Looking down the east passage, Marcus finds that it leads to a smaller room, also completely filled with water. There are two large benches in here and a number of cubbyholes in the walls, suggesting a locker room or dressing room. At least one of the cubbyholes seems to have something in it...
Of more pressing concern, however, is the creature that stands in the middle of the locker room. It appears to have once been human, but no more. It has mottled, decaying flesh that is drawn tight over clearly visible bones. It is mostly hairless and has a mouthful of sharp teeth. It wears only the tattered rags of what might have once been clothes.
ROUND 1
Before Marcus can react, the hideous creature swims toward him, moving through the water with surprising grace. Without a sound (not that you could hear it underwater, anyway), it bares its teeth and takes a big bite out of Marcus' flesh! [3 hp damage, and Marcus needs a Fortitude save DC12 to avoid being paralyzed!]
