Decide who holds the story's key item when the carrier drops out

The one player carrying the only key to the next chapter loses connection, falls in battle, or quits the party. The rest should neither be stuck nor see the key vanish into thin air. Here is the order of who gets it, after how long, and what if nobody can.

Why this works

A shared story cannot depend on one person's presence. Giving the item exactly one holder at a time, with a patient wait before any move and a fallback place anyone in the group can reach, keeps the group moving and never gives the key two owners.

When not to use it

Skip it when the item is meant to be lost, stolen or fought over, since the carrier's trouble is then the story. Also skip it when each player owns a personal copy of the key and nothing is shared.
