Stena puts a second arrow in the KT, and drops it.
With that one down, Galingal directs his strike at the other one, and hits it once, but then misses with his second thrust, the point getting caught by the sticky shield.
((DC 11 STR Save from Galingal to not get his weapon stuck.))
Galingal feels the resistance from the viscous ooze covering the KT's shield and he applies more pressure to hopefully help his rapier slide off the shield.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the rapier slips free, Galingal uses the momentum to stab out at the KT again.
Action: Attack: 21 Damage: 8
He almost focuses the Queen's energy to give him an extra burst of speed to attack again before the KT can react, but not knowing what is still to come he holds off for now.
(Did the KT disengage? Just checking out whether there’s a juicy opportunity attack out there. If not, yes, Galingal will run after to make use of the attack).
Jimjar is looking rough, having been hit again with two spears, but he's highly motivated, and manages to strike twice despite being hampered by the net. Gloog contributes with a bite, and the two remaining KTs are looking poorly.
((Galingal you can make whatever check you wish, or if you had anything you could use a bonus action on the previous turn. This turn you're 20 ft from the entrance to the alley, and if you were to run back, would not be able to get within melee with the two attacking Jimjar.))
Galingal attempts to catch the KT before he falls, putting his arm around their shoulders, walking them back into the alley before the bystanders in the street notice anything unusual.
Stealth: 14
If successful, this turn he walks the KT into the alley (assume that would take an action).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
One of they bystanders seems to be staring right at Galingal as it walks along, but makes no cry or objection as he pulls the dead KT back into the alley.
Gloog gives a grunt of pain as Stena buries an arrow in his back.
The two remaining KTs drop, as Jimjar pulls himself free from the net, panting and looking around. Shuushar helps tend to Jimjar, and will help remove the arrow from Gloog, returning it to Stena.
Lia moves towards a group of some of ‘the Sea Mother Faithful’, and if needed tries to find a party member who could translate (maybe Stool?).
She tries to gather a few, maybe more… perhaps some others start to hear and become interested… maybe Ploopp is around or comes back…
Through translation, or a spoor link, Lia talks to the growing crowd. She looks like this otherworldly being. Like a human, but different. Clean, and with shimmering skin, not unlike a fish. At one point she climbs up on a chair or table, and talks to them… maybe is a few words of reassurance. Maybe it’s the story of the party and how they are here to help, and what’s to come. Some but not all of the plan…
Maybe the words are chosen or bent to rhyme. Maybe there’s a chord or two played on the Lyre… depending on how it goes, Lia plays to the crowd, tries to build the hope and moral of these beings. Maybe the crowd grows… This is all indoors in the temple, not on the street, but maybe word starts to spread… (to the faithful).
As her words build a swell of support, and a kind of religious buoyancy, as her surroundings build to what she’s used to: playing to a crowd… maybe the room and the feeling is with her enough to use the temple, the followers, the swell of feeling in the same direction, the sounds of the crowd… for her to reach out to her celestial guide, even from this far underground…!
More to herself, but aloud and woven into the overall effect, Lia asks… “Are you there? Aid us!… guide me! Are our advanced party okay? I have found discord… and am here in the face of danger… to restore the balance!…”
”Tell me what notes to play!!… Tell me where to be!! What to do!… to restore balance here!… I am rested… I am strong!… We are a force, one voice, your song… help me!…”.
She listens… while the crowd maybe continue the chant… Her arms and face raised to the stars wherever they may be… her eyes closed… she listens…
Stena, not particularly concerned for Gloog's being in the way, shoots the same she shot before.
Attack: 16 Damage: 5
Galingal looks forward and back and sees both sets of KT attacking.
"Punch through," Galingal calls. "Not get squeezed."
He races forward, rapier sweeping out and stabbing forward as he reaches the KT with the net.
Action: Attack: 16 Damage: 10
Before the other one can react, Galingal keeps his shield high, pivots and darts the rapier forward for a second strike at the second KT.
Bonus Action - War Priest - Attack: 10 Damage: 8
Stena puts a second arrow in the KT, and drops it.

He rips the net off himself, and the KT facing off against them is looking uneasy. ((Turn dependent on if Galingal is stuck to its shield.))
The other two attack Jimjar, as they at least feel like things are going well.
Spear Attack: 18 Damage: 5

As the rapier slips free, Galingal uses the momentum to stab out at the KT again.
Action: Attack: 21 Damage: 8
He almost focuses the Queen's energy to give him an extra burst of speed to attack again before the KT can react, but not knowing what is still to come he holds off for now.
Stena pivots and fires on the injured KT attacking Jimjar.
Attack: 14 Damage: 6
With Galingal not stuck to the KT, the fishy guy will back away and head for the busier street.

"Don't let them get away if ye can manage it."
((Woo! Congrats everyone on reaching page100!!
And sorry for not being about. I should be online a little more now and hoping to get back into games more!))

(Did the KT disengage? Just checking out whether there’s a juicy opportunity attack out there. If not, yes, Galingal will run after to make use of the attack).
Galingal follows the disengaging KT out of the alley and runs him through. There are 1 KTs nearby.
((I'll say with that crit, you can make some sort of check alongside it to try to avoid them taking too much notice as you kill this guy.))
Stena sends an arrow at the KT on Jimjar, but it goes wide.
Gloog hurries down the alley and goes after the one on Jimjar, first with his staff, then trying to chomp.
Staff Attack: 10 Damage: 5
Bite Attack: 10 Damage: 5
The kuo-toa stab at the restrained Jimjar.

Stealth: 14
If successful, this turn he walks the KT into the alley (assume that would take an action).
Stena targets the KT that Gloog is giving cover to and fires another arrow before closing into melee with the one she didn't target.
Attack: 13 Damage: 11
((Not sure how much space there is there with the two KT, Gloog and Jimjar but hopefully enough?))
One of they bystanders seems to be staring right at Galingal as it walks along, but makes no cry or objection as he pulls the dead KT back into the alley.
Gloog gives a grunt of pain as Stena buries an arrow in his back.
He attempts to finish the pair off.
Staff Attack: 9 Damage: 8
Bite Attack: 6 Damage: 4
The two remaining KTs drop, as Jimjar pulls himself free from the net, panting and looking around. Shuushar helps tend to Jimjar, and will help remove the arrow from Gloog, returning it to Stena.
