Velkynvelve

A drow outpost, Velkynvelve was often used as a waypoint for slaves being transported to Menzoberranzan from elsewhere in the Underdark.

Description
Velkynvelve is located in a large cavern. A ledge roughly 100 feet above the cavern floor connects several small tunnels, with rope bridges connecting the ledge to four large stalactites. Each stalactite is hollowed out providing further space in the outpost. Spiderwebs around the tips of the stalactites conceal the outpost from below.

Drow
The number of drow stationed at Velkynvelve varies as patrols and caravans leave and return. At the campaign start there appears to be just over a dozen drow soldiers, led by the drow priestess Ilvara Mizzrym.

Quaggoth
Supplementing the drow contingent are roughly another dozen quaggoth servants. These bestial humanoids seem to obey their drow masters without question.

Slaves
At the start of the campaign fourteen slaves are being held by the drow, awaiting a caravan to transport them to Menzoberranzan. They are:
 * Buppido - a gregarious derro male.


 * Prince Derendil - apparently a quaggoth, but claims he was an elven prince polymorphed by a rival.
 * Eldeth Feldrun - a shield dwarf female scout from Gauntlgrym.
 * Jimjar - a friendly deep gnome male
 * Ront - a fairly typical orc male
 * Sarith Kzekarit - a drow male who must have committed some infraction against his people
 * Shuushar the Awakened - a male kuo-toa who is a total pacifist
 * Stool - a myconid sprout, young and fearful
 * Topsy and Turvy - deep gnome twins, female and male respectively
 * The Party
