DROW FORTRESS ASSAULT PLANNING 250107

APPROACH

• The main problem is that we have no real information, so planning an assault is basically impossible.
• Instead we should focus on Goals & Means

GOALS

• Destroy
  • the Night Swords Production/Factory in the Drow Fortress
  • Damage the Drow House of Auvryndar
• Gather Intel
  • regarding the Waterdeep Conspiracy
  • House of Auvryndar operations on 10th Level
  • Fire Cultists in Skullport
• Free the Gnomes enslaved in the Drow Fortress

MEANS

DO WE NEED TO REST FIRST?

• Last Long Rest was prior to the Battle of the Goblin Market
• if no rest, Potion of Watchful Rest for Jitters' Spell Slots?
• Arin? Mira?

COMBAT

• Expect Drow Fighters + Lolth Casters + Spiders + Quaggoths
  • Fighters have powerful poisoned Night Swords capable of 50HP hits
  • Arin, Ceol & Gimbal each have a Potion of Poison Resistance
  • Should we use the Scroll of Heroes' Feast? "...becomes immune to poison...hit point maximum also increases by 2d10, and it gains the same number of hit points. These benefits last for 24 hours.
• Do we have anything that would work particularly well against Drow?
  • Infiltrate behind Illusion Spells?
  • Assault using Light spells?
• Group-effect spells not based on Sleep or Charm?

ESCAPE/RETREAT

• Drow Town possibly reinforced
• No guarantee of safety in Skullport
• Suggest a Retreat/Rally Point back at Blood Eye outpost on L2

ASSAULT_MAP

Temple Assault

1. Hit them in room: Fireball + Spike Growth + Missiles
   • (open door for allies?)
2. Funnel them out through orange killboxes/corners, using more area effects (Evards, Grease, Lightning, etc) limiting our exposure and killing their front line. Funnel them into the catacombs if need be
3. Flappers retreating ahead of us to warn of reinforcements from danger areas
4. Retreat & rally back at blood-eye outpost on L2 if everything goes to shit.
