Karys plunges into the icy cold water and fights the urge to gasp so that she doesn't end up with lungs full of water. She fights her way to the surface and starts kicking for shore, struggling a bit as her hands are still bound in chains.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Edwin:
Even with the chains, Edwin is strong. He fights to surface in the dark water and help stool stay afloat—then he sees Nacht starting to go under. Instinct takes over and he rages against the very water itself!
(Rage to cancel athletics disadvantage, trying to save Nacht before swimming to shore).
Athletics: 18

Dagna and Karys, despite the chains, are able to reorient themselves and start the swim to shore. Nacht, however, hits the water like a rock. Panicking a bit, it's unable to gain any sort of ground (or water). Edwin, now juggling Stool and Nacht, almost gets dragged under by Nacht's flailing.
(Another Athletics check from Edwin)

As Dagna reaches the shore, she looks back and is horrified to see Edwin struggling to stay afloat with Nacht and Stool. Desperately, she drops her unfamiliar backpack and begins to rifle through it for anything she can use to help.
Dagna is able to find a good length of rope sitting right in the top of the bag. The other prisoners are able to get their bearings and are heading for shore as well.
However...rising up from the pool, what looked like an oily patch is now rising up into a gray blob. It begins moving toward the group as well.
Roll initiative!

Elspeth and Derendil swim hard for shore, reaching it and starting to pull themselves up. The drow turns, already on the shore himself, and fires off a crossbow bolt at the creature:

The bolt sinks into the ooze, but it rolls inexorably on towards Edwin, Stool and Nacht. It is only 10 feet away now.
The kuo-toa, being a fish-man, has no problems zooming through the water and pulling up on the bank. He surveys the scene, and sits in his meditation pose impassively.
Everyone may act!

Dagna casts mage hand and has the spectral hand carry one end of the rope as close to Edwin, Nacht, and Stool as possible while she holds onto the other end.
Nacht desperately tries to grab the rope and pull itself to shore.
*what kind of check would this be?*

(If you're going to swim for dry land, give me another athletics check. All of you are still bound by chains, so this one's at disadvantage.)
