Well we have a couple choices:
One would be walk away since we're dead without too much prospect of coming back (I suppose my family might assume I'm dead and put the word out at which time Lartis or Byron would explain where we were and a party might be sent to find us and bring us back, but my family wouldn't likely pay for reviving anyone other than me, and maybe not even me).
Or we could try it again by being the rescue party.
Third, we could just start over with a new recruitment and see how many people apply. This option shouldn't garuntee any spots to past players, if good resumes are sent out they win.
