This is quickly becoming a favorite game for me... Seems like so many here are put together shoddy and quickly. This one on the other hand, seems to have a very polished shine to it.

(Honest)
Thanks for the compliment. I have a lot of source materials for this game: the Salvatore novels including the War of the Spider Queen, the Menzoberanzan boxed set, various other underdark resources, the City of the Spider Queen module, and so on. Lots of factions among the NPCs (cast of thousands). I have an epic story in mind. And there really exists a Vast Conspiracy (for the conspiracy theorists).
Play by post is a little bit slower than I thought it would be, but everyone learns by experience.
Oh, while I'm on the topic, Kilcif can have another level (i.e. ECL 13). That will make all the characters between ECL 13 and ECL 15.

I know their was a general post about Mantol Derith. a few pages back, but how about a list of rumors about why the Drow want the slaves for, well besides the “official" rumor. I know my chatacrter would be slightly interested, even if he fringes indifference, there could be coins involved.
Rumor #1: Matron Baenre, ruler of the first house of Menzoberanzan, wants to do a grand sacrifice of 666 humanoids at once.
Rumor #2: The city of Menzoberanzan is preparing for war and they want the extra slaves as additional troops to die in the first wave.
Rumor #3: A couple of stalactites fell off the ceiling in Menzoberanzan and smashed several buildings. The slaves are needed as extra workers for repairs (and replacements for slaves who died in the crash).
OOC Real Reason that members of House Millithor know, but Kilcif does not: After the slave revolt in Menzoberanzan, the vast majority of the slaves were put to death or fled. The slaves that were sent to Menzoberanzan are replacements for some of the dead slaves.
