With her returned strength and her trusted sword and shield in hand, she follows her stuat friend as they make their way down the western corridor. As they make thier approach, she focuses her will and attempts determine what awaits them down the hall.

(OOC: Morley's casting of Cure Serious Wounds completely heals him. The statuses of the party in the first post of the INFO THREAD have been updated and should be correct. Note that a number of you still have ability damage in effect. Also, all of the spells cast during this combat that have a duration of min/level are still in effect until I say otherwise.)
Feeling somewhat restored you carefully make your way away from the scene of the encounter with the undead shadows. The cell block corridor continues for almost a hundred feet to the west, interrupted every few feet by the cells themselves. Most of their doors have been broken open or completely ripped off, and the smell of centuries of sweat and excrement mingles with the pervasive odor of mildew.
The hallway ends in another circular guard room, empty like all the others. Like before, it looks as if the guards had been here only moments ago, then simply disappeared. Half-full cups of watery wine stand next to nearly finished meals, and warmth still radiates slightly from the coals of the large brazier in the corner. The room is otherwise furnished with a table and a few chairs, in addition to a number of low shelves which hold commonplace equipment and supplies.
The only exit of the room is a door to the south-west which seems to have been torn from its hinges. Through it you can see shadowy torch light reflecting off the curving wall of the hallway beyond it. You can also hear very low moaning coming from somewhere down this corridor.
The room seems unoccupied.

Reivik creeps toward the far exit, trying to be as quiet as possible (OOC: Untrained Move Silently check). Remarkably noiseless despite his plate armor he glances out of the ruined door.
The corridor continues in a south-westerly direction for less than 10 feet before making a turn to the left and heading directly south. He cannot see beyond the bend, but standing in the doorway he detects the smell of rotting meat coming from somewhere beyond it.
Back with the main body of the group, Gregor's enhanced sense of smell picks up the same, but to him the information conveyed is much more detailed. At least three or four humanoid bodies lie decaying in the area to the south, having been dead for a few days, possibly a week.
A single man's moaning can still be heard echoing through the underground passageway from the same direction.
