The quaggoth have specific orders to follow and the one that repelled Derendil's shove attempts got hit square in the chest by an Eldritch Blast. With little room in their feeble minds to prioritize threats, it makes on claw attack at Derendil then tries to make its way to Xilyrah and tries to grapple Narstin to move him out of the way.
Claw Attack: 15 Damage: 6
Quaggoth grapple, Athletics check vs Athletics or Acrobatics: 24
Narstin roll Athletics or Acrobatics to counter the grapple.
Edit: Problem with my roll20. Tokens not showing up on my work browser... New grapple target is Narstin instead of Xilyrah.
The other three quaggoth finish climbing the 100 feet and are either at the lip of the northern landing, except for one who is now standing in Sarith's darkness.
Buppido passes a longbow and quiver down to Eldeth who shouts back up, "I be a dwarf!"
The drow (Imbos) moves up past the slick stairs and begins to command the quaggoth to his front, in undercommon "Grab those casters and throw them in the prison cell!"
He loads his hand crossbow and levels a shot at Topsy.
Hand crossbow Attack: 10 Damage: 5 and misses.
Ferriman will lower another longbow and quiver for Valthana.
(Ront can act before Jimjar, if I post first, correct?)
Ront picks up the other javelin (post 365), unless I missed someone else grabbing it.
To Jimjar: "Too slow, turtle!" Ront charges across the bridge before Jimjar can get there, using his movement and his orc Aggressive-ness to move 60' (6 squares of rough terrain) to get from the tower to the platform M10.
From there he will throw the javelin at the quaggoth at N/O 8 that is grappling Narstin. Attack: 4 Damage: 4 (Edit: This round was epic for Ront, until his javelin throw sailed 10 feet over the head of the target.)

M10 is currently occupied by Tozer. And Ront has to take a 5 foot step (F10) to grab the javelin. H9 is occupied by Shuushar, so that's a difficult terrain square as well.
Best you can do is get to the end of the bridge, L9, with a javelin. Or you can use Movement, Dash and Relentless Charge to get 90ft of movement without a javelin.
(In post 383, you stated that Tozer went to M11, which is why I thought M10 was vacant. If M10 is filled and M11 is empty, then Ront goes there.
The priority is to get Ront to either M10 or M11 with his great axe, so he might be able to attack next turn. If he needs to use Dash to get there, and without the javelin, then so be it. Want him off the bridge before Jimjar tries to cross.)

/sigh. So many mistakes. At least you guys are on the ball.
Tozer did in fact say he wanted to move to M11 (in the OOC thread), and I wrote it as so in the combat table. I just moved the token to the wrong spot on the map.

To Jimjar: "Too slow, turtle!" Ront charges across the bridge before Jimjar can get there, using his movement and his orc Aggressive-ness to move 60' (6 squares of rough terrain) to get from the tower to the platform M10.
From there he will throw the javelin at the quaggoth at N/O 8 that is grappling Narstin. Attack: 4 Damage: 4 (Edit: This round was epic for Ront, until his javelin throw sailed 10 feet over the head of the target.)
The above happens, except for the javelin because Shuushar is blocking the entrance. So Ront gets to M10, but no javelin. He still has an action left. Or Ront can use his action to DASH and be at M10 with the javelin available for next turn.
Jimjar pushes past Shuushar and gets part way across the bridge (to K9) with his dash action.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shuushar will move out of the way, next to Stool at G7.
Topsy drops her hand crossbow and draws her short sword to make 2 attacks on the quaggoth holding Narstin.
Short sword Attack: 6 Damage: 8
Short sword Attack: 14 Damage: 8
Via telepathy, she blasts out, "Fools. You are no match for quaggoth. Kill that drow and then flee across the bridge! Turvy and I can stop the quaggoth. But you must be away for us to be able to do so."
Turvy sends a telephatic grunt and attempts to shoot the drow.

Sarith: Maybe as a drow, he could confuse or outwit the brutish quaggoths, but that only works if he is the only drow yelling orders at them.
Sarith is also frustrated that Imbros is staying at that distance. (Sarith will not step closer on the bridge while Jimjar is rocking it.) Sarith steps to the tower entrance, takes a long range shot with the hand crossbow, then returns to F9.
Bolt at Imbros - Attack: 11 Damage: 8
Beegred: Steps between Ront and Topsy ("excuse me") to get a shot at Imbros, then returns to N11.

(Arrrgh indeed. I'm trying to keep a fine balance between having the NPC's act realistically and making sure you can all get out of this, but the dice are not cooperating!)
Valthana will step to H9, take a shot with her longbow (disadvantage because she can't see) and step out of the way to H8.
Longbow Attack: 18 Damage: 9
Valthana yells out, "Did I hit him? Damn it, someone light them up so I can see!"
Tozer disengages and moves to M11.
(I'll give the new player until tomorrow to play Xilyrah, else I'll play her to keep things moving. New player is still in the process of joining and catching up.)
Xilyrah narrows her eyes into steely slits, turns her attention to the quaggoth Derendil attempted to shove and casts Eldritch Blast.
Attack: 14 Damage: 5

Buppido grabs Eldeth's long bow and quiver and shouts down to her, "Aye gnome, catch!"

(Narstin can't beat a 24 on either athletics or acrobatics, so he fails the contest, pending my question in the OOC thread)
(The issue is resolved. Narstin is grappled by the quaggoth. His speed is zero.)
Buppido passes a longbow and quiver down to Eldeth who shouts back up, "I be a dwarf!"
The drow (Imbos) moves up past the slick stairs and begins to command the quaggoth to his front, in undercommon "Grab those casters and throw them in the prison cell!"

The quaggoth at O7 will step to N7 and make two claw attacks at Derendil, who is preventing it from following the latest orders.
Claw Attack: 14 Damage: 9
Claw Attack: 6 Damage: 7
Shuushar will move out of the way, next to Stool at G7.

Hand crossbow Attack: 19 Damage: 3
Sarith, Beegred, Valthana, Narstin and Eldeth get to act in round 8.
Note: Derendil is very hurt (13/42 HP) and will not sacrifice his life.
Sarith: Maybe as a drow, he could confuse or outwit the brutish quaggoths, but that only works if he is the only drow yelling orders at them.
