Driven by her sister Faeryl's hatred, Lin has already been slowly building her powerbase.This has included the selection of a number of slaves with special talents. These slaves serve their mistress faithfully, partly due to the increased status her favor provides (in the form of lodgings, clothes and meals compared to other slaves) as well as in the hope they can manipulate their young master into helping them with concerns of their own.The PartyThree of her most important "special" slaves are:Her bodyguard, the half-orc Jin'dar - when Lin is not at Arach-Tinilith, Jin-dar is at his mistress side at all times.Messageboy - a human craftsman who can seemingly make anything and has recently gained the ability to imbue magic into items. Lin hopes to leverage this power for her benefit but both her and the crafter are desperate to keep this knowledge from everyone else, lest this valuable slave be taken by another member of House Darketh and turned into a one man sweatshop for profit.RobertLie - a human shapeshifter with powers of magic.The above is purely just me riffing - if you like the ideas, go with it, if not feel free to suggest something else.Setting InformationA couple quick bits of info for those that are not familiar with this setting:•    Slaves outnumber the drow by more than 10:1 – the possibility of rebellion is almost nil due to the significant power difference between the slaves and dark elves, created by the latters access to specialised training and magical items.•    Escape is a possibility, but any slave would be hard pressed to survive more than a couple days alone in the Underdark.•    The drow are cruel, manipulative and devious - their inherent nature is fuelled by the sinister machinations of their spider goddess Lolth.•    Drow society is matriarchal which means women rule everything – males are seen as little more than pets or tools. Even the lowest ranked female noble is seen to be higher than any man.•    Lolth only accepts female clerics – these priestesses only come from the noble House’s and hold the highest rank in the city.•    Arach-Tinilith is a cathedral in the drow city of Menzoberranzan shaped in the form of a spider and designed specifically for the training of Priestesses of Lolth.•    Talking very broadly drow society is ranked accordingly: Priestesses of Lolth >  Female Nobles > Male Nobles > Common Drow > SlavesThere are no stupid questions, so please feel free to ask for any clarifications.First AdventureThe first adventure will be around a mission Lin is given by her elders on her return from Arach-Tinilith. The "school" periodically send its students back to their Houses for small periods of time. These "holiday" periods are normally filled with various quests and missions from the House to test their nobles and utilise their newly learned skills for the betterment of the House.</blockquote>
