Xilyrah weaves her way to the door of the tower, crossbow at her side. Seeing the Quaggoth (O9)that Eldeth hit writhing in pain, she raises her crossbow and fires...
Ranged attack: 24 If successful, piercing damage: 9
...and in a blink returns to her previous position, cursing under her breath (E8).
Xilyrah loads her crossbow, steps up against Sarith, wraps her crossbow around Sarith's shoulder and attempts to hit the quaggoth in the prison cell with a trick shot and misses. She then steps back into her corner.
(Each ally square you have to pass through is difficult terrain. To get to H9, it would cost 25ft of movement, so I did the above. Nothing changed except the distance you travelled to take your shot.)

Seeing that the quaggoth next to him in the cell has almost fallen, Derendil slashes at it twice with his claws, trying to put it out of it's misery before he retreats towards the bridge, having noticed everyone else moving into the guard tower.
Attack: 24 Damage: 5
Attack: 13 Damage: 6
(Move to L10 or M10, basically right in front of the bridge ready to cross it next turn.
In true quaggoth form, Derendil slashes once across the belly of his foe, eviscerating him and follows up with another slash, ripping open the throat. The other quaggoth slumps to the floor of the prison cell, life quickly draining out of it.
Derendil moves up to the bridge, preparing to cross it (to L10).
Tozer calls up to Ferriman, "I hurried off without my javelins. Could you hand 'em down?" Then, seeking to keep the fighting spirit alive in his band of fellow prisoners, he says, "Well fought, everyone! We're one step closer to leaving this filthy place behind us."
Ront: Uses his Action to toss the halves of the drow Imbros over the side. Besides hoping it will land on the quaggoth in the web at M5 (to annoy the beast), the corpse may also attract the spiders to that area, and away from underneath the guard tower.
Ront will then move from O6 to M10. He is tempted to be a jerk and run onto the bridge ahead of Derendil (clogging up the bridge), but seeing the quaggoth guts still dripping from Derendil's claws makes Ront think it would be wiser to wait for his turn.

Buppido surveys the room and seeing there are other prisoners still needing to cross the bridge takes no other action except to say enthusiastically, "Excellent! As soon as the others arrive, we can decide on our next move to get out of this rotten hole!"

Beegred:
Goes up to the storeroom, and spends 2 minutes to put on his leather armor and starting equipment weapons. Holds onto the hand crossbow and quiver of (19) bolts.
Beegred wouldn't mind a short rest to heal a hit die (unless he has leveled up at this time). But if the group thinks it is better to run/escape first, he is ready after 2 minutes.
Search the tower again. Any spell components packed away, or maybe on the dead guard? (Beegred would like a sprig of mistletoe.) Investigation: 10
"How high up are we? We've got two four 100' coils of rope. After we shoot any of the nearby spiders with the crossbows, we can climb down to the webs, then down to the stream/cavern floor, and get the abyss out of here... I hope someone knows which way to go from there? I can help with traveling around the Underdark (Ranger favored terrain), but someone else needs to be the navigator."

Several of the NPC's voice their ability to navigate the Underdark. However after talking over each other briefly, everyone decides to finish the escape before choosing what direction to take, and who will navigate.
Beegred also wants to cut down the east bridge before the quaggoths get back, unless someone gives a reason not to.
"I'd like to get back ALL the equipment I started with, not just my armor and weapons. But I think we need to escape and get stronger before thinking of invading that southeast Drow area. Do you all agree?"

Seeing the quaggoth departing, Narstin casts Cure Wounds to heal himself (for 10). He then climbs into the equipment room, putting on a chain mail shirt and grabbing a warhammer and shield, as well as hooking a pair of hand axes to his belt, then descends back down the ladder, feeling much better with a weapon and armor now.
Tozer now has his his maul and a pair of javelins; so he's in need of nothing. Eldeth asks for her two shortswords and leather armor. She then takes one minute to don her armor. Jimjar, as he requested earlier, needs his chain shirt, which he'll don later.
"I'm all for cuttin' the bridge, Beegred," responds Tozer. "Further conflict with the drow, however...I'm not sure about that."

Turvy will drop his sword, step to N5 and take a crossbow shot at the quaggoth below in the webs.
Hand crossbow Attack: 19 Damage: 8
He then steps back to O5.
Topsy will drop her sword, run up the stairs to fetch her hand crossbow and run back to N5, then take a shot at the quaggoth below.
Hand crossbow Attack: 19 Damage: 4
At this point, lets say combat is over. Everyone gets 208 XP (NPC's don't level).
What I need to know now, is how much time you spend inside the tower, what you do with that time, and what you do once the time has elapsed.
