OK, here's the scenario. One PC kills another in the woods. No one saw it, except the victim.
How should this scene be RPed afterwards? he was not really killed, just near-death? when he recovers, could he acuse the other of murder?
Help the n00b.

The victim is dead.And no accusations should be made due to memory loss depending on form of resurrection.
This is usually how it should be RP out.I think , and I am not exactly positive ,but if a player resurrects the victim , the victim suffers a 15 minute memory loss. So if the encounter takes longer than 15 minutes , the victim will remember some details.
If the character is respawned aka ressed by Mykrul , the victim suffers a 24 hour memory loss.Which means most likely no memory of it , only speculations if that character knows before the incident that a certain individual has it out for them.But the character must have these speculations for sometime,longer than a day.The memory loss thing is usually for preventing grieving.
I am not sure if this is accurate or applies to this PW. It may be posted in a thread within the forums. I hope this clears things up for you a bit.

I'd say it also depends on whether or not the killer/mugger/whatever stays to RP anything or not. But I gather from your post that he just left the scene rather than do that.

Not all PvP deaths are actually RP'ed in the direction of the character actually dying. Sometimes the "killer" will indicate that he stopped at severely wounding the character. I tend to play it by ear depending upon how the attacker conducts his own RP. When Flail died after fighting Malik, a DM got involved and teleported me to another area and sent a message indicating that Flail regained consciousness so that is what I rp'ed. In this case there was no real reason to keep Malik's deeds a secret as he was so notorious by then, he didn't have a reputation to lose anyway.

Indeed , I agree totally about what you are saying . It doesnt have to be Rped as a death if the killer wishes to just severely wound you or knock you out.
