The dead

Added D-306 Around a Cairn, the dead may rise (§10). They look possessed, and by what, nobody knows (§2). They fight with what they had in life. Amended D-331 They take on the Tower's colour (greyed toward stone, damp, mossy, dusted) and they move wrongly: a jerk, a lag, a head at the wrong angle, a limb that drags. The dead do not get up twice, and where somebody survives, nobody rises (D-271, D-272).

Amended D-314 The Tower keeps its dead. Bodies are not brought down, and climbers do not mourn in public; the Long Vigil, which began as mourners, is the exception. Taking from the dead is plain salvage (§38).
