death

When your character dies, you are reincarnated back at the Altar of the
Temple of Lotac.  Your corpse is left behind in the room where you
were killed, together with all of your equipment.

Any spells which were affecting you are canceled by death.

Following and groups are not affected by death.

You lose experience points for dying.  The amount you lose is half of the
way back to the beginning of your level.

Corpses decay after time, and the objects inside corpses decay with them.
Player corpses last *roughly* 30 hours of game time (15 minutes of real time).
Only the player who died, or someone in the same group, can retrieve objects
from a player's corpse.

If you can't find your corpse, you can pray in the Sacrificial Chambers.
If you offer enough silver pieces the Gods will give you your corpse
back.  (see also help of PRAY)
