Incantis, you are locked in place; grappled (but not prone), Strix's arms locked around your waist as though in a rugby tackle that has been frozen in time mid-way through. It's a little uncomfortable and awkward.
What would you like to do?
"Don't interfere with fate Strix!" Incantis telepaths to the monk. A spider, ethereal and fey-like, crawls up Strix' shoulder, helping Incantis to escape the grapple.
Incantis, half-elf warlock (great old one) 4/bard 1 ● Thorok Earthhand, hill dwarf mountain druid 6/grave cleric 2
Cragmyre Ironseed, earth genasi ancestral barbarian 3 ● Cyrus Natriallae, aquatic half-elf warlock of the deep 3
How far would you say I am from the brazier at this point?

Incantis is perhaps five feet from the brazier; not close enough to touch it without moving (which he can't do while grappled).
Exactly my follow-up question, thank you.

Dekhan rushes over to his struggling friends Hold on now! Hold on! Incantis, we don’t know what will happen! Give us a minute to figure this out! Dekhan will attempt to calm Incantis, failing that he will help Strix restrain him.
Incantis, if you wish to attempt to escape the grapple, it's another contested check, so roll Acrobatics or Athletics with advantage.
Strix, you have a spider on your face. Roll to maintain the grapple.
"Dekhan, take amlet! Elf wanted this, can't be good!"
Athletics 19
(Is Dekhans help cancelled by spider giving me disadvantage or is spider giving Incantis advantage?)

The spider is giving Incantis advantage, so technically Dekhan is giving you advantage. Feel free to roll again.
Varinth has a drink, watching the drama unfold.
At his earliest opportunity Dekhan will grab for the amulet.
Okay, as you guys are really getting into this, please roll initiative. :) That doesn't mean that you have to get into any real combat, just that we need initiative to help resolve all these grapples and grabs and so on.

Varinth will back away, not wanting to participate, mostly because he doesn't know whats going on...
Init 13
Strix, Shifter Shadow Monk in Lost Mines of Phandelver ¦ Sihegiall Human Soulknife Rogue in In Search of Molly McGuffin
Okay, so the initiative order is:
Strix (Init 13, DEX +3)
Incantis (Init 13, DEX +2)
Scupper (Init 8, DEX +3)
Dekhan (Init 8, DEX 0)
Zhudala
Varinth is out of the action.
The situation is, Strix has Incantis grappled around the waist, about 5 feet from the brazier. Dekhan is standing next to Incantis, Scupper is standing next to the brazier.
Strix is up.
(Do I need to roll to maintain the hold? )
If yes : 5
Otherwise, use that to try and push him prone.
"Inky. Wait. Please?"
