In place of scaffolding, the drow workers here use
web lines and swings to get at hard-to-reach places. The
giant spiders manipulate these webs to move the drow
workers wherever they want to go. In addition to the
other spells they can cast innately, the drow workers
are blessed by Lolth with the ability to cast the mending
cantrip at will, and they use their magic to repair small
cracks and broken stonework. If they notice intruders,
the drow stop their work and attack with their hand
crossbows. Each worker is suspended 2d4 x 5 feet off
the ground.
