When characters die, their estates need to be accounted for. Money and items may be willed to the remainder of the group, to a new character by the same player, or to a good cause (like building more space at the InnOfTheWelcomeWench).

The following estates need to be addressed:

• Steph's estate. Sorted!
• Gara Duhl's estate has been sorted out.
• Jason's estate (notably his lantern).

If you don't care what happens to your estate, then let me know, and it will be assumed to have gone to distant family or good cause. It's recommended that your estate go to a new character (or held in trust for when you make a new character), so they can start off with some better equipment and a bit of extra gold.

Obviously more work needs to be put into this area.
