# Death

Death is the simplest way to end combat. By killing your opponent you will instantly leave combat, and they will get the `Intermission` role. Even though it may be the simplest ending, it is hard to slay someone if they are not completely defenseless, plus you need to be sure that your killing them is righteous in the eyes of the law. If it isn't, your character might face severe, perhaps even fatal, consequences. You will achieve victory by Death when your opponent's HP reaches **0**, and only then. After you've won, your opponent's body can be looted.
