The party was 9th level, and delving into this ancient sunken temple. One of the quadrants of this dungeon was submerged. The sorcerer boldly ventured forth to investigate what was ahead. An aboleth charmed him, and he drowned underwater. Later, the rest of the party went in after him, where they fought the aboleth. Nasty, nasty creatures those aboleths. Well, they also fought some eels from ToH which had a mummy-rot affect. The party emerged victorious, but everyone had some sort of affliction from either the eels or the aboleth. The cleric only had so many spells to go around, and the poor spellsword who was afflicted with the aboleth's "leprosy" disease (for lack of a better word) had to remain in the water or else his skin would rot off in the open air. But underwater breathing didn't last for 8 hours, so he had to hang out on the steps leading into the water for 8 hours while the cleric regained enough spells to get the party back to full health. So, he found a femur bone of a lizardman mummy, and used it as a snorkel to breath through for 8 hours.I should have given him a sanity check. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
