You Died? Read This!

Resurrection

My Pishite Zexium can resurrect reliably. I will switch characters if requested, but may not be able to do so immediately you ask.

XP return seems to be based on several factors, including the resurrection (or fai.rit.cui.ta) bonus of the priest doing the resurrection, and the XP before death of the ghost. It is speculated that the return to the resurrected person is capped at 75% of their pre-death XP. It is also speculated that the higher the XP a character dies with, the higher the bonus needed by the resurrecting Pishite to get the maximum return to the character. A priest who returns 75% of 200k to your little newbie alt may not have enough bonus to return 75% of 8 mill to your big number-chasing main.

No pishite can tell you what your XP return will be. However, unless you know that your XP is below a level at which a specific resurrection bonus will comfortably hit the XP return cap of 75%, it makes sense to look for the highest resurrection bonus you can. The skills website and the "who pishe" command may help. Note, however, that ghosts asking Pishites for their bonuses at their moment of need may alienate those Pishites.

I also have a webpage that does a realtime lookup of the online players to identify those known to have a 400 or higher curing target bonus. Click Here

Death

There are people who will try and help you.

You will:

Be Polite.
Understand that immediately and now are relative, and may depend on your rescuers ability to first lead any groupmates to a safe area, travel half way across the disc, and locate your corpse miles from the nearest civilisation.
Warn us of any specific hazards, like Yetis or Spiders in the room with your corpse.
Show appreciation. This need not be financial, but your attitude may affect the response next time you need assistance.

You will not, under any circumstances, get stroppy or complain about:

Response time.
Delays waiting for GP regeneration.
Failure to Raise / Resurrect / Restore.
Inability to retrieve heavy items from your drowned corpse.
The unwillingness of rescuers to die whilst retrieving your equipment.
Less XP return than you expected.

If the ritual failed, sit tight and wait quietly unless the priest says otherwise. A priest that has just failed a ressurect or raise ritual probably feels upset enough about it without you doing or saying anything at all. GP regen is normally required before the ritual can be repeated. We didn't kill you, we're trying to help. Please don't get annoyed at us!

Raise & Res[urrect]

Raise

Raise is a ritual available to Priests and Priestesses of Gufnork, Pishe and Sek. It is also available through some NPCs and in some special rooms, usually requiring some interaction by the ghost, such as using the command "raise" or saying "please raise me". I don't know if any of the NPCs are language sensitive. It will restore the ghostly player to a more substantial form, albeit with a reduced Con stat, no XP and very low HP. This is the same as being raised in the shrines and temples listed below.

Resurrect

Resurrect is a ritual available to Priests and Priestesses of Pishe. The advantages of resurrect is that it can restore some of the lost XP, and will also restore the Con stat, but not HP.

Resurrect needs a lot of energy (GP) to cast, and even high level Priests and Priestesses can fail. They will then have to wait for their GP to build up before trying again. Most Priests and Priestesses do not appreciate funny stunts while waiting, and the best advice if this occurs is to "keep your hands away from the keyboard and wait patiently". Your funny stunt may be perceived as complaining about ritual failure (see above) which may lead to you receiving a reduced service. This might be, but is not limited to: raise dead instead of resurrect, no healing after raising / resurrection, no restore after a raise, or the pishite just leaving.

Remember that after both Resurrect and Raise you will need some healing before you do anything that may cause a loss of HP. After Raise you will also need a Restore or to wait for your Con stat to increase to it's normal level.

Shrines, Temples etc.

These are locations where a ghostly player may be restored to a more substantial form without player assistance. In all cases, the restored player will have reduced stats. You may need to use a command (such as "raise") or request the help of NPC ("say please raise me" or "sayto please raise me"), and some of the NPCs may be language sensitive. The known locations are:

Harry in the Temple of Small Gods in Ankh-Morpork, 4 South, 4 West and North from the carriage stop outside the temple.
The Temple of Sessifet in Djelibeybi. Ptamney is here.
A room West and then South from the junction of Chopsticks and Chestnut Path in the North-East of Bes Pelargic. Tu Silent Llamas is here.
The Shrine of Small Gods, 3 South and then East from the centre of the Market Square in Ohulan Cutash.
A cave in the Ramtop Mountains. This is South of the Land of Giants, on the first side path of the track to the Temple of Soyin. Watch out for Yetis and Lynxes when leaving this room.
A room on the West side of the Hedge Wizard's Guild which is located North-East of Pekan Ford on the path towards Rham Nitz, on the North-West side of the path on the edge of Skund Forest.
The Medicine Man in the hut on the West end of the beach on Brown Island.
Mrs Gogol in a tent on the South corner of the Market in Genua, North of the Docks, which are on the East side of the city.
Mad Priest Von Bobenstein in the abandoned and derelict Temple of Pishe in the un-named town to the South-East of Escrow in Uberwald.
Misty in the Netherworld (say misty) - note that priests can not resurrect in the Netherworld, but I don't think the exit guardian will stop ghosts leaving!
There may also be a tent in the Oasis where you can be raised.

Godmother

The NPC of last restort, the Godmother will transfer you to your start location, raise you and bring your body along as well, but she will charge, initially just a temporary stat drop, later on she charges a life. Make sure you have a spare life before using the godmother command. If you are having problems understanding or communicating with the good fairy, just "say yes", "nod" your head and "think safe".
