Cannot tell what but you know he did use a bluff if you have means later clarify did he lie/deceive in this interview or not or Ilmlim feel up try do better than matron mother.<br/></div></div><br/><strong>Elvas'thrae</strong><br/>HP: 43/43<br/>AC: 18 (flat 16, touch 12)<br/>Status: Normal<br/>Effects: Mage Armor (greater) (11 hours)<br/><hr/><br/>Elvas listened matron mother's speech and her questions and hearing Ilmlim's comment he smiled to him and says; "You do not need swing that direction to enjoy breaking your enemies Ilmlim, create humiliation itself can be addicting experience itself." Turning attention to matron mother with his deep red eyes he starts profile his life in front of matron mother; "Well, I try answer best to your questions revered mother. Please, take a seat and some wine."<br/><br/>Elvas chanted and with gesture floated a comfortable divan close to Lird'yl along with reaching into his pouch to take out a uncorked wine bottle and pair of crystal glasses. He brought up also metal tray where he placed the wine bottle and the glasses and floated the tray towards Lird'yl and Ilmlim while he started his tale while pacing little from his position and often tapping finger in his chin while gazing to roof when he recalled the distant events from past;<br/><br/>"I was born to city of Sshamath, or more familiarly known as<strong>City of Dark Weavings</strong>. As short history lesson for you is needed understand my situation. The city was founded four thousand years ago, it was run like standard matriarch city which gave reference to Lolth, however two thousand years ago the place's natural magical aura, the<em>Faerzress</em>, fluctuate and weakened. Also prior that three centuries matriarchs had given births to more sons than daughter's, the average what you have here was reversed in the city.<br/><br/>It resulted in explosive increasing number of wizards and mages in city, and as we had no natural enemies to fight against the wizards and mages had lots of idle time to scavenge ancient ruins for more magical lore and power and then as combined effort there was a very brief, what tales tell less than a day lasting, civil war where all mages and wizards of the city overtook the place by slaughtering all matriarchs and their daughter's who did not submit to male's rulership. As side note I myself have no such intentions repeat the history of that event in here nor anywhere else, I myself believe it was a will of Lolth to let it happen so all other cities know both respect and fear male drow wizard's might and know that things can change drastically if matriarchs start slack in their reverence.<br/><br/>Now at present the city is one most wondrous place of magical lore and goods unrivalled by anyone else, there is beautiful made temple of Lolth hanging in roof of city's dome to give lip reference to patron deity of Lolth but her and her priesthoods role is minimal, at most more commonly see priestesses there as wealthy invinduals as wizards do need their spells for few creations what they work in their magical laboratories. There is no gender bias between male or female arcanist, as both genders are presented in the council altough males are dominant in numbers.<br/><br/>Now, the place is ruled by council made from wizards and in general rule anyone who has aptitude and skill for wizardic magic is considered free and privileged invindual. However, my case I was born something what every wizard shames in city from their offspring; I had innate talent for sorcery which manifested before my gifts in wizardry. It's a taboo and source of ridicule as in city only wizardic styled arcane craft is respected, where sorcery is considered just being lesser mage or handicapped. I tried rectify this by starting study exclusively to learn cast spells as wizard to remove the stigma.<br/><br/>However my father saw only my flaws and despite my efforts to get recognized as wizard they only saw a sorcerer who wanted to be a wizard or even some said I was just fooling around as it is impossible make difference between casting spell as wizard and sorcerer. So I left the city and started work as mercenary and focus entirely self-study as wizard as I have always did, as I had to pay my lessons even back at Sshamath where normally my own father would had tutored me into the Art. I studied and learned evocation and battlefield control magics like transmutations and illusions or enchantments and some handy divination's as part being mercenary battle mage for hire. I do know some abjurations for personal protections and I do indeed know necromancy spell and have vampiric touch spell in my spellbook for few occasions and conjurations do make some wonderful uses occasion.<br/><br/>However I discovered that it was hard not to kill opposition what warband seeked to enslave, so I studied ways how muffle my spells lethal power to become merely extremely painful to knock down foes unconscious. Also to ease up affecting foes with mind targeting spells, like fellow drows, I learned briefly weaken their resolve with direct harmful spells. Then overtime I started hobby which I enjoyed to do as part of my work; breaking will of captured prisoners and turning them nice slave material. Consider my lifestyle I myself had no chance to own slave operation ring but I had worked countless ones in past as temporal arcanist specialist. My spells which do not kill but can cause lot pain and also drain will of prisoners has made me quite popular few slave operation rings where I have worked briefly in-between my main jobs when opportunity has arisen.<br/><br/>Over time I learned not to despise my sorcerous heritage and instead took analytical wizardic view to my sorcerous spark; wondering can I harness my innate gift for greater power as wizard? I have made some success in that field and learn how combine my sharp wizardic intelect work in fusion with my sorcerous blood granted magic. Often use my innate spark to add effects to my wizard spells to make them more potent or vice versa, also learning more sorcerous spells which are good to have always in hand and so it frees my mind to store spells which have more utility value and save only few spells for devastating power in daily preparations as wizard."<br/><br/>Now Elvas walked to the box, smiling spinning it around show how it without sound spinned and said; "Now this one is one my personal homework projects which I have designed and worked with. It's incomplete as you said. Also indeed it's meant to store person inside it but besides apparent discomfort it is sophisticated torture device meant to break captured prisoners. You see idea what I had in mind was a efficient punishment method for prisoners which prepares them for actual verbal interrogation or brainwashing session or when they misbehave but not waste my own personal time to do so nor bother do complex things like summon a outsider do the work for me, not mention it can be unreliable or lead to death of a prisoner.<br/><br/>Now this box here is arcane locked already, meaning the lid opens only by specific command word spoken and seals up when said other word. Second anyone placed inside the box is targeted by specific working animate rope spell which places leather harnesses and straps to fix them into specific position which is not lethal but perhaps bit uncomfortable. Idea is that this hole here..." Elvas taps one the lid closed holes and continues; "...is meant for mouth and second is for cunt if female or closed if it's male. The thing is that once inside strapped the victim's ass is penetrated by a smooth metal dildo which is either lubricated or not lubricated by preference. Also area inside the box will be under a silence spell, it's not targeted to victim who may resist it but be just innate quality of the box. So person put there cannot make out heard screams, words or cast spells at all. So no one would even know who or what is inside the box."<br/><br/>Elvas points the buttons and says; "Now comes interesting part; the mouth is forced open by metal ring so victim's mouth is open and not allowed use their teeth on whatever pushes in. So when this lid is open it allows any male personnel to thrust their cocks to mouth of their victims. Catch is that there will be sign where will be read that if they are pleased from oral work of the victim they press green button, if not they press the red one. The difference? Green one is meant to give a priestly spell known as lesser vigor to the victim and also give some sexual oriented programmed stimulation by mage hand spell which is triggered each time and lasts only a minute. The red? It gives painful electric shock to victim's anus which also harms down their will short time and back hatch opens if there is female there. Allowing the male who used mouth to use the female victim's cunt to please themselves. Lesser vigor is meant as sadistic reward for victim who just happened please a male so they do not pass out too soon from pain created by electric anal dildo." Elvas sighs and steps back from the box and again turns face Lird'yl.<br/><br/>After short pause he continues; "I have not been able finish that wonderful project myself, as price would ask do many jobs and I had to rents to pay and so scrolls to get. If funded I could finish it and actually get on field test how effective it actually is. If it works it can be revolutionary prisoner breaking device which could increase output of slave breaking rings double if not triple it."<br/><br/>Elvas then points on beautiful made unfinished ruby collar and says; "That one would be meant for broken slave. I call it<em>collar of concubine</em>. It is meant to be cursed collar which cannot never be removed and will allow the user take whatever physical harmless form as through using alter self spell. Also have function which allows the user of specific rod to control the shapechange at-will on concubine if not instigated by concubine herself and use said form as default form which they return between shapeshifts. It also allows to give a nonlethal electric shocks many times as you want and shocks have same will draining trait as in the box. So besides robbing freedom of broken slave you could rob sense of their own form, become whatever the user of the rod desires and give disciplinary shocks in close range to concubine if she ever fails in task.<br/><br/>You can increase further control to cast geas spell but adding it to collar would make it way too expensive and some may not desire use it anyway, as such collar can serve well as gift to someone if you purchase it and destroy the rod as each collar punishment mode is tied only to one rod at during creation. If owner wants multiple collars then multiple collars can be tied to single rod, allow send multiple shocks same time if you want punish whole harem same time in single action." Elvas then focus again to matron mother and says; "If you want further details about my past, jobs I did or more detail what spells I know exactly I will answer you revered mother. My desires at moment is simply have more time to study more spells added to my spellbook as I feel still quite limited and I know there are many spells what I would like to add to my repertoire, as I am skilled maker of magic items and so I could craft many useful things or use magic more varied ways in your service. Another is of course funding and support finish some my projects if possible but that's up to you to decide revered mother. My ultimatum however is to become this, or really any, city's archmage so I could spit on face of my father to prove that I had greater talent than him who is mere low ranked but slightly talented mage working in a potion workshop."
