I know that some of you are AFK but I had the time to roll and write so I posted the turn. Once everyone is back IFK, we can start kicking IC ass.
I anticipate that this will be your toughest fight yet, with a good chance of a legit TPK. In that case, if y'all wish to continue playing, you will proceed as [temporary] slaves of the Drow.
I kind of hesitate to do this, because I don't want to encourage inattention or bail-out expectancy, but the Sun Blade should really come in handy this fight (because, in sunlight, Drow attack w/ disadvantage, and roll WIS checks at disadvantage too). I concede that there are extenuating factors that may have led to overlooking the process of identifying the magic weapon (RL distractions, choppy pacing) so I'm willing to cut y'all some serious slack and rule that, during your rest at the Deep Gnome ville, someone (Corros, most likely) ID'ed the weapon. Nic, being a sword-user, was the intended recipient of the Sun Blade, but both Gronk and Jenna have the required proficiency to effectively wield it as well. If Nic uses it, he won't be able to use his Sneak Attack feature, because the SB is not a finesse weapon.
If you're like, "no thank you- we don't need your pitty/charity Mr. sanctimonious DM," and would rather fight without it, that's fine too.
