Drow Tactics

 

  • Patrol groups usually separate into smaller bands to prevent foes from trapping them in a narrow tunnel or dead end passageway. 
    • Scouts go in front and behind a patrol
  • Ambushes and counterambushes are common, and
  • hit-and-run tactics are the norm. 
  • A favorite drow tactic is to levitate near a cavern ceiling while cloaked in magical darkness
  • Silence bubbles (not the full 15' radius, b/c it makes you deaf)

Dwellings:
  • gotta have many escape routes b/c, many things burrow through stone

Mining is noisy aka dangerous:
  • Mining expeditions are particularly dangerous, for they generate a great deal of noise and must be defensible.
  • Dwarves and svirfneblin always establish traps and blinds in the surrounding tunnels before excavating, and they
  • keep numerous escape routes ready.
