"More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver’s Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path.
A powerful force of orcs reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost.
For centuries, rumours of buried riches have attracted treasure seekers and opportunists to the area around Phandalin, but no one has ever succeeded in locating the lost mine. In recent years, people have resettled the area. Phandalin is now a rough-and-tumble frontier town. More important, the Rockseeker brothers — a pair of dwarves — have discovered the entrance to Wave Echo Cave, and they intend to reopen the mines.
Unfortunately for the Rockseekers, they are not the only ones interested in Wave Echo Cave. A vicious orc known as the Kinslayer controls a network of bandit gangs and orc tribes in the area, and his agents have followed the Rockseekers to their prize. Now the Kinslayer wants Wave Echo Cave for himself, and he is taking steps to make sure no one else knows where it is."
You’re drow guest is lounging in the orc leader’s quarters. She shows absolutely no fear of your group and is acting more like you lot are asking her for a favour.
Igneous moves into the door quietly closing it behind him, "so, you want to tell me what a drow is doing working for an orc" his original tone that was very calm becomes lightly more serious "or a better question is why that Orc's natural hatred of elf's didn't lead him to kill you"

“Well for starters I wasn’t ‘working for an orc’. We where negotiating when a group of violent thugs invaded and started hitting me. Secondly, the orc didn’t try and kill me because his master, Kinslayer, isn’t stupid and told him not to try. Also, there’s trying and then there’s succeeding.”

"Well then, why are you working with someone like the kinslayer, sure the prizes of riches is always great, but you elfs hate orcs as much as they hate you, so unless you where planning to betray Kinslayer, or maybe, you're scared of him.

“My what a charmingly provincial attitude you have to speak with such certainty about what a great Drow house does and does not hate; and who we will and will not betray. We hate no one living because those we hate a ground to dust and spread wide by the winds of our power. We betray no one as that is the tactic of the weak of mind, body and will. The fact that you speak thus shows that you have no honour.”

This woman is arrogance personified.
"honor smhonor, what does honor matter, the truth it doesn't, orcs and elfs are two species most pron to hating each other, yet here you are some how working with one, you hide behind a house name, not because of cowardliness, but from simple arrogance, you think it brings you power, it doesn't, are power comes from are ability to survive in this cruel word, yes I used are, why, because we're extremely similar, how, we're out casts, the people of this world view us differently, look at me, look at you, we're both stuck at the simple viewing of being less, the only difference we have, is that I don't hide behind things like honor and a house name"
Igneous prepares for the worst

The Drow sneers at Igneous "You seek to provoke me into foolish action. I am one, you are six; I have no wish to join my ancestors for so pointless a reason." She turns her back and moves to stare out an arrow slit.
DM: I don't follow what you're trying to gain here. She has told you why she is here and if you want to kill her she can't stop you. On the other hand do you really want to start a fight with a Drow clan?
Thar having watched Igneous try to achieve whatever he was trying to achieve and appearing to get nowhere asks "Well then, Lady of the Glandalhi, what was your clan willing to offer Kinslayer and his band for access to the Wave Echo Cave? Some of us may well display a provincial attitude but as we seek Kinslayer for our own reasons perhaps we could reach an accord that may benefit both us and the Glandalhi."

We have wizards who can use the cave to create magic items. For every 5 we create we will create 1 for whoever controls the cave.
Fah'lin will seek the aid and advice of the dwarves... Where is the cave? Is Kinslayer there? Is his position fortified? Does it hurt when I do this? Can we help you back to town? Have you got anything to help us on our journey? Do you have somewhere to go? Do your friends there have anything to help us?

You found a map. Yes, as the Drow told you. No one here knows. Yes, stop doing that. Thank you. Our good wishes. We can stay at the town with friends until we recover. Also no.

"So Igneous, what do you intend to do with your new pet?" asks Gijigume. "You put so much effort into aquiring her."

(He'll have to keep her chained and fed and after a couple weeks he can make a check to gain her loyalty... No that's the other pet.)
