So a better idea: Amulet of resist death could work as a life extension: If you die, you sort of don't die... Until you take the amulet off. After a while the amulet burns, and if you forgot to heal, you die.
Or maybe: In the event of death, you won't die in another few minutes, during which you're practically immortal... But when those minutes are up, you'll die. It should be extremely hard to cancel the death!

amulet of resist death
in forum Other Coding
I'd definitely say bring you back to life in some sort of crippled state. Could resurrect you with your body parts all black, unconscious; and force you to heal to at least a semi-fighting state.
The problem I have with this is that it's basically a less reliable AoLS, which is kind of dull.
New idea.
Unlike AoLS, which brings you back to pristine condition then disappears in the case of death, AoRD let's you take hit... after hit... after hit... after hit... after hit... your HP is going in the negatives, but you're still alive and kicking somehow. The problem? Every AoRD you'll ever find is a copy, like that valpurium flaming sword. It's awesome while you have it, but there's no telling when it'll *poof* on you. The moment it disappears on you, you better damn hope your HP isn't in the negatives, because if any part of your body has HP in the negatives, it'll spontaneously shred itself as the amulet disappears. Which could mean instant death if that's your head, torso or groin.

I dunno. Since there isn't any instant death spell, I envisioned it more as...
*Merka stabs you through the heart!*
*The Amulet of Resist Death glows!*
*You retain consciousness up until the last drop of blood is spilled from your body.*
*You die.*

The monsters do follow you through the portal, but even if you kill everything before going through, you will still start off surrounded by 4 elite dark knights and 8 acidous blood golems.
Edit: My bad, I misread. After killing Oree. The above applies to arriving on Oree's level.

Oree is easier than Petrus by virtue of him using no weapons. Or are you preparing in order to take on the mage room?

It is, in fact, possible to get up to day 30/50 and have a limbless kamikaze dwarf bite through your adamantine belt to destroy your groin.
