Slaves of The Elder Brotherhood

For an uncounted amount of time these poor wretches have toiled in the underground lair of The Elder Brotherhood, their task is to break through the wall that leads into The Great Alisar Catacombs, the reported home of a great space rock worth millions.
This task seems to be in vein as they've been working at it for an untold amount of time and it would appear that no progress had been made besides a tiny hole that opens into absolute darkness.
Their number in this location totals 8 of various races and sexes. Here follows a list of captives.

• Edmund Mythey - Human male trained as a seamstress.
• Vyncis Gare - Human female merchant selling craft ale.
• Balika - Half-Orc warrior
• Lorfinas Celioneth - Elven wine maker of high esteem.
• Nainan Icefoot - Dwarven female, origin unknown.
• Argen Parre - Halfling male thief
• Krede Despan - Drow, origin unknown.
• Lefty - human male origin unknown and appears to have been driven mad.

Each prisoner has very few possessions, if any, and have been draped in bedraggled clothes, filth covers every inch of their bodies.
