I don't know about that. Perhaps give each item from the mob's
corpse a timer so it will expire a little after the corpse does;
but don't do it right as the corpse rots. Newbies often don't
realize the ability to "get" from a corpse until a bit after
they've explored. Remember the first time you did a "get all
corpse"? It seemed like a strange concept to be getting objects
FROM a corpse as if it were a container.
