977F: Kill the character in A
Used by the routines at DO_SHOOT, DO_ATTACK, DO_EAT, SWIM_BLACK_RIVER and TROLLS_TURN_TO_STONE.
The player's death is PLAYER_DIES. Anyone else is marked dead (flag bit 3), drops everything it holds (EMPTY_OUT), and gives up its slot in CHARACTERS, so its script never runs again.
