"Hm? Hm. I hadn't noticed. Well, I did notice after awhile that the others had wandered off, but not the noise."He pats Evrik on the shoulder. "Good ears on ya."Biggs pulls out a few cloaks to examine. "Speaking of wandering... You sure that's the real reason why you've been off lately?

(I'm going to gather everyone up again, and i'll describe AREA 20 in it's entirety. This is what you find searching this old ruined dwarven city. I'm kinda rethinking my presentation strategies and will be trying something new next level to keep you guys together and engaged - BUT FOR NOW, here's the rest of the immediate area. Basically, i'll do more of the steering. I felt like, maybe, I was giving you guys TOO much freedom and things became a bit unrealistic. I apologize for changing my style, but this is a huge campaign, and bear with me and the campaigns "growing pains" because this is PbP and we're not at the table.)
20a: Kitchen: You guys killed some Drow guards, freed a bugbear, and three goblins here. Lythril found a few basic ingredients.
20b: T'rissa's Quarters: Two male drow were guarding this room when you quickly dispatched them. They were no match for you all. When you enter her quarters, mounted to the walls are the stuffed heads of several bugbears, hobgoblins, and goblins. A locked chest of dark wood, carved in the likeness of a spider with eyes of red crystal, rests in the western alcove. A bed with a canopy of spiderwebs fills the eastern alcove. Other furnishings include a dresser and a vanity that has an empty frame where the mirror should be. The top shelf holds an onyx spider figurine, eight sticks of incense, and a dagger with a tiny reservoir built into its hilt that holds up to three doses of a liquid poison.
20c: Quaggoth Den: Three quaggoths feast from a trough in the middle of this room. The trough contains bloody troglodyte entrails and other less identifiable fixings. You easily make short work of them, when they look up and attack you all.
20d: The Demon Mirror: This building is full of cobwebs, and a 3-foot-tall oval mirror hangs on the western wall. Eerily realistic spiders are carved into its stone frame, almost appearing to twitch and crawl. When one of you approach within 5 feet of its reflection in the mirror, the reflection disappears and is replaced with the shadowy face of a giant spider obscured by smoke. A yochlol demon appears suddenly, stares back with its one glaring red eye, and screams in Abyssal. The mirror then falls and shatters on the floor.
20e: Treasure Downstream: A vein of turquoise runs through the east wall diagonally, looking like a stream. The granite in the vein has been carved to look like a school of trout. A large, empty basin is carved into the floor at the northern end of the room.
20f: Unoccupied Quarters: Eleven padded bedrolls are spread throughout this room atop stone slabs. Each bed is paired with a small chest that doubles as a side table. The chests are unlocked and contain simple black clothes.
20g: Drow Barracks: You can hear drow talking behind this door, loudly, as if someone is retelling a tale of a massive battle, bragging.
20h: Old Dining Hall: Anchored to the rafters by short chains are four unlit iron lanterns. A solid stone table fills the west side of the room. The table, sized for dwarves, has shorter legs than most. Stone benches run the length of the table on either side, and a single stone chair stands at each end.
20i: Water Closet: We all know what happened here, right Evrik? LOL
20j: Trog Mob: Lythril freed 12 trog from this area.
20k: Gathering of Grimlocks: This room reeks of death and decay. Three grimlocks are picking hair out of their teeth in the middle of the room. The room is strewn with rocks, heaps of splintered armor, and broken weapons.
I would say that 20g might have enough drow there to warrant a fight of somewhat challenging level. The other areas had a minimal amount that was easily dispatched.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(So was the Yochol demon also a reflection in the mirror, or did it appear out of it ready to attack? If noone takes the dagger from 20b, then Biggs snatches that up when the group gets around there.)
Initiative: 18.
After meeting up with the others Mr. Biggs proved committed to keep a better on the group and go wherever they go; especially Azrael. Wedge stays perched on Grianna until combat starts. At which point, he flutters off to find some place safe to watch the fight until its end.

Grianne runs right into the middle of them and strikes the end of her staff down with a sharp echoing ringing. The sound hangs in the air for but a moment, then erupts violently with a thunderwave, damaging all nearby things for 20 thunder damage. DC 14 con save for half
Evrik rushes in with Biggs. Laughing a somewhat unsettling laugh. "More Drow scum to sooth my woes!" he shouts. (Initiative 17)
Previously... Evrik searched through T'rissa's quarters. When he was pulled from the other dimension he'd lost a Drow weapon that he and grown accustomed to unleashing back upon those dark elves. He searched her quarters to see if any such weapons had been hidden. Then he said a quick prayer asking for guidance as he pulled out a dagger to try to pick the lock on her chest. (Investigation: 17; Sleight of Hand with guidance to pick locked chest: 23)

(Okay. Now we got demons after us!)
"Well, tracy? Shall we go for a spin?"Biggs steps up within ten feet of the closest Drow and gives him a good stabbing in the jugular! Seconds after the poison hopefully starts seeping in, he rips the weapon out with explosive force. Then! He steps back to put plenty of room between himself and the meatier folk that charge into the fray.
Action: Booming Stab To Hit: 23 For: 9 piercing and thunder damage. Target also suffers the effect of whatever poison was on the blade.
(Are you kidding!? I just got that dagger!)
(Is now a bad time to ask if I got advantage for critting that initiative?)
