During his travels, Bathin and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Bathin discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Bathin fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.
