Well Done
By dropping your weapon and mentioning his family, Castille got a circumstantial bonus to his Diplomacy check that was enough to calm the man down.
"Thank the Divine," the man gasps. "Thank the Divine." The broken bottle slips from hsi hand to crash to powder, and he hugs Castille with all his strength (which ain't much, he's starving and hasn't slept).
He is Merrick. The unconscious half-elf is Praime. They were down here with a third man, fixing the welds on that grate, and doing a good job, when they heard a roar. A warforged came charging down the tunnel, screaming slogans from the Last War. The three ran, only to catch a crossbow bolt in Merrick's side. The warforged had snarled "The sniper!" and run the other way. The third man had tried to climb up the side of the retention vat, but the sniper's crossbow had felled him into the water. (You recovered that body already.)
Merrick had paused to write a warning about the sniper in his (Merrick's) own blood on the wall, and then he and Praime had run back towards the grate, hoping to climb up that ladder to the other pipe. (It runs paralell to the first pipe that you were in way back in January, and it has street access.) But somehow the sniper had made a shot from really far down (truestrike spell) and brought Praime down. Merrick dagged Praime's body here, stopped the bleeding, and then sat here with the guttering candle. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything in over a day, and only slept in snatches, afraid that the sniper would get him.
He and Praime will both need food and water, and Prame will need magical healing, because there is no way they can walk out of here under their own power in their current condition. Once you decide what to give them (or alternatively carry them, but then you can't fight well) you ahve to pick a way out.
Merrick also warns you about one big alligator, which you killed already, and he also mentions that he saw a sign of cult activity when he was down here, a symbol of some kind. He can describe it to you and then you both can make a Knowldge Religion check (DC 10).
