Drop Dead Ned

The party heard rumors that the criminal Ned Shakeshaft was back in town. Upon investigating, they found out he had stopped in the The Empty Net to talk to the barkeep. He dropped an ominous hint that he could be found at the Tower of Zenopus.
The party later found Ned in the hidden laboratory of the mad drocomancer Keledeck. He had been turned into a horrible draconc abomination that the party was forced to slay.
