Quevas enters his room for the first time.  Glancing around he finds the accommodations well beyond what he expected.  Closing the door behind him and immediately casting a spell on the door he walks further into the room dropping his belongings on the floor in the corner.  He feels that this room is too clean for his items.  Quevas observes the bath in the corner and steam coming off it.  A wry smile forms on his face as he begins to undress and approach the bath.  Finally feeling clean he walks toward the bed and sits down and enjoys the comfort it and his future may offer. 

Quevas explores the compound over the next few weeks, eventually discovering the House Wizards room.  He knocks and introduces himself to the drow that answers.  House Wizard Caelcoth Hyluan, a gangly and unusually tall drow, introduces himself and acknowledges Quevas inviting him in.  Matron Freth told me you may eventually visit me.  Please make yourself at home and explore the area freely and feel free to ask any questions.  Quevas thanks Caelcoth with a small bow and begins to explore this room as it offers numerous books and scrolls.  Observing what appears as a red statue in the corner he is surprised when his hand is burned.  A small fire mephit becomes animated and giggles as it burns Quevas’s hand when he tried to inspect him.  Tkoodlevunch stop that he is my guest!!  My apologies Master Quevas he has a mischievous streak in him.  Tkoodlevunch in a helium sounding voice “Sorry  master, hehe,  I couldn’t resist”. Master Quevas this is Tkoodlevunch my associate.  Quevas watches as the mephit scrambles across the room and ceiling to rest on Caelcoth’s shoulder.  Very pleased to meet you Tkoodlevunch and Master Caelcoth maybe in time I may call upon you to learn your mysteries and secrets?? 

Quevas enjoyed practicing his craft during the raid on Silverbrook.  His brother’s with the help of the hired troll fodder easily overcame the towns defenses.  The pleasure Nazmyr took in burning the child to control the remaining surface dwellers troubled Quevas.  Looking away he sees a middle aged, by human standards, male holding a book tightly to his chest as he stared at the burning child.  Looking around at the remaining people this actually appeared to be one of the few intelligent things left out here.  Quevas approaches the human and catching his attention motions him aside.   I am your Master Quevas Vandree and you are??  The man was shocked at first but quickly recovered announcing that he is Don’an Ridwyn the Planner, scribe and right-hand to the his voice trails off as he says mayor.  Quevas smiles “No longer Don’an, you now work for me”.  Lead me to the mayors office as I am claiming it as my work study.  Don’an leads Quevas into the tower towards the top where the mayors office once overlooked the town.  Upon entering Quevas states “Excellent this is now mine!!”  Looking at Don’an “If you care to stay on the surface you will do everything I tell you from now on, understood??” Don’an looks out the window at the flying flaming child and nods his head vigorously.  Your first task Don’an is to relax as you will be untouched as per my instructions and there-by safe.  Then you will sit at that desk there and compile a list, a census so to speak,  of all the townsfolk living here at present.  Next to all there names you will right there current location being dead, slave, servant or away??  If they are away or missing I need to know immediately.  Fail me by trying to hide any names or information and I’ll let my brother make an example of you.  Quevas points out the window to the human torch.  Make sure this room is also reupholstered immediately as your mayor had ghastly tastes.
