25 Drow captive (2/2)
-------
After waiting awhile she regained consciousness and makes a muffled yelp. I took her blindfold off ealier and now I can see that she isn't blind. She stares at me with a weird expression. Then she looks around and sees Kess, Set, and Xelu who has been asleep the whole time. She starts tearing up... I remove the gag.
”svelllon insa verskal!?!?” drow captive
”I can't understand a thing that you are saying.” Gin
”Common? You are human..... You should let me go if you want to live.” drow captive
”Can you say anything more stereotypical? Anyways, you should realize your current situation. I hate to be the evil guy here but, you are not getting out of here. Realistically, if I let you go, only trouble would follow. Your friends have been searching for a while and still haven't noticed this nest. Most likely they won't be able to get you out of here even if they knew this place existed.” Gin
”What?... So I.....” drow captive
”What you can tell me will determine your treatment. Who are you?” Gin
”... I am one of the leaders of the drow. Sigrid.” Sigrid
”How did you know I was hiding in the drow base?” Gin
”I have..... Special abilities that allows me to glimpse into.... the future?” Sigrid
”You don't know the full extent of your own ability, huh? Anyways, what is your group doing here?” Gin
”There has been sightings of spiders and abominations in this area. We were sent out to see if that monster's children are still around. Most of our scouts are checking her nest out. I can see we were entirely wrong now.....” Sigrid

After asking more questions I got a lot of useful information. It seems that the drow are afraid that some of the arachne queen's children may be alive. They are apparently incredibly powerful. Their scouts haven't been able to find anything in the surroundings of the nest so they have gone into the nest to see. The two other leaders, Fellia and Felix, left Sigrid behind to watch over the base as they explore the nest.
Sigrid used that time to 'please herself' with the slaves that were brought along. The structure of drow society is a bit weird. It is best described as a religious matriarchy. At the very top are the religious figures. The arch-priests. After that is the royal families of the drow, then the lesser religious figures. After that is the nobles, commoners, and slaves.
Drow usually worship three different beings. Snakes, spiders, and crows. The settlement these drow are from used to worship spiders and had the arachne queen as a 'protector'. However, they were dissatisfied with giving sacrifices so they poisoned the protector's 'mate'. The protector went crazy, killed her children and, ate her husband.

After getting a good amount of information from Sigrid, I am left with a problem. What to do with her.
