Eldeth let herself get distracted by Lia, and misses, the kuo-toa easily blocking her swing with its shield.
STR: 12
She tears the hammer free of the sticky shield, though.
Jimjar, however, carves into his foe, bringing them down with a could of well placed jabs of his shortsword. "Awww, should have put a bounty on them! I'd be ahead of you, Prince!"

Galingal moves through any shadows he can find in the woods, moving towards the shore, but staying to the fringes and looking for somewhere to take cover.
Move: up to 30' to find somewhere decent to stay hidden.
Stealth: 7
Using up the last of his energy to heal the others after the stirges has left him nothing to use in this fight. Without a symbol of the queen he's further hamstrung.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
It's probably good for Galingal that he's out of sight from the fight, because he would certainly be making his presence known if he were closer as he stumbles into zhurkwood trunks and knocks loose some loose rocks.
As he gets closer to the shore, he can see two long boats that have been partially drug up on shore. They must have been from the kuo-toa who waited in ambush in the grove, while the others drove them into the grove from behind.
Back on the other side of the grove of zhurkwood, the kuo-toa continue trying to beat down the remaining party members still standing.
On Lia, Attack: 6 Damage: 2 On Lia, Attack: 17 Damage: 3 On Lia, Attack: 4 Damage: 5

On Eldeth, Attack: 11 Damage: 7 On Jimjar, Attack: 21 Damage: 6
The one facing Derendil, having just lost its shield, is getting a bit desparate, and hurls its net at him, trying to tie him down.
Galingal cringes, watching the party go down, one after another. But if Shuushar was right and this group wants to collect sacrifices he’s gambling that they won’t kill anyone.
He looks through the trees back to where the fighting was and notices he can’t see Stena in the number on the ground.
The two of them together would stand a decent chance of rescuing the others.
Assuming the sacrifices weren’t made immediately.
Keeping an eye out for Stena, Galingal slips back into the zhurkwood, to find somewhere to keep out of sight.
((I thiiink Lia’s light spell might persist on her Lyre for an hour even after she’s unconscious?? Stena and Galingal would be able to see this to some extent maybe))
The two of you are struggling enough to be stealthy that as Galingal returns to the grove, you both spot one another.
The kuo-toa scramble to grab the nets that had missed the party, and hold them ready as Derendil gathers himself and charges them with a bellowing roar.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Two of the nets snare the quaggoth, who crashes to the ground in a snarling pile, he tries to tear free of one, even if he doesn't he second one has him trapped as the boss kuo-toa stalks towards him and attempts to make quick work of him.
Derendil STR: 10
KT Boss Bite Attack: 22 KT Boss Kick Attack: 24 KT Boss Stomp Attack: 13
((Rolls got wonky, and didn't display damage, but all three hit the trussed up Prince, and even at minimum damage, he goes down.))
Galingal and Stena watch from the zhurkwood groves as the last of their party goes down and the kuo-toa begin dragging their unconscious (hopefully) forms back towards the pair of boats that came up on the party from behind. The boss stands alert, facing towards where it surmises you to be as its underlings drag your friends.
((Are either of you taking any actions against the kuo-toa at this time, or allowing the others to be loaded?))

Galingal watches the others get dragged to the boats, and then tries to make eye contact with Stena.
He nods as he decides waiting for a better opportunity to strike and free the group is the right choice. They may not understand but that is not his concern.

Stena moves back again, putting some more distance between herself and the melee fight while staying in cover and fires at the same target - Boss KT.
((25 ft move away from the fight.))
Attack: 10 Damage: 11
Hunters mark: 6
((Presuming no longer hidden so no advantage.))
Lia calls encouragement to Eldeth while swaying warily.
Stena wings another arrow at the kuo-toa leader, but it passes over their shoulder and she only earns a fishy glare in return.
Eldeth swings at the kuo-toa on her, as does Jimjar.

Lia and Eldeth both go down under spearbutts, Jimjar evading a thumping for now. Derendil gets caught up in the net and tries to break free.
STR: 13
The unarmed kuo-toa turns slowly, and stalks to a suddenly very alone Jimjar.

Derendil swipes at him but misses, breaking free a moment later as the kuo-toa leader puts Jimjar down with a bite and some lightning charged attacks.
