Dead man's chest...

After clearing the crab room the party made it's way down a waterlogged passage to an open room with a large, deep pool. Rudolpho “Olympic swimmer” Milano gets the rope in place, so the party can ferry across the pool. Then he goes on a little exploration down a secret submerged tunnel, while the party presses on. The party finds the corpse of old Penkus. Penkus was betrayed by Vanthus Vanderboren. Penkus left a scathing note cursing him, his plans on the Lotus, and his designs on the Lady of the Lotus. Penkus reveals the location on Vanthus' hideout under the Taxidermist's Hall. Penkus even begs the reader of the note to kill Vanthus and let Vanthus know that Penkus was his downfall.

Searching behind the Penkus corpse, reveals a secret door that opens to a room full of BOOTY! Arrrghh! The party nabs the loot and heads back down the passage. Nesta leroys into a zombie nest, an the party smacks them down with skill, divine wrack, and superior tactics.
