Karys dodges one net easily, only to jump right into the path of a second one. The net closes over her, sticky fibers clinging tightly to her skin and clothing. Karys is now restrained until she's able to break free (DC 11 Strength save at the end of her turn).
Edwin slices both nets out of the air with his sword, the pieces falling harmlessly around him.
Everyone may act!

Edwin:
Still raging (bonus action to maintain), Edwin sweeps Nacht back behind him with a gentle push from the back of his left heel, allowing healing power to flow through his touch. He then moves forward to engage the biggest foe and hopefully give his allies some time to regroup.

Karys tries to free herself from the net. After a few minutes of struggling, she finally manages to free herself from the thing, cutting it apart with her sword.
It's coming back to the top of the round.....when suddenly, spears rain down amongst the enemy kuo-toa! More fish-people appear out of the reeds, led by two more large kuo-toa and a kuo-toa wearing a robe and carrying a staff between them. The one with the staff points, and a burst of white flame descends on the large kuo-toa in front of Edwin. The large fish falls dead, and the other kuo-toa flee, prompting opportunity attacks from Edwin and Karys if they choose to take them.

Still enraged, Edwin instinctively strikes out as the foe allows the opportunity. Somewhere in his dormant rational mind he notes the new arrivals, despite being of the same race of their attackers, appear to not be allies to his foes…

Edwin’s target falls dead as it tries to flee, and Karys’s bleeds profusely as it runs off.
The new arrivals watch them go, then turn towards the group. The leader speaks in a strange, bubbly language, its deep raspy voice echoing across the water. As it talks, it darts its head around, like a fish swimming underwater. The rest of the new arrivals dart around in much the same manner, seemingly unable to hold still. Shuushar replies to it, carrying on a conversation for a minute or two.

Concentrating and releasing his rage, Edwin wipes his sword clean on the fallen foe before him, then sheathes it. When it looks like further hostilities are unlikely, Edwin stows his shield as well and stands with hands on hips, waiting for Shuushar to negotiate on their behalf.

After a minute, Shuushar nods and looks back at the group. My friends...this is an Archpriest of my people. He would like to cast the Tongues spell on us, but I wanted to give you warning before he did so. I told him we have been through much. He nods at the Kuo-toa, who then waves his staff, causing everyone in the party to glow slightly. You are now under the effect of the Tongues spell.
Now you can understand him when he says: I am Ploopploopeen, archpriest of the Sea Mother Blibdoolvpoolp. She answers my prayers by delivering you. Help us, and you will be rewarded for your service.

Nodding and bowing to the archpriest, Edwin says, "Thank you for your help, though we know not why your fellow Kuo-toa attacked us. We are recently escaped from Drow captors and are in need of help ourselves, though perhaps we could also be of help to you in honor of Shuushar's aid in helping us escape."

Ploopploopeen darts around while speaking. They are allied with my daughter, unfortunately. For years, we in Sloobludop have lived in harmonious service to the will of the great Sea Mother. There were occasional, ah, "visionaries" he casts a walleyed glance over at Shuushar as he says this, but nothing of any great concern. My dear daughter, Bloppblippodd, however, experienced a powerful vision of Leemooggoogoon the Deep Father several weeks back, and has proclaimed him the new god of our people. She has backed up her claims with a significant increase in her power, and has begun to gather new followers. We are split in two...fighting amongst ourselves. These followers have been making many blood sacrifices on the Deep Father's altar, then casting the chum into the water. There it is consumed by...something.
Allow me to be blunt...I wish to use you as bait. We will leave you armed, though take you as "prisoners" to the Deep Father's followers. We will offer you as a token of peace, but we will be ready to spring the trap. You will be well rewarded for your aid.

Karys listens to the kuo-toa priest's plan, but she nods when she hears Nacht's strange voice in her mind.
"I don't mind helping, but we are barely escaped ourselves. If we help you, can you provide us with food and supplies to survive here in the Underdark? We may also need to rest before we go along with this plan."
Nacht is nearly passed out from hunger and exhaustion.
