This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(J'eilil, the cultists ahead of you or behind you?)
The winged kobolds swarm towards Reso as the ones below start to sling stones at him as well.

(This is just 10 of them, there's technically 100 kobolds.)
(I honestly thought 10 was going to be enough to knock Reso down, but you basically get of gist of it. Since you guys started a fire to their tent, mostly all of them are up and alert. And that's not counting how many cultists are there as well. Please note the cultists did say Capture not kill. Surrendering is an option unless you guys want to try to cut through this whole army.)
Z'ress will contine to run, knowing that Leosin would not survive for long in his current state. "I said to free the prisoners not cause this to happen..." If the others all surrender she will attempt to continue on ahead.
J'eilil chants her spell, causing roots to grow out of the ground of a few dozen cultists up ahead. A few get ensnared by the roots while some manage to break free of its hold. The group ahead sees that there's other intruders in the camp and they're carrying the half elf prisoner.
As Graxian and J'eilil surrender, a few cultists chasing the group stops by them while the rest continue after the group as they still had Leosin. Graxian and J'eilil are tied up and are forced to sit with the prisoners for now. Although they give a last search for weapons on them, they don't take anything else from them. "Don't try anything." the guard says sternly as he passes the confiscated weapons along. "The speaker will have questions for you intruders."

As Reso descends down, the kobolds start to gather around his supposed landing area. Although they screech at the bird man, they don't raise their weapons toward him. Until he starts to run away from them, the kobolds react violently as they send another volley of stones at Reso. Reso does his best to avoid the rocks but he was already hurting from the one earlier. He crashes as the kobolds catch up to him. He starts to black out as he feels the all the kobolds' claw grip and raise him upwards.
Leosin groans, "Leave me...I'm fine." He protests once more. And he manages to back it up, by tossing himself off of Z'ress and Gurth. But that is all he is able to do, as he lies there collapsed on the ground as the cultists from behind approach him. A cultist ties him up once more and carries him off to the huts on the side. While this leaves Z'ress and Gurth caught between the two cultist groups, they didn't surrender like their allies did so they take an aggressive approach towards them. A volley of both stones and arrows is sent towards the two. And when they first fall, the volley stops. And as they black out, all they see is the cultists surround them.
(Reso, Z'ress, and Gurth are knocked unconscious for 2 hours. Did 20 attacks to Reso, 40 to both Z'ress and Gurth, to make sure they get knocked out.)
Graxian and J'eilil see their fallen but not dead allies taken towards the hut, just as they're told to enter the hut as well. All the prisoners there also come along as it seems the cultists are on alert now. Once inside, they shackle the prisoners and your group to a post in the hut. Leosin is there as well as he breathes slowly while he lies on the floor. The guards leave the tent but just stand before the entryway of the hut.
(I went though and calculated the damage and Reso should be dead since the damage exceeded his max HP. Look, I made a couple of really bad mistakes and I'm fine with paying for them and rolling another character. I've got a few waiting in the wings - no pun intended.)

J'eilil enters the hut with the others. She is already looking around for a way to escape, but does not see one. She turns her attention to her fallen comrades, but does not know how to help them at the moment.

(The way you guys were trying offered very limited escape options. Especially since it was almost afternoon, started a fire that woke most of the kobolds up, and attacked one of the guards. But if you are referring to your capture, there is a safety for that. And Reso, they're not trying to kill. They want to capture. I only did 20 attacks against you since the first 10 I did failed.)
Leosin doesn't open his eyes but does whisper back, "Talk later...wait for nightfall." He says in sync with his breaths. And not a moment later, a blue dragonborn enters the hut with the guards behind him. His eyes scan over the new additions to the hut as it lingers on Reso for a moment. "He was the one I fought before...Mondath needs not question this one, but it seems we'll have to wait for the others. You two," the dragonborn looks to both J'eilil and Graxian, "Mondath shall question the two of you. Follow me." The guards behind him move forward, undoing the chain to the post but leaving the shackles on both of you. The dragonborn waits infront of the entrance.
The dragonborn leads the two of you towards the tent that Gary spoke of before, but stops short of it. The dragonborn takes a knee as well as the guards at the entrance, "I bring the intruders, My lady." the dragonborn announces as a woman steps out of the tent. A bit familiar but definitely higher ranking than any of the cultists you've seen before. She motions for the others to stand as she inspects the both of you. She stops in front of Graxian.
"I have three questions for you, depending on your answers you may executed tomorrow or be set free.
Who are you?
Where did you come from?
What are you doing in my camp?
And I'm only asking about you, not the girl as well."
"My name is J'eilil and I have come in search of my childhood friend, Talis." She tells the woman. "I joined the others in search of Leosin because I hoped that she would be here as well."

Keeping up with Gurth, Graxian keeps running as well.
As the others refuse to surrender, J'eilil thinks quickly for a way to escape. She casts entangle near the cultists in an attempt to keep them busy.

Graxian sees the hail of arrows sent towards Reso. He calls out to the others.
"We must surrender or we will die. We cannot defeat such a force. There is always another dawn."
With that said he stops running and raises his hands in surrender.
(the ones ahead.)
When Graxian surrenders, J'eilil stops running and drops her weapons. Surrender seems to be their only option.

Reso, bloodied and battered holds his hands upu and slowly descends to throw ground.

As he descends, Reso is going to run in the oppisite direction of the group in hopes of taking more cultists with him.

(So we get no chance to escape at all? Sorry but this kind of feels a little to much like be railroaded... I may be done...)

Graxian whispers to Leosin. "Well, we found you friend. But we're in a bit of jam now. We need to figure out a way to escape."
J'eilil enters the hut with the others. She is already looking around for a way to escape, but does not see one. She turns her attention to her fallen comrades, but does not know how to help them at the moment.

Graxian warily gets to his feet and then begins to walk towards the dragonborn.
(Cool, thanks for the clarification on that)

(I'll assume J'eilil will follow as well.)
The dragonborn leads the two of you towards the tent that Gary spoke of before, but stops short of it.

Graxian follows along behind the dragonborn. He holds his head up high as he stands before the woman.
"My name is Graxian and I come from Cormanthor in search of my lost friend, Leosin. That is why I am in your camp, to find Leosin."
"My name is J'eilil and I have come in search of my childhood friend, Talis." She tells the woman. "I joined the others in search of Leosin because I hoped that she would be here as well."
