Setting up an ambush for the PCs to walk into will increase the challenge of the encounter, but generally speaking, because of the darkvision and most races' need for illumination, an encounter with drow in the underdark will likely start by the drow being aware of the intruders first, therefore able to organize an attack, and therefore gaining a quick advantage at the outset of combat.Once the PCs locate them and start returning fire, they will be able to kill the drow quickly; that can be a tough proposition when you don't know where in the pitch black of the underdark to attack.</blockquote>
