The matron Mothers of Menzo (as well as Gromph, who makes a comeback) do very well in defending their home. Nimor, as you no doubt have guessed has dragon blood. He's a 1/2 dragon (shadow) drow.
Re-reading your post, I note that you are aware that they got their spells back. That ends up being the turning point, for as soon as they do, they begin to obliterate the invading forces. Nimor returns to the Jezred Chaulsim (whatever) in shame.
Danifae and co. are in the Abyss (actually there, and not Astrally Projected this time) when the spells come back. If you've read earlier series, you may remember that Quenthel Baenre died in a previous set of novels. When Lolth returns, you find out WHY she's alive again.
Danifae completely ignores Valas the whole time they are gone and manages to find her old house wizard, who breaks the enchantment binding her to Halisstra, which is just as well. She manages to figure out how to operate the portals in the old wizard's house, and the recall ring back to the house.
Danifae manages to persuade Jeggred that Quenthel speaks through her, as she is also a priestess of Lolth, and Quenthel's loyal servant. Since Quenthel has been showing weakness lately, Jeggred agrees. Danifae uses to the portals to bring Jeggred to the surface, where she commands him to kill the two that betrayed them. Jeggred kills Ryld and eats his heart. Danifae, for reasons of her own, spares Halisstra, who returns to the other Eilistraean priestesses.
Quenthel is quite ticked at Danifae for giving commands in her name, but it becomes apparent that Danifae now controls Jeggred, not her.
Things change after they get to the Demonweb Pits. The whole place is deserted, and Quenthel starts to remember what it was like when she was there before. They are almost to a portal when Lolth's power returns to them. Danifae, Jeggred and Quenthel hear lolth's voice calling them. And Quenthel is once again the dominant one, as Danifae reveals that the reason Quenthel is back is because she is going to be Lolth's Chosen. Quenthel is back in the game. Before entering the portal, they meet the strange demons of legend that reveal themselves as Lolth's "midwives". The book ends with them entering the portal.
Oh, and even in light of Lolth's return, Halisstra remains faithful to Eilistraee. And she's armed with a weapon that can behead ANYTHING...even a goddess.
