((If Stena is wanting to cut them off from the tunnel they came in, she can get a good ways along on the ledge you're on now and drop down, but it'll take a few turns worth to get there, the drow are currently ~60ft from the tunnel, and Stena'd have to move ~150ft+ to get behind them.))

Kolose doesn't even get time to study some of the architecture around them, fascinated even as his memory starts running about some books he's no doubt read about some of these things, before they become distracted by very sudden happenings. It doesn't take him long to figure out that the latest entries near the back are bad news. He walks closer, hand reaching for his component pouch while his mind races over what spell to use.
(Mostly just waiting to see if I could attack and/or if there should be initiative first?)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
((Yeah, I'll just roll initiative for everyone, not sure if we'll need it, might depend on if/how any talking goes, but then we'll have it if we need it.))
Stena slips off along the ledge, working her way towards getting behind the pair of drow so she can cut off their escape back the way they came.
Down below, the lone elf seems uncertain of the arrival of Gal shooting at his pursuers, but shouts back at the pair of them in elvish.
“Screw you! You have no idea what is happening, our whole world order, our society is being taken over by evil demonic influence, and you just want to do their bidding! Leave me alone you bastards! Don’t make me kill you, because I will!”
They shout up to Galingal above, “Help me, I’m trying to escape from them, please I will explain! They are trying to kill me, we can help each other!”
Gal waits a beat so he doesn't climb down on top of the invisible Stena. He then starts climbing down. For now he starts moving more to get closer to the pair of hunter drow while looking like he's angling towards the hunted drow (trying to get to 30' from them, but at least 60' before Stena starts shooting).
He calls to the drow hunters in elvish "What did he do?"
Galingal scrambles down, calling out to the two drow hunters, who respond, but are shouted over by the lone drow in a bit of a back and forth in elvish.
"Escaped terrorist--"
"--wrongfully imprisoned for pissing off the wrong--"
"--murderer and worse--"
"-- rot in our society--"
"--reward for his capture, if you help--"
"--Zhentarim. The dark designs--"
"--gone mad, seeing things that aren't--"
"--shut me up for good, snuff me out!”

((That and Gal descending on the other side gave her time to get around, but she'll still get spotted making her descent. Fine to say she's there, but they just noticed her, so no unseen attacker advantage, but they aren't in cover from her position.))
They split attention a bit between Stena and the lone drow, one of them calling back to her in Undercommon.
"Behind that rock with the purple mushroom next to it! You've got better range, see if you can pick him off!"

Stena looses an arrow that clatters off the drow's chain mail, eliciting cries of anger as they keep their backs to the crystals and train crossbows down on the dwarf.
Attack: 24 Damage: 12, DC 13 CON on hit Attack: 7 Damage: 5, DC 13 CON on hit
An arrow arcs from the lone drow's position to shatter against crystal, sending splinters raining down on the drow hunters.
Up on the ledge, the goblin guides stay hunkered down. "Whooa bruh, what's with all the violence?" "Totally violence."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Galingal sees Stena's attack come and decides it's time to get more involved.
He quickly moves forward, covering half the distance to the two hunter drow, just as he gets there, he blinks his eyes, visualizing a raven as he does. When he does he blinks out of view. When he opens his eyes, he's covered the rest of the distance and blinks back into view.
Standing right next to the drow, he stabs out at one with his rapier.
Movement - 30' closer
Bonus Action - Blessing of the Raven Queen - teleport 30' - resistance to all damage until the start of his next turn
Kolose will, once the opportunity arise, likely try and use earthen grasp against whatever opponent looks like it would be most bothered being ensnared. Maybe someone out in the open?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Galingal rapidly moves forward before blinking out and reappearing to slip his rapier between a gap in the armor of one of the drow, the point of the blade passing up through their torso and coming out near the armpit.
Lia is too far to reach anyone with her magic, so works on scrambling down the ledge to where she'd be able to support her companions. (Athletics: 2)
Fargas fires off a crossbow bolt at the remaining drow that had fired on Stena, but at quite a distance.
((She doesn't want to get close, just give them no option to run back out and away.))
"When aye start shooting, ye start shooting. Aye heading down now."
Stealth: 12
Athletics: 10

Galingal's blade slips free as the dead drow slumps off his rapier.
Lia slips and tumbles into a pile at the base of the ledge, but manages to scramble back up to her feet.
Fargas' bolt flies wide of the mark.
