In place of scaffolding, the drow workers here use
web lines and swings to get at hard-to-reach places. The
giant s piders manipulate these webs to move the drow
workers wherever they want to go. In addition to the
other spells they can cast innately, the drow workers
are blessed by Lolth with the ability to cast the mending
cantrip at will, and they use th eir magic to repair small
cracks and broken stonework. If they notice intruders,
the drow stop their work and attack with their hand
crossbows. Each worker i s sus pended 2d4 x 5 feet off
the ground.
- VLONWELV'S APARTMENTS

ofVlonwelv Auvryndar. The punishment for violating
her chambers is death.

This area consists of two chambers connected by a
s hort, 10-foot-high hallway. Vlonwelv meets with her
captains in the council room to the west and entertains
guests in the parlor to the east.
If Vlonwelv is here, the drow prieste ss of Lolth is
relaxing in her parlor while receiving counsel from
her yochlol advisor, which appears in its natural form.
Standing near Vlonwelv is her champion, Zress (see
"Zress Orlezziir," page^136 ).
Council Room. The room to the west contains a large
s pider-shaped table of sculpted stone. No chairs are
present, since Vlonwelv expects her captains to stand as
they deliver their briefings.
Parlor. The room to the east s mells of incense. It con-
tains two male drow attendants named Sharaun and
Tarzyr; they're armed but unarmored (AC 12). These
young drow dote on Vlonwelv when she's present.
The parlor is furnis hed with overstuffed chairs, cush-
ioned divans, bronze braziers containing smoldering
incense, a glass cabinet stocked with elven wines and
crystal goblets, and crystal sculptures of demons.27B. VLONWELV' S BEDCHAMBER

higher level remaining. - They have these racial traits: They speak Elvish
and Undercommon. They have advantage on saving
throws against being charmed, and magic ca n't put

entrance to a tunnel network (see area 24b).- ABANDONED APARTMENT
When various tunnels and rooms in the dungeon col-
lapsed , these chambers were almost cut off. A narrow
tunnel provides the only entra nce. After the drow ran
afoul of the w raith in area 29b, they decided not to ex-
plore these rooms further.

once depicted drow.LEVfL 10 I MUJRAL' S CAUNTLl!T
