This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Even though Graxx feels the Kuo-Toa's blood magic sinking into his head, his ferocious slash hits one of the fishmen, carving its chest (cumulative damage on Kuo-Toa#2: 9).
Taking a hint from his companions, Cato jumps to action letting his teeth grow into sharp acidic fangs and biting at the Kuo-Toa that has an arrow stuck to its gut (cumulative damage to Kuo-Toa#3: 16). This foe is bleeding profusely from the quick successive attacks.
KUO-TOA'S TURN:
Kuo-Toa#1 (G32) will throw its net at Graxx. Kuo-Toa#2 (H32) and #3 (I32) will do the same, but aiming at Utar and Cato, respectively.
Kuo-Toa#1's net throw (ranged attack with disadvantage) vs. Graxx: 9;
Kuo-Toa#2's net throw (ranged attack with disadvantage) vs. Utar: 19; - Utar is restrained.
Kuo-Toa#3's net throw (ranged attack with disadvantage) vs. Cato: 9;
INITIATIVE ROUND 1 (CONTINUED):
Rose moves forward (J31) while shaking off whatever curse the fish leader aimed at her. She lunges at the nearest Kuo-Toa, but resisting the curse seems to have taken most of her focus, as she misses the target.
(Drazzim and Utar, you are up. Darrius may post too).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Right, time to fillet a fish!"Drazzim says, getting fired up (Bonus Action: Second Wind), he rushes forward between the two pillars (H30 I think?) and swings his glaive at the Kuo-Toa in the centre (Kuo-Toa #2).
Glaive vs. Kuo-Toa #2:23 vs. AC. Hit:10 slashing damage.
Drazzim rushes forward, his glaive slashing its target diagonally across the chest and gut (cumulative damage on Kuo-Toa#2: 15). Kuo-Toa#2 has no right to still be holding on to its life, but alas...
Utar struggles against the net covering him, not yet quite able to throw it aside.
23. Darrius (I29) - has 1/2 cover from incoming attacks, depending on the angle. 17. Kloogut (H35) - keeping concentration on bane. 15. Cato (J32) 14. Graxx (H31) - affected by bane (attack rolls and saving throws). 9. Kuo-Toa#1 (G32); Kuo-Toa#2 (H32); Kuo-Toa#3 (I32) 5. Drazzim (H30); Utar (J30) - Utar is restrained. 4. Rose (J31)
Darrius feels a strange headache hit his left temple. He has felt worse though, and is able to push it aside as he lets loose another arrow at the bleeding Kuo-Toa. This time, the gut shot is lethal (cumulative damage to Kuo-Toa#3: 23-> DEAD). The prisoners behind the now dead fishman scream in fear of being so close to deadly combat!
You then all hear the drow in black clothes yell from behind you, in his cage: "YES! Kill them all! Let us be done with this suffering".
Seeing Utar struggle with its brethren's net, the Kuo-Toa leader seizes its opportunity, turning to its deity's image in the northern end of the room and talking to her in Undercommon while pointing at the half-orc cleric. (Kloogut is casting sacred flame on Utar, who needs to make a {DC 12} DEX saving throw with disadvantage due to being restrained. On a fail, Utar takes 4 radiant damage). The damp net does not seem to be affected by the spell.
Maintaining his dripping fangs, Cato leaps forward (I32) and chomps down at the next target. The foe tries to defend itself by raising an arm, through which Cato bites down and detaches from the Kuo-Toa's torso at the shoulder with a loud crunch (cumulative damage to Kuo-Toa#2: 17). The whole motion destabilizes the Kuo-Toa, who stumbles toward Cato slightly. It doesn't notice it, but this few little steps are enough for it to avoid being cleaved by Graxx's greataxe. The remaining arm still holding fast to a spear, it seems this enemy is running on fumes...

KUO-TOA'S TURN:
Absolutely terrified of this acid-fang-bearing man with a bow-tie, Kuo-Toa#2 will instinctively thrust its spear forward. Its brother-in-arms will follow suit, but taking advantage that it still has both arms, it will put all it has behind its attack against Graxx, the closest threat.
Knowing its time had come, the last thing Kuo-Toa#2 sees is Drazzim's blade reaching its forehead from 10 feet away (cumulative damage to Kuo-Toa#2: 25 -> DEAD).
As Utar finally frees himself, Rose continues her lunge from just a moment ago (G31), this time aiming at the only remaining Kuo-Toa grunt. It motions to block with its usual shield, forgetting it came to battle without it this time. The gnome's rapier sinks into its rib cage (cumulative damage to Kuo-Toa#1: 7).
Rose's Charisma saving throw: 4
Cato will run to J32 and primally savage the Kuo-Toa at I32.

Graxx will shout, "I COME FOR YOU FISH PRIEST!" and once again come down with his greataxe on Kuo-Toa #2(H32).
Attack: 7 Slashing Damage: 14

(Drazzim, Utar, and Rose are up. Darrius may post as well for the next initiative round).
"Hey! Get yer own kill!" Drazzim yells at Graxx, he swings his polearm down in an attempt to cleave straight into the kuo-toa's skull.
Glaive vs. Kuo-Toa #2: 12 vs. AC. Hit: 8 slashing damage.
Edit: I'll use my inspiration for an attack reroll. 20
(OOC @pokepaladdy: save your inspiration. A 12 hits since it is not carrying a shield).
Utar curses more violently, "Pox-ridden..." although through his struggles, "...foul-smelling..." only occasional words are heard, "...Torm's sake!"
Strength check to break free of the net - 12
Utar untangles himself from the net, a wild look in his eyes.
(Fair enough, will keep the inspiration on my character then :-) )
Rose will attempt to stab a fishman with her rapier. (Attack: 18 Damage: 7)
Knowing its time had come, the last thing Kuo-Toa#2 sees is Drazzim's blade reaching its forehead from 10 feet away (cumulative damage to Kuo-Toa#2: 25 -> DEAD).
