Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Always kill the drow on the latrine

Due to popular demand[1], as we had Selene participate in this session, we quietly retconned the latrine encounter to do it again. This time, the girls insisted on not attacking the drow inside, who ran away. This will later prove a mistake.

As we circled around to track him around the city, we backed into the giant spiders also from last session, and we killed them in a short battle.

Next up, I opened a room full of reptilian humanoids, who all retreated screaming into a corner. Selene put them out of their misery with a well placed Fireball.

DM's impression of what happened

The next room had 3 primitive humanoids eating corpses... I entered and disposed of them with the help of my trusty undead servants.

We progressed down the streets, only to meet a group of drow warriors head-on.

The combat encounter lasted for the rest of the session. The highlight (for me) was the best zombie ever, tanking hit after hit, surviving through 5 or 6 lethal blows until finally succumbing to the drow blades. I stood shoulder to shoulder with my trusty minion, first using Shield to great effect, then turning on Invisibility. All the while, the skeletons and the rest of the party blasted at the drow from the back.

After the zombie died, I bandaged myself while invisible. After that, there was no way to sustain the tanking anymore, so I Misty Step'd to the back and hid behind the corner. The skeletons switched to sword and shield but were soon cut down as well[2]. Ireth started taking hits, but the last of the drow soon died, and we could let out a collective sigh.
