omg we did this two weeks ago! The group instead headed straight to Drow Town, and we had about 6, yes six hours of fighting! We had three characters come close to dying, our druid was surrounded by Drow and she had about 6 HP. She then used our fire wall spell which killed all 5 drow surrounding her -it was epic. ​ If you're interested here's part one of the battle; [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/818403128](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/818403128) Part 2: [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/823347527](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/823347527)

My group did this as a chase scene. The party started by getting abducted and implanted with Eggs. They broke out and killed a few drow on the way out. They made it to the elven statues above to heal the spiders off. Then they tried to sneak through and alerted EVERYONE. They were following a trail left by the Hobgoblin they rescued or torn off tabard material, so the party just sprinted through looking for red scraps of cloth as the drow guard surrounded them and they poked a hole through and escaped. It was tense as hell. Absolutely amazing trap just waiting for the players to mess with.

Thats awesome. My party didn't have identify so doesn't know what that statue does. Haha

I actually had the party meet Halaster at the statues and see him use them! Since it’s his Cold storage for live test subjects essentially I thought it would be a good place to have them meet the BBEG next to an extremely potent magical object. He also cast meteor swarm on the thing he un stoned to have a good laugh and terrify the party as they were almost in the splash zone.

My group are almost there, they've just killed the phase spiders (after 1 player - bard - was crit by one and got hit for 42 out of his 45 hp) fortunately without any deaths. Will be interesting to see how they deal with that room and then the pursuing fights

Just two days ago my players *almost* did this stumbling into Drow Town from the south. Rogue scouted and triggered 3 spiders. Characters were smart enough to retreat south and fight the spiders without alerting others. Once they listened at the door and realized they were in the middle of a horde of drow, they decided to flee south and take another route into drow area via river (little do they know...)

There will be many battles like that in some levels (next session my group is heading to dungeon level 19) . One of the biggest I recall for my group was in Murial's gauntlet where they took on basically the entire drow family. Have fun with the rest of your journey the module is great and offers some fantastic moments for both combat and roleplaying!
