 2 successes and 1 fail means 1 wound is allocated
2. You roll a 6 on the snatchaboss' grappling hook (3 damage) which deals an extra mortal since you rolled a 6
   1. The target makes 4 ward saves, one for each mortal wound.
      1. Each success prevents one of the wounds from being allocated

The whole chain is right but take in mind that attacks produce damage (profile), damage is transformed in to a pool of Wounds, and Wounds can be saved by Wards.
