During the few moments that her companions need to act, Khessa finds the time to think: 'First the nightmare, then the demon attack at the drow outpost, then Mr Big Ball driven mad and speaking of demons... and now, these maddened Kuo-toa. We are stumbling upon a bit too many clues about something being wrong... Katryl might be convinced that this treath will stay here in the underdark, but I'm not in the least... I mean, if we can hope to reach the surface... what will prevent this treath to do the same? No, something tells me we'll have to cope with this problem, sooner or later...'
Ebzer will allow rage to overtake him, and then cast a javelin at a nearby wounded kuo-toa, (24 attack, 4 + 2 piercing damage), and then follow the others in a strategic retreat to ensure they are not surrounded.
One side of the group of Kuo-toa lights up with magical fire, keeping them easily seen as one takes a couple of direct hits and goes down quickly, and a second one takes several small shots, bleeding profusely from the wounds. Their formation shifts as you attempt to retreat back a ways, the fish people unleashing nets and throwing them down your way to slow your escape!
7/8 Kuo toa left, 1 monitor
B attempts to net Katryl! 13 to hit and you are restrained (DC 10 strength escape)
C misses Silas as the net hits the wall!
D catches Silas (23 to hit) and weights him down with the net!
E throws one at Ebzer! 16 to hit and restrain him as well!
F catches Khessa (with a 20 to hit) pinning her down for now!
G throws and nets down Traydark (16 to hit)!
H throws a spear at Eldeth (14 to hit, 6 piercing damage)
The monitor rushes at Ebzer and makes a bite and two melee attacks!
:: Bite (Nat 20, 10pts of piercing damage), Melee (First swing misses! Second swing slaps him for 6 bludgeoning damage and 6 lightning damage, stunning him as well until his next turn!)
Khessa hadn't thought it possible that these fishmen would be able to get close enough to threaten her and the others with their nets… but she was wrong! When the net reaches her, the blonde arcane warrior is caught off guard in the moment and gets entangled.
"It won't be a stupid net to hold me back... I am Khessa..." the tall adventuress strains her muscles to free herself "...and I'm as free as the blowing wind!"
Khessa manages to free herself (OOC: action); she retrieves the net (OOC: Free object interaction), both to prevent the Kuo-toas from using it again, and perhaps to use it later herself, and backs away again, hoping this time to be able to get out of range (OOC: movement: 30' back again).
"I was going to come help you, you know?" he is keen to clarify the talkative derro "But deep down I knew very well that you would have made it, so I preferred to finish... this one!"
And the crossbow bolt shoots through the air... but it misses the target.
"Um... See? I distracted him!" exclaims Buppido "Come on guys! Finish him now!"
With that, he also tries to keep distance, like Khessa, moving back like she did (OOC: movement: 30' back again).
Ebzer curses as the net falls over him, restraining his movements. Luckily, the rage boiling in his blood causes him to barely notice the two attacks that do land (damage resistance).
(Round 2)
The duergar snarls at the Kuo-Toa monitor as he struggles to free himself from the net. (STR check 6)
(Eldeth Iniiative: 19)
Eldeth pulls out her longbow, firing shots at the nearest opponent.
(Longbow Attack: 10 Damage: 9 piercing)
(Longbow Attack: 21 Damage: 4 piercing)
She moves back towards the passage they had come from.

(Are we trying to follow initiative order?)
(You all will go in order, baddies will go in 2 groups at the end no matter what)
During the few moments that her companions need to act, Khessa finds the time to think: 'First the nightmare, then the demon attack at the drow outpost, then Mr Big Ball driven mad and speaking of demons... and now, these maddened Kuo-toa.

Then she focuses back on the current fight.
Ebzer will allow rage to overtake him, and then cast a javelin at a nearby wounded kuo-toa, (24 attack, 4 + 2 piercing damage), and then follow the others in a strategic retreat to ensure they are not surrounded.
Silas's Initiative is 16.
He casts Toll the Dead at the first wounded Kua-toa he sees.

Go next round!
Khessa hadn't thought it possible that these fishmen would be able to get close enough to threaten her and the others with their nets… but she was wrong! When the net reaches her, the blonde arcane warrior is caught off guard in the moment and gets entangled.
But she immediately tries to free herself!

"Well done Khessa!" approves Buppido, as he aims the badly wounded Kuo-toa with his crossbow.
Buppido's crossbow: Attack: 8 Damage: 3

Katryl manages to avoid the net thrown at her, while the spear hits Eldeth.
(OOC - Katryl attempted to hide, but nothing was mentioned on that. Since she was attacked, I'll assume it failed.)
Katryl continues to move back (30 ft) from the attackers, firing again with her short bow.
(Shortbow Attack: 13 Damage: 7)
She then again will try to hide (Bonus Action - Stealth: 11)
Eldeth will keep backing up as well, firing her longbow.
(Longbow Attack: 21 Damage: 5)
(Longbow Attack: 10 Damage: 9)
