I may be coming at this from the wrong angle (i.e. being too simulationist) but I'm curious about what appears to be our current course of actoin.
Given that spellcasters haven't regained their spells (which is by current understanding)
Are we really, instead of going back up into the nice, safe extra diminsional space, going to wander around with lights in drow territory for an hour then (assuming that we don't get involved in another fight) camp out there?
Can someone explain why to me?
I know morph mentioned blood but drow aren't sharks. If they -do- notice our fight and come to invvestigate they may not notice the 'trick but there is no way they won't be able to track (and catch up with) a half dozen non-natives.
I guess I was under the impression that we were hiding out in the 'trick b/c we didnt want to run the risk of fighting the drow. I'm not sure how having a punishing fight with mind flayers changed that...
And there's also the whole issue of the 'trick-being-scry-proof, which people seemed to be very concerned about.
