Request to examine the dead
On account of the fact that we’ve got a dead skeleton lying around, I’d like for us to examine the dead.
That Pesky Dragon has 100 health. It is not Dead.
That Thirsty Skeleton has -8 health. It is Dead.
That Angry Scorpion’s has 20 health. It is not Dead.
That Thirsty Skeleton has less than 0 health. Who reduced its health last? GenericPerson. As such GenericPerson is treated as the attacker of that creature as per Attacking sub rule 4. This means that they get to distribute that creature’s loot.
GenericPerson:
I have distributed the loot of that Thirsty Skeleton. As such, it is now properly examined. No creatures remain with less than 0 health to examine, so as all of those creatures have been properly examined, they will be removed from the ruleset.
