As you start out through the flooded tunnel, you move through the tunnel for a while before you come to a room, nothing more than a bit wider section of the tunnel. Floating face-down in the area is a dead body.
Thorik takes a look at the body. Can he see any clear sign as to how the person was killed without actually going and examining it up close? A dagger sticking out of the back or something similar.

Zogri notices Thorik inspect the body and move closer to try and aid him in this. Perhaps i can assist you with that Zogri kneels with his front legs to be able to inspect the body as well.
(i can offer the help action or try a medicine roll myself)
"You're mad lads aren't ye? Prancing towards a floating corpse without even knowing if the water is deep. Here, take this in case we need to pull yer ass out of it."
Gralmor makes an adjustable loop on the other end of his fifty feet hempen rope, handing it to any of his two comrades who wants to take it while holding on the other end as an anchor.
Water ends up only staying at the same 2 feet deep as the two check out the body. They are able to determine that the body was stabbed in the back. It seems he has been dead for about 2 days. There is nothing on it, the shirt and any other items clearly having been taken already.

(Can we determine if it was a local person as in a race that we expect here or if it was a demon or zombie? If its anything out of the ordinary Zogri will mention this to the group.)
Zogri looks at Gralmor Thanks for the effort but the water isnt very deep for me, but ill hang on to the rope anyway if your walking in front. Ill be an anchor for you in case the some places are deeper.
He chuckles for a moment looking at how high the water is already for the short dwarves.
Then his face turns serious again looking at the corpse and the darkness ahead.
Do you see anything ahead Gralmor? Perhaps we are being watched already
A shiver goes through Zogri's spine just thinking about how far he might have to walk in these narrow wet and dark tunnel.
After some more walking through the water-logged tunnel you come to the following...
Three wooden beams brace the ceiling of this flooded chamber, which features a stone altar covered with entrails in the northeast corner. Hanging on the wall above the altar is a three-foot-tall steel mask cast in the form of a frowning human skull.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Might have well some use fer it."
Gralmor loops himself with the rope and hands the other end to Zogri as he attempts to recognize what is the significane of the hanging steel mask on top of the altar in religious terms.

Perception if he can try 10
Give me a medicine check with disadvantage.
Medicine 5
From the distance you can tell he was beat up pretty bad, but just can't quite see clearly enough to figure out what did it.
Thorik will go to the body and inspect it more closely. Both for a more specific cause of death and for anything that is on the body.

Thorik moves over to make some room.
(You should probably helm this one. My medicine is pretty terrible. I'll help you if I can.)

It’s a bit in the nose for a cult called the Dead Three isn’t it? You’d think they’d at least hide the bodies

Nope, just a normal human body. Nothing out of place or anything strange.

Thorik scans the room. Is there anything else other than the altar and mask on the wall?

Religion: 21 + 4
Nope.
You recognize that the steel skull mask represents the visage of Bhaal.
"Should we push on with caution or with purpose?"
I’d say caution This water slows our movement down and if we make too much noise whoever’s been doing all this killing will definitely come looking
Damrius will cast Mage Armour on himself in preparation for any ambushes
