After looting the goblins you decide to hole up in Splug's quarters and have a well-deserved rest. When you awaken refreshed, you investigate the tunnel that Sneep explains used to be the reservoir but is now too dangerous for goblins to enter. He decides to wait this one out.
The room at the end of the hall holds a deep pool of water surrounding a small island. Within moments, the still water ripples as though something is moving beneath it. A horrible ooze erupts from the water, and battle is joined. Despite its acidic attacks, your combined efforts finally destroy the creature. Investigating the island you find a magical shield and a scroll case containing several letters. It appears that a nearby tribe of hobgoblins, called the Bloodreavers, sent an emissary to Kalarel's outpost, looking to establish friendly relations and a slave trade. It seems that the emissaries were rebuffed by Kalarel, but not before they managed to contaminate the keep's water supply with this ooze creature.
Finally it is time to descend further. Sneep tells you not to go, but he's not the bravest of the bunch. You leave him to guard Splug's quarters, dreams of becoming the next Balgron dancing in his head.
Within moments of entering the crypt you are assailed by the undead. You are not really surprised. Though they come in waves, it is not long before two dozen zombies lie hacked and dismembered in the chamber. For now you ignore the southern passage and continue to explore the northern reaches of the crypt.
