Manatee Island

Count Drake sent the Legion of Boom here to steal an incriminating Quest Item of Bolstering Undead. The guards were drawn away by one of Drake's many machinations, though many mindless and insane experiments remained.

The Sithicus Imperium were performing many questionable experiments here. They were dipping (dead?) ogres in colorful liquids to create better zombies. They were also experimenting with ghouls. They seemed to be subjecting the ghouls to starvation and torture (possibly using small amounts of positive energy) for unknown reasons. The ghouls were contained within a field which allowed the party through, but not the ghouls.

There was a nifty elevator in the ghoul pen which took way too long to figure out, since nobody in the party was a dwarf. Once the elevator was lowered, the shaft was exactly the right size for Akur to cast a flame strike down on the gathered experiments below.

Later Akur tried to melee an Ogre with a stick and nearly died. He learned a valuable lesson that day: Things aren't fair and he should continue to try to hit them.
