1. Southern Watch Tower: Two drow guards watching the southern tunnel, they probably have a signal horn just like the northern one does.
2. Barracks: Never allowed into the barracks only when operating the lift could anyone glimpse inside. There are pallets (how many unknown), and ropes holding lanterns crisscrossed from wall to wall.
3. Main Hall: Inside are four circular tables each surrounded by five chairs. Part of the hall is used for food preparation and storage. Stocks include dried and fresh fungi, dried fruits, cheeses, preserved meat, barrels of water, and a few clay pots of spices, A heavy iron brazier, heated by slow burnig wick and oil from below, provides heat for cooking along with a dim light. There are plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and knives in the area. Besides taking meals here the drow spend their leisure time at the tables playing at dice.
4. Elite Barracks: Not allowed in these stalatite homes because they house the elite warriors and under-priestess of the compound. Quaggoth have been seen going in and out freely, and are assumed to be used to keep the two areas clean.
5. Lift: A wooden platform and mechanical pulley system has been constructed between both area 4s and is operated and guarded by two quaggoths. The basket is big enough to hold 4 medium size creatures comfortably. It will not raise or lower on it's own and muat be operated by a STR check (with one other person allowed to use the Help action on this check). It is well maintained and takes no time at all to reach the top or bottom.
6-8. Shrine to Lolth: A steep rope bridge leads to the upper level of the largest hanging tower. The floor of this circular chamber is covered by dark silken mats with pale webstrand patterns woven through them in silvery thread. In the center of the room is a wooden pedastal with a spider statueete carved from jet. There are cushions scattered throughout the room (used during prayer services), and a large trained spider lives in the corner. A rope ladder lads down to the lower levels. Only Thia was taken below, most prisoners are brought before the head priestess and questioned on the upper level. The middle level is the quarters of Ilvara and they are lavished with silken curtains, a divan like bed, a private shrine, and a black-stained chest in the corner. The lowest level is a torture chamber and small cell for special prisoners or those that cause to much trouble.
9. Waterfall: A small waterfall cascades down the eastern wall from the darkness above. Climbing the walls within five feet of the falls would be very tricky, but would lead down to the pool below (no webs blocking the way below). Barrels and wooden chutes are used to collect water from the falls because the ledge doesn't go right up to it.
10. Guard Tower: Three guards are always present somewhere in the tower or along one of the two rope bridges. There is an arrow slit window that one guard is always at and watching the western tunnel, a small stand under the window has a signal horn on it. The tower has a rope ladder leading to a second-story that no prisoner is allowed to enter, not even JimJar has been up there and he has been everywhere. A patch of spider-silk webbing set with hooks holds a lantern from the ceiling.
11. Slave Pens: Everyone is familiar with this area.
12. Quaggoth Den: From the slave pen a set of stone steps lead down to the cave used by the dozen quaggoth's of Velkynvelve. The place is littered with nest like mounds of debris and scattered bones, and the place smells of rotten meat and fetus.
13. Northern Watch Post: A small alcove where two drow are stationed to watch the north tunnel for the arrival of the Menzoberranzan convoy. When they are spotted the use thier signal horn to alert the compound.
14. Pool A naturally formed pool that travels north out of the cavern to end up who knows where. The drow use the pool to dump waste and garbage. [/sblock]View attachment 91622
