You are dead.

Venture into the dark.
You see an obscured figure huddled by himself in the not-so-dark cave. It's probably the ragman. He seems to be convulsing - perhaps terrified of the lack of facial hair on your alabaster maxilla or maybe he's asphyxiating - good thing you don't have to breathe!
How do you respond?
>>1527503
Come closer to him and order him (with bone rattling and hand signs) to stand up.
if he cant see us, get right in his face and pat him on the back
if he sees us, wave
It can definitely see you. Its right eye (your right) is particularly bulgy-looking. Whatever. You cautiously approach it, waving your right (his left) hand limitedly, gesturing him to get up. He stirs, not shaking anymore. He gets on his knees and spits a black liquid at you. Blood?
>>1527605
Grab him and pull him out of the cave.

He's surprisingly heavy. Still spitting out a lot of black stuff. Some of it seems to have gotten onto your hands.
>>1528163
Drag him until he bleeds out. And then loot him.
You reach the surface. The ragman's body seems to have dried up, perhaps due to the lack of hydrostatic pressure or something. He's still very heavy though - fortunately you don't have to drag him very far before he starts coughing in a pre-mortem kind of way. All the while, he's singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfAuFAgHpzc in the most beautiful, fragile voice. He is dead.
You just realized that your inventory's been filched while you were underwater (except for your rusty shiv, which you brought with you). Feeling ragman's corpse, you pick up a binky and some hard object covered in black gunk.

Clean the object covered in gunk

Alright. That was gross. Incidentally, you might also still have that ring you were chewing on earlier. Not that that's super important now.
>>1528521
clean the object, steal the ragman's clothes to further disguise ourself as some sort of emaciated leper.
