After Skalmad tried to escape to the feywild the drow surrendered. They explained that they had been sent to seek Skalmad's aid (per the adventure). They decided that anyone capable of defeating the Troll King would be able to provide the help their queen needed. They were already sent to seek the aid of outsiders, so why did it matter which ones anyway? Their queen would use them to her ends and then kill them anyway.They proceeded to the stronghold with a drow escort. I used the lava encounter suggestion and the players got to see drow treachery at its best. One of the drow tried to jump across an expanse of lava and fell way short. The other drow guide used his compatriot as a stepping stone to get himself across, saving his own butt while condemning his fellow drow to death by lava.They killed the fanglord, but were able to ally with the other drow in that encounter. With escort they proceeded directly to the temple, encountering the street battle on the way.The Queen sent them to kill the necromancer as a test of loyalty. They decided to talk to the necromancer, who convinced them that she was barring their way to Zirithian by sending them on meaningless side agendas. He promised to give them the information they wanted if they would kill her and free him from her rule.We just finished the final battle against the queen and the party was successful with two lost comrades on their side.</blockquote>
