# Slain & Knocked Down

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Kharkhan Khrael stepped aside contemptuously, watching as the young Lánaraï scout's arcane-infused blade traced a glimmering arc in the fading dusk air. Choosing the moment, practised upon untold thousand of battlefields before, he stepped suddenly and forcefully into the scout's reach. The panicked Lánaraï attempted to reposition the sword, but in a sickly blur of motion, Kharkhan's vice-like grip ensnared the scout's sword arm, twisting and breaking it at the elbow.</mark>*

Mali would know how to make use of the power contained within it.</mark>*

### **Slain NPCs and Looting**

If an NPC's Health reaches zero or less, they will be **Slain**. Slain NPCs are corpses which remain visible on the Battleground for a while. You can loot a corpse by spending 1 Action Point. Once a corpse has been looted once, it cannot be looted again.

Loot may include money or items of varying rarity, depending on the NPC that was slain. Some NPCs may also drop **Loot Cards** when slain, which allow you to draw a card from the Loot Deck.&#x20;

### **Knocked Down Players**

If a player's Health reaches zero or less, they become **Knocked Down**. Players can be revived by another player, or by the GM at their discretion. If a player wants to revive another player, it requires a whole turn.

TO DO: If all players in a group are knocked down…

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rulebook.dawnofthetyrant.com/rules/combat/slain-and-knocked-down.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
