The Bell of Rest is a unique presence in the Tomb of the Eaters.

Overview

This section is an excerpt from Tomb of the Eaters#The Bell of Rest.
The room above is a Place of Rest, and has tiles marked as such.

A player who has the Mark of Death on their body is affected by the Bell of Rest. The Bell of Rest rings every 300 turns, with a countdown that appears in purple text in the message log. At the end of the countdown, the player is teleported to a random Place of Rest. The places of rest are spaces marked with a checkerboard-like tile. If the player is in a place of rest, they receive an effect called Tomb-tethered. If the player is Tomb-tethered when the Bell of Rest rings, they will not be teleported.

An example of the Bell of Rest countdown.

In the Folk Catacombs, the Places of Rest are scattered around randomly. However, as the player progresses to less damaged areas of the Tomb, Places of Rest are more reliably available in the intact crypts. There is usually at least one Place of Rest per zone.

If the zone is re-entered after completing the Tomb's quest, the teleportation effect of the Bell of Rest is disabled, and the Tomb can be freely explored. This is true even if the player has tattooed the Mark of Death on their body again. However, the Tomb-tethered alert will still appear whenever they move onto a checkerboard tile region.
