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