Khessa can't finish cheering for the new hits with which his companions have knocked down other kuo-toas, which immediately brings two bitter surprises: some kuo-toa still have spears to attack, despite having just thrown them. They must have had more than one with them!
'Curse! In any case, they won't be able to have an arsenal with them, I hope...' the blonde arcane warrior tries to console herself.
But another unexpected event immediately occurs: the kuo-toa monitor, who was fighting with Ebzer, manages to get away from him without suffering any retaliation and attacks poor Silas! The (in this case not too much) lucky cleric is immediately felled by a barrage of blows.
'That beast must be stopped! And quickly, so we can help Silas recover!' realizes the tall adventuress and with determination runs to recover the net she had thrown earlier and tries to use it against the boss 'At least, if I hit him, he won't be able to move and do any more damage; at least not immediately... and everyone will be able target him pretty easily!'
Attack with the net: Attack: 5 - creature hit by a net is restrained until it is freed. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net.
"Darn!" is forced to admit Khessa, when yet another net attack misses "This weapon has interesting effects, but I still have to figure out how to throw it effectively!"
Buppido then tries to reuse the previous tactic: while the kuo-toa monitor is concentrated on avoiding the net, the derro aims at it with the crossbow...
"You're getting less good at distracting our opponents, Khessa" he mutters, as his shot also misses "You almost might as well start hitting them again..."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With Silas down and Ebzer looking in trouble, Katryl aims her bow at the monitor. (Shortbow Attack: 20 Damage: 14 piercing)
She again tries to hide herself. (Bonus Action - Stealth: 27)
Eldeth also tries to shift her attacks over to the monitor, firing twice at the creature. (Longbow Attack: 10 Damage: 8 piercing) (Longbow Attack: 10 Damage: 7 piercing)
Despite his many wounds, Ebzer's rage gets the better of him as he sees the monitor strike down the friend that had just healed him. Perhaps foolishly, he lashes out with a Reckless attack at the Monitor Kuo-toa.
(Attack: 18 Damage: 15)
(Contingency 2- If the monitoris dead:)
He will instead charge the nearest kuo-toa, (but not recklessly)
Still cursing in drow, Traydark continues to desperately try to free himself of the annoying Kuo-Toa net. Str check: 11
Sarith turns his Hand Crossbow on the closest Kuo-Toa. Hand Crossbow: 23 Another roll if advantage due to faerie fire: 20 Piercing: 3 DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also unconscious while poisoned in this way.
Success to escape the net! The Kuo-Toa is hit and is currently poisoned! (KT F)
With Silas down and Ebzer looking in trouble, Katryl aims her bow at the monitor. (Shortbow Attack: 26 Damage: 19 piercing)
She again tries to hide herself. (Bonus Action - Stealth: 13)
Eldeth also tries to shift her attacks over to the monitor, firing twice at the creature. (Longbow Attack: 10 Damage: 10 piercing) (Longbow Attack: 5 Damage: 5 piercing)
Katryl's bolt hits the monitor square on, making them shriek in a flash of pain! Eldeth's shots go wide this time though as the fish person flails about! Katryl attempts to hide but can feel the Monitor's eyes searching her area!

The heavy swing smashes into the Monitor, cutting a deep wound but they stay on their feet!
3/8 Kuo-Toa left! Monitor still up!
KT F (poisoned) lunges at Ebzer to bite him! (20 to hit, 5 points piercing on a hit)
KT G: Also attempts to bite Khessa! (12 to hit, 3pts piercing on a hit)
KT H: bears down on Sarith and attempts to bite him! (11 to hit, 3 points piercing on a hit)
Monitor attacks Ebzer now! A bite misses! Two swings with their hands! (15 and 16 to hit, 8 and 5 bludgeoning damage, plus 2 lightning damage on each hit, 17 total damage)
Free at last from the annoying net, the noble drow snarls and places his hex on the closest kuo-toa (F) before unleashing a purple beam of crackling eldritch force against it. Eldritch Blast: 12 Force: 4 Necrotic: 5
After easily dodging a Kuo-Toa attack, Sarith stabs it with his blade (H). Short sword: 10 Piercing: 4 + Drow poison
...KT G: Also attempts to bite Khessa! (12 to hit, 3pts piercing on a hit)...
(Round 5)
The Kuo-toa wounded by Buppido's bolt persists in choosing Khessa as a target and tries to bite her, but this time the arcane warrior pronounces a rapid formula while moving the fingers of her left hand in an elegant pattern and the muzzle of the aggressor impacts against an invisible barrier.
'Curse!' the tall adventuress thinks 'Now that this busybody is upon me, I must stop focusing on the boss... I have to get rid of him first!'
Khessa wields a spear in one hand, a scimitar in the other with fierce determination, and unleashes a combination of thrusts and slashing.
Whether the kuo-toa she is fighting falls at her feet or not, Khessa exhorts her companions: "Focus on the boss, whoever is able to! Only one or two more hits should be enough to take him down! Then the other fishmen will either flee... or die here".
"Did you see what a hit, Khessa?" brags the talkative derro, seeing his bolt hit "What's the problem? You only have to tell me who to hit... and I'll shot him down!"
(OOC: tough fight indeed, but at least the monitor should have just joined you also in Morpheus' embrace - this Morpheus must have really long arms, by the way, to embrace that many people... 😉 - with the last shot he has taken by Buppido, the monitor accumulated almost 70 damage - 68, if I counted well... - If he is still up and kicking, I start to seriously worry)

"I'll try..." Buppido mutters, aiming the kuo-toa monitor with his crossbow "...but he's not the one you distracted! So don't blame me if I miss, eh?"
Buppido's crossbow attack (vs kuot-toa monitor): 5 Damage: 10
"Did you see what a hit, Khessa?" brags the talkative derro, seeing his bolt hit "What's the problem? You only have to tell me who to hit... and I'll shot him down!"

Sigh, two new attack rolls in case the Kuo-Toas were faerie fired.
Traydark: 18
Sarith: 12
