Death

When a character runs out of hit points, they become a spirit. There is no apparent loss of items or experience points from dying.

Spirits

"Unfortunately you have died and are now floating around the jungle as a spirit. It seems you don't need to worry about how thick the jungle is any more as you simply pass straight through it, however you can no longer carry anything. You should probably find a Shaman to assist you in returning to life."

Spirits are capable of floating over any terrain (except mountains and sea) for 1 AP. They do not benefit from Exploration or Trekking skills. They also cannot use or drop any items that they were carrying at the time of their death.

Spirits by default cannot interact with the realm of the living at all.

Ghostly whisper

With Ghostly whisper, spirits can communicate with living players that have the Sixth Sense skill.

It has not been determined if spirits can communicate with other spirits.

Haunting scream

Not implemented.

Returning to Life

Visit a Shaman

You can visit the Shamans of any village, even ones of the opposite side, to be reborn with full HP.

• "Here is one of the few "springs of life" on the island. A native shaman has been captured and is held here to reunite the spirits of dead outsiders with their bodies and return them to the land of the living."

• "The shaman appears to be chanting quietly and although very slight, you can feel it having a gradual effect on you."

• "(shaman name) works his magic with the spring of life and joins you with your body."

Contact a Shaman

You can also contact a Shaman for 50 AP. You will be reborn in your home village with full HP.

• "Using all your concentration you telepathically contact (shaman name), the shaman at (home village), who summons your spirit home."
• "As your spirit is whisked across the island, everything goes dark."
• "The world comes back into view and you find that magically you have been brought back to life by (shaman name). You lie still for a while as your strength returns."

Apparently, you cannot go into AP debt when contacting a Shaman.

• "Sorry, you don't have enough action points yet. You'll need to wait until you have at least 50 before you can contact the shaman."
