They've been exploring the tunnels and know the tower was drow fortress a long time ago.So far so good, they're infiltrating the place being very careful. They encounter quaggoths, mongrelmen, gibberlings. Some of these monsters are using the drow poison on their weapons... so chances are good that some drows are in there somewhere. Now, they found a piece of paper on a mongrelmen saying "2 then 1"They finally arrive at a place where there's a chasm 80 feet long and what seems to be a bridge on the other side in the "up" position. There's also an instrument to blow in on their side. Without thinking much, one of the PCs take the instument and blows 4 times. Naturally, mogrelmen on the other side start firing at them from arrow slits. They retreat.One of them figures out the message and they decide to wait a few hours and go back and blow "2, then 1" We stopped there.Inside, there's 4 mongrelmen, 4 quaggoths and 6 drows in various areas. The PCs had complete surprise and it could have worked. Now, they know there are some intruders and can't run away because they'll have to lower the bridge to exit.What they are doing there? This is a preliminary step to an invasion of the tower itself by the drows. They are creating gibberlings from dwarven slaves and send them out on the surface to wreak havoc  and enslaving humans. They still have many dwarf slaves including woman and children. My question: From the moment the PCs blew the horn 4 times, what steps they are taking?</blockquote>
