Tactics

They patrol their caverns in darkness, using Stealth. They can detect enemies up to 120 feet away. When enemies come near, they fan out and Hide. When the player characters wander into their midst, one drow in the patrol (or two, if one isn’t enough) will cast faerie fire to illuminate the interlopers, whereupon the rest will attack with surprise, using their poisoned hand crossbows. Poisoned foes will be focus fired.
Dancing light to find hiding foes.
Darkness on spellcasters.
Warriors decent in melee, use defensively to prevent PC charges. Attacks a single foe, dodges vs multiple. Will levitate to avoid detection.
Never surrender.
