Before we all head into the labyrinth, I figure we should have a level playing field for making calls about risk.

If you die here, apparently you don't stay dead. You're down for two days or so, then you resurrect wherever your body happens to be. So it's probably a nice gesture, if you see a corpse in the maze, to drag them somewhere not totally inconvenient to wake up.

The temporarily dead also come back fully healed of injuries, but the penalty is some kind of personal loss. Think scars, tattoos, a digit, possibly more intangible qualities, etc. I have no idea what the rules are on that, so if anyone has any useful speculation, consider the floor open.

In fact, if anyone is familiar with this kind of thing back in your universes, you're invited to share with the class. The more we know about resurrection in general, maybe the more we can figure out about how it works here. Bonus marks if you have first hand experience.

Apparently, it includes memories, so who knows what's off the table?

An eye for an eye. I suppose that makes sense.

I don't like it but it's good to know despite that that death isn't permanent.

Just in case.

[equivo]

In a way.

The deaths we know about weren't permanent. It's not like we'd be hearing from anyone who died and didn't come back.

[thetombkeeper]

If you've spoken to them, did they say what was taken from them specifically?

[equivo]

We didn't get into that. Kind of personal, you understand.

[thetombkeeper]

A pity. The more people know about what happens, the better, I think.

[equivo]

People have their reasons for privacy.

You know more than you did yesterday. That's something.

[thetombkeeper]

True. It's better than nothing.

Thank you for finding out what information you have.

[equivo]

Don't thank me. I'm just passing it on.
