Help for death

When your hitpoints fall to zero or less, you are downed. While downed,
you will slowly bleed out, losing hitpoints every 12 seconds. Once you reach
-10 hitpoints, you will die.

While downed, you can still take limited actions:

  crawl   - Move to an adjacent room by using the normal movement
           commands (north, south, etc.). You will crawl instead of walk.
  use     - Use a potion or consumable from your backpack.
  drink   - Drink a potion from your backpack.
  eat     - Eat food from your backpack.
  look    - Look around the room.

Hostile creatures that downed you will watch over your body. They won't attack
you further, but their presence prevents most actions. Crawl away to safety
before using a healing potion to recover.

If another player is nearby, they can use the aid command to revive you.

If you heal above 0 hitpoints (via a potion or aid), you recover from the
downed state and can act normally again.

Death Penalties:
Dying can cause you to drop some of your gear or lose experience points.
You will be transported to the shadow realm, where you must wait for your
hitpoints to recover and for the next portal out to appear.

If you lost gear on death, you'll need to go find it and recover it.
