The ground or air may collect the body as the soul is subjected to torturous anguishVisitors (aka the players): Wouldn't subject them to death rules outside the norm, unless, perhaps, you wish to implement a variant like Curse of Strahd. [sblock] The campaign provides a variant to death for characters below 5th level wherein the Land offers to resurrect them with a Dark Gift, and they gain a level of indefinite madness upon being raised in any manner as this reveals to them that their soul is forever trapped in this dark realm (unless they can escape it which they don't know).[/sblock]</blockquote>
