Death
=====

WARNING: Order and Chaos features PERMADEATH.
When you die, your character is gone forever - unless you
have a Soul Ember.

What Happens
------------
When your health reaches zero:
* Your soul fades into the void
* Your character is permanently deleted
* All equipment and progress is lost
* You must create a new character

Soul Embers
-----------
A Soul Ember is a rare token that can save you from permadeath.
If you die while carrying a Soul Ember:
* The ember is consumed
* You appear at the church as a ghost
* You must 'pray for life' to resurrect
* You return with only 10% of your stats

Soul Embers can be found by:
* Completing the intro quest
* Rare drops from powerful monsters

Avoiding Death
--------------
* Use 'consider' to check monster difficulty
* Keep health potions handy
* Set WIMPY to auto-flee at low health
* Travel with a party for safety
* Know when to flee
* Keep a Soul Ember in your inventory

The WIMPY Setting
-----------------
Type 'set WIMPY on' to automatically flee when your health
drops too low. This can save your life!
