welcome to the game.

1. when you die, you suffer a "death penalty" which reduces your health and energy by 15% for every death, to a maximum of 60% (4 deaths). you eliminate the death penalty by playing, killing critters, or zoning back to town to try again. That's all you lose. you pop back up at resurrection shrines if you're exploring. If you're completing a mission, then your death -- AND the death of all others in your party--will end the mission, and you'll need to try again. That's all you lose.

2. To add NPCs, you click the henchman you want, and then, in the box (probably on your screen right), click the plus sign that's under your name. that adds people to your party.

3. Specify where you are and we can help more. In general, you can... buy runes for health from a rune trader. Upgrade your armor at armor crafter. And move around a bit when enemies attack you, so you might take a bit less damage.
What class are you playing? What game? (Factions? Nightfall?) What mission or quest or area?

good luck, and keep asking.

1. You don't lose anything in your inventory, but you do lose health and energy (what you are calling "mana"). In the top right corner you will see a red box that has a number in it after you die (-15%, -30%, etc). For each death, you get a 15% death penalty (referred to as DP). To remove this while still in an area, you would need to use a consumable (like Candy canes, 4 leaf clovers, and other stuff) or kill stuff to remove portions of your DP. If you kill enough before dying again, you can entirely erase your DP. The percentage that is shown removes health and energy at that rate (although I'm not sure how runes and other armor upgrades effect it, someone with more knowledge of that can answer).

2. When you log off, the Henchies (NPC's) will no longer be in your party when you relog back on. Simply hit "P" to bring the list of NPC's back up and select which ones you want in party. NOTE: This does not impact heroes if you have NightFalls. Heroes will remain in your party once you log back in.

3. Probably the easiest way to remove a lot of DP is to just rezone and try again with a different party selection, or ask for help in an outpost or in your guild/alliance.

Good luck. Hit me up in game if you need some help. (also, what englitdaudelin said)

OK First when you Die you Suffer Death Penalty this goes away when you visit a town or outpost

the NPC party were Henchmen you add them to yur party by hitting the P key in the window that appears find the Henchmen tab there you will find a list of all of the hench available and you can add them from there

lastly just return to an aoupost either by map travel or typing /resign your DP will be gone you do not have to re roll
