The big drow charges in, not noticing the 2 pressed up against the wall, and aims a kick right at Manju's ribs for 2 damage. Get up, you filthy fleabag! He shouts. The other three fan out behind him, smirking and watching the show.
Zhor, you can see they each wield a shortsword and hand crossbow. The leader is wearing studded leather armor, and the other 3 chain shirts.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Your attack strikes true, but the drow only whirls around, his face a mask of rage. How. DARE. YOU.
He will draw his sword on you:
Attack: 23 Damage: 5 + 8
He uses the flat of his blade on the side of your head, and it leaves you seeing stars. It also cuts you just enough to get the drow poison that coats his blade into your blood stream, and you fall to the ground unconscious. Take this scum to Ilvara. He will learn what respect means. He looks around the cell. Anyone else need a lesson?

Thinking the scuffle might be a good enough distraction, Don readies an action to steal something useful from one of the drow, if a decent opportunity presents itself. Prioritizing a cell key, a dagger, or anything that could be used as lock-picks.

OOC: Not sure if you're doing average turn order, scramble turn order or average initiative so I'll throw this here for now. This will be what Manju does on his turn.
Manju - Seeing Zhor club the drow Manju will drop the metal rod (club) he's holding and crack a toothy smirk to the Drow who just kicked him. Raising his knee he will stomp his heel down on the Drow's foot yelling "Manju Stomp" quickly following it up with a headbutt to his face.
Gadvelt winces, but shows more discretion than his rash and furry friends. Through gritted teeth he hisses Cut it out, more a prayer than an actual warning

The second drow picks up one of Zhor's arms and starts dragging him out. As he's doing this, Don slips his hand in a pocket and comes out with a key.
At the last second, he moves his foot and the stomp goes wide. Your headbutt, however, heads straight for his face. Again, at the last second, however, he brings his sword up and uses the pommel to parry the attack and sidesteps you.
Egret, you're up.

Egret will move over by Gad, and lean in, "So it seems you're the voice of reason today, I hope you can talk our new friends down a little." And he'll try and quietly cast Guidance on him. (Not sure how to link spells in chat here, sorry)
Replying quietly Thank you Egret, but I've no skills to calm folks down looking down in shame I'm just good at being a slave
The shame makes him angry - not wasting the Guidance or the commotion his supposed-to-be-wiser friends are causing, Gadvelt enters a Rage of grim determination, and attempts to break a single link of his chain, quiet-ish, as close to his right hand as he can get a grip
Athletics (advantage from rage and guidance bonus) 29
edit: on that roll saving the guidance bonus, so it should be 25
If that counts as a Help , here is the second stealth roll 24 (including Guidance - 4 less if that shouldn't count, or maybe this whole roll doesn't count)
The noise the break made makes Gadvelt extra cautious, for which he's even more ashamed. He cannot maintain the rage. He whispers to Egret Thank you Brother, we need to help each other. Those two (nodding to Zhor and Manju) will likely suffer - they'll need help when they get back.

Don mouths a silent prayer of thanks to Mask and slips the key into a pocket inside his jacket. Seeing how adroitly the guard avoided Manju's attacks Don doesn't think he has a chance in a fight, shackled and unarmed as he is. Better to survive and help tend to the wounded than become one of them himself.
Manju - Seeing the drow having trouble dealing with his feline nimbleness Manju will fire two solid punches into the gut of the drow in front of him while ducking and weaving "Manju cross jab!"
Your first jab hits him right in the soft part of the gut, driving the breath out of him, but he's able to sidestep your second punch. His eyes glitter with rage, and he says through gritted teeth: Oh, you will pay for that, cat.
Egret, you're up

Egret will remain off to one side of the door, not instigating anything, but prepared to help if a fight breaks out.
Initiative: 18

Zhor will stealthily approach the leader. With hands clasped together he will drive an overhead attack into the back of his neck.
Attack: 20 Damage: 14 (Bugbear sneak attack)
Zhor will roar. "ROAR!"
If this attack somehow incapacitates the drow, Zhor will try to use his Powerful Build to use the drow's body as a shield/cover from the others.

Adding Guidance if allowed, +4 = 12

With Egret helping, you are able to hide the break. The drow don't notice.
However, one of the other drow uses his crossbow on Manju:
Attack: 16 Damage: 7
The crossbow bolt barely misses Manju's neck, and slams into the wall, shattering.
The last drow will draw his sword on Manju: Attack: 18 Damage: 4
His sword bites into your hip, and your side explodes in pain.
(Action from Tempest, then back to the top of the round with Zhor)
Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
Tempest is doing nothing at this point. She will try to just sit still, head down, and not draw any attention to herself.
Don mouths a silent prayer of thanks to Mask and slips the key into a pocket inside his jacket. Seeing how adroitly the guard avoided Manju's attacks Don doesn't think he has a chance in a fight, shackled and unarmed as he is. Better to survive and help tend to the wounded than become one of them himself.
The big drow turns on Manju and goes after him with his sword:
Attack: 8 Damage: 10
Manju rolls out of the way just in time, but the drow carrying Zhor drops him on the ground and shoots at Manju with his crossbow:
Attack: 15 Damage: 6
Again, the bolt misses and shatters on the wall.
Manju, your move.

Manju - Seeing the drow having trouble dealing with his feline nimbleness Manju will fire two solid punches into the gut of the drow in front of him while ducking and weaving "Manju cross jab!"
Attack: 25 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Jab 1
Attack: 21 Damage: 8 Jab 2
Your first jab hits him right in the soft part of the gut, driving the breath out of him, but he's able to sidestep your second punch. His eyes glitter with rage, and he says through gritted teeth: Oh, you will pay for that, cat.
