Slave Pen

Velkynvelve’s slave pen is closed with a heavy iron gate bolted into the stone. The cave is built to hold captives until they are sent to Menzoberranzan to be sold as slaves.

The prisoners are provided with clay chamber pots, and one of the duties of slaves is to empty them into the pool during their shift. There are no other comforts in the slave pen. Prisoners must sit or lie on the stone floor, and are fed only once each day — a thin mushroom broth served in small clay bowls passed through gaps in the bars of the gate.

Magical Wards
The drow have placed powerful wards on the slave pen to inhibit spellcasters and shield the area against scrying attempts. Spells cast within the slave pen have no effect, and any slot or magic item charge expended to cast such a spell is consumed. The wards don’t suppress or negate spell effects that originate outside the slave pen. For example, a creature under the effect of an invisibility spell remains invisible when it enters the slave pen.

Creatures inside the slave pen can’t be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors.
