Brace yourself, for you shall encounter the very same beasts that ended your previous existence, ready to engage in battle once more.
Your lifeless body will safeguard the belongings and equipment you bore, compelling you to embark on a pilgrimage to reclaim them once more.

Should your Gold surpass the threshold for the death penalty, you shall discover it resting beside your lifeless form.
Should you happen to possess Potions within the additional compartments of your Belt, any surplus shall be returned to your Inventory. However, in the event that there is insufficient room, the Potions will be unceremoniously discarded onto the earth below.
