Ankita - No live rats to be found in the area around you, but there is evidence of live rats, relatively fresh droppings, nests of chewed rubbish, etc.

"We shouldn't split up." Damian says and ushers Rhogarr and Rah'zer along to the passage with the secret door motioning for Rhogarr to take point again and move south. Perception: 15
Remi says "They will suspect us coming through the door to the north since that is the one I opened. Let's proceed through this new secret door, perhaps we can surprise them yet." Remi nods understanding to Rhogarr and urges him to go forward, Remi will hold the torch and move forward right behind him.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
All - Following the S.S. Dead Rat you find that beyond the secret door is a small square space with an alcove to the right and another passage to the left. The left passage leads to a rectangular room where something pale floats in the water in the center of the room. Upon closer inspection you see that it appears to be a dead human with knife wounds in their shirtless back.
Further down the passage you find another room. 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.

"Let's not spend more time in these sewers than necessary. These chambers seems to be clear of cultists, let's proceed Master Turnuroth." Damian says impatiently from the back. He does however take a quick look at the mask and the altar. Knowledge check if needed: 7
“What a cheerful room. Sewage, barges of dead rats, deceased inhabitants, decrepit support beams, creepy cultist displays, entrails….it really has it all. I agree with Damian, perhaps we should move on and circle back later if needed.”
“I don’t mind a little dirt, it’s just the feces that really bothers me. Speaking of excrement, remind me when we are not surrounded by it and I can perhaps discover if that mask is merely ceremonial or has some arcane properties to it. In the mean time…no one put it on their face, eh?”
Damian - The mask is three-feet (1 meter) tall and made of steel, would that fit in your shoulder bag?
Ankita - When you wade up to the body and flip it using your staff, you can see that it appears to have been a cultist of Bhaal. What's left of their rodent gnawed face is tattooed to resemble a skull. You can't quite discern a timeline for their death due to the damage done by the rats.
All - Down the passage to the south is an alcove and another passage to the east. The back wall of this dry alcove is hung with a 5-foot-wide, 7-foot-tall tapestry. It depicts a grisly scene of four faceless figures ripping apart a fifth figure, who is screaming.
“And here I thought the decor could get no better.“ Samuel says after exiting the water. He cast Ankita a wry little smile as he once again cleans himself.

Remi is disgusted by what he sees, holds his nose. He points to Rhogarr, guiding him slowly east. At the edge of the water, he holds his hands up again, urges everyone to remain silent, he gives the torch to Rhogarr to hold onto. He creeps up the to the next area to the east, suspecting he will be approaching the room that he already looked into. He looks for any sign of movement, listens, moving slowly.

Ankita nods in agreement and follows in the order they had been going, keeping the flame in her hand.

Ankita wades up to the dead human and checks to see if she can tell how long they have been dead, Investigation: 14
Damian - You recognize the mask to be a representation of the symbol of Bhaal.
“What a cheerful room. Sewage, barges of dead rats, deceased inhabitants, decrepit support beams, creepy cultist displays, entrails….it really has it all. I agree with Damian, perhaps we should move on and circle back later if needed.”
"Evidence." Damian says and puts it in his shoulderbag, unless anyone else wants it.
Ankita smiles, "Little rough down here for you pretty boys?" she chuckles softly, "might be awhile before you can clean those clothes of yours."
“I don’t mind a little dirt, it’s just the feces that really bothers me. Speaking of excrement, remind me when we are not surrounded by it and I can perhaps discover if that mask is merely ceremonial or has some arcane properties to it. In the mean time…no one put it on their face, eh?”

Oops, no, not really, Damian will just leave the mask then, unless someone else wants to strap it to their back or something.
