I'm a new dm and just started my first campaign. The party I'm running for is rather small (2 players) but I figured having the few npcs they start out with would really help balance combat encounters.
And it did up until Ilvara (priestess of lolth) caught up with them in the last session and summoned a demon. Things went downhill for the party from that point and although no pcs died, they have been recaptured. I figured she would take them to menzobarezzan but I'm blanking on how she would get them there seeing as how her and asha were the only two who survived the encouter on the drow side. Also one of the players has dawnbringer now and I'm not sure what ilvara would do with it. I was thinking she would want to get it back to her house and use it to advance her position.
Any advice for these questions or just general advice in how to run this next session would be awesome and greatly appreciated! 🙂
Demons are loose int he underdark. Between where the party was captured and Ilvara's destination, they can be attacked by said demons, or Duergar or a rival house of Drow, or (and so on). Each battle is an opportunity for your party to escape.

I'll probably have to have it be a rival drow house. Demons were used to help get them out of the outpost earlier on and I dont want to be repetitive with the story. Maybe taking them back to the outpost would potentially help them in escaping again as they could get some help from the few npcs that didnt escape in the initial run. I know this group pretty well and they arent going to leave without their stuff lol.
