Quick Searches Can Yield Results Too

After taking cursory glances, which includes under the bed from your description, and opening one random drawer (I rolled randomly, and it was the right, lower drawer in the desk which was neither locked nor trapped), you gain the following items.

2 gold bars, easily worth 400 g.p. apiece. They are stamped with the mint of House Kundarak (The dragonmarked dwarven house that runs the banking institutions in Khorvaire).

4 potions of cure light wounds (d8+3)

2 +1 bolts with cold effect (+d6 cold damage)

A +2 sun bolt, this is a +2 bolt that does an additional 2d4 damage against undead

And under the bed...a mithril chain shirt. (Chain shirt is light armor, so Kaspar can wear it. A normal chain shirt has an Armor Check Penalty of -2 to athletic skills. Mithril chain shirts have no armor check penalty at all. The Armor bonus is +4 instead of +2, so Kaspar's AC goes up. Also, all mithril work is masterwork, so you can get it enchanted once you have the money.)

With your swag, you leave the room (using the ghoul body...ewww) and jump easily to the southern balcony in the room where you killed all those cultists while saving the six , and head down the southern tunnel. (Correct, there are no other exits here, and as I mentioned when we gamed at my apt the other areas of the sewers are no longe relevant, so you are heading south now.

As previously mentioned in a post on June 9th: Looking south Kaspar can see that the passage goes for 40 feet and then turns east (to his left as he faces south) down a stairwell. Thirty feet down is a steel door bolted shut from this side, on the west wall (to Kaspar's right).

As you approach the steel door (are you walking side-by side as the corridor/tunnel is ten feet wide or is Castille behind Kaspar?), you see that it has been opened since the last time that you were here. You smell mildew. Lots of it.

Peering through the door with your sunrod (or are you using something else?), you can see...the vat. The ratention vat that used to be full of sewer water. Above you is the catwalk, below you is the bottom of the vat. The cultists had built this door some time ago. From the vat side it fits in seamlessly, a secret door from that direction.

Indeed someone had built an alternative valve (altho no the kobold sniper who was so famously bluffing). The vat ahs been emptied. Why, you do not know.

Except...

You remember that warforged with the greataxe and mithril body that you killed with the shortspear? It's not here...

Well, nothing left there, you turn the corner, and see stairs headed down. From ahead you can see light.

(Both of you make Listen and Move Silently checks, and yes there is a guardroom down those stairs.)
