Illianka and Kharona have kept pace with the driders easily, and they slow down after running for about two minutes. By this point everyone except Kharona is fatigued.

Should you choose to do battle with the three surviving driders you each get a partial action as you catch up to the driders, then combat begins normally.

Illianka held her hand back to stop her companion from charging into the middle of the group. That wouldn't get them anywhere, especially with fatigue slowing her limbs. Without thinking, she immediatly started sketching images in the air with her fingers, relaying a simple message in Drow Sign without realising that the chances of being understood were slim to none. [Private to Kharona Azahhl: on the off-chance you do understand, the plan is to wait 'till they make camp for the night and slit their throats as they sleep.]
