Tobias’ spell doesn’t seem to have an effect on El. Although Tobias doesn’t know that the Drow is in fact El, perhaps his god Torm does. The Drow pulling the gate open looks at El.

Drow 4 Insight 12

”Come and grab this and keep pulling then. I’ll shoot down our enemies”

As El and the Drow exchange positions, another ball of purple energy flies towards the area they’re stood in but doesn’t hit anybody. 

Cyndral

Action: Acid Splash Damage 5

Drow 3 Dex Save 11 

(-1d4 too)

Cyndral shoots another bolt of acid over at the Drow. This time, the acid hits and face and begins to slowly burn away at the skin. 

The gate is still just lifted by just a foot, while stood by the mechanism, El looks into the gated off area as 2 creatures make their way to the gate. El recognizes these to be the same race and Drendil, Quaggoths.

Gnarls, feeling sluggish from the poison, attempts to stab the Drow in the kidneys while holding on strong.

 "This ends badly for you dark one. Never cross the Uthgardt" he snarls at the Drow with a psychotic bloodlust on his face

Edit,OoC: Woo, what a roll!

Holding onto the shortsword, still struggling  to grapple the Drow, poison running through his veins, the odds are agains Gnarls. But still, he closes his eyes and wishes for the best. The sword plunges in to the Drow’s side and the struggle becomes less. Then, as it buckled at the knees, the body that Gnarls is holding onto begins to fall to the floor where it lies lifeless in its place.

(If I can I'd like to use my movement to go to d7)

After killing the Drow, Gnarls runs straight between Tobias and Verim, making his way towards the Quaggoth pit. 

     Tobias grasps toward the sky and attempts to bring down a bolt of radiant flame from the heavens, down onto the drow Gnarls is charging towards. He then follows behind the halfing.

Movement: to Z9 

Crossbow Attack against Drow 1: 7 Damage: 3

Tobias’ Flames appear around the Drow who manages to get out of the way before they begin to harm him. Sarith and JimJar both cross the bridge, passing Shishakli. Sarith mutters something and a purple aura appears for a split second where all there enemies are. The light disappears and nothing happens. JimJar fires a crossbow bolt to the other side. The distance is too great for him and the bolt misses. He shouts over to Shishakli "I bet you could do better!" 

Drow 1

Hand Crossbow Attack Against JimJar: 5 Damage: 7 Piercing. If hit target must make a Constitution Saving throw

Drow 4

Hand Crossbow Attack Against Gnarls: 12 Damage: 7 Piercing. If hit target must make a Constitution Saving throw

Seeing JimJar on the far side firing at him, the Drow attempts to fire back. The bolt hits the ledge behind JimJar. The Drow formerly pulling open the gate now steps forwards, seeing Gnarls rush towards him he tries to fire against the halfling who lifts his newly acquired sword just in time and the bolt ricochets off.

El pricks their thumb with the tip of the shortsword and mutters an incantation as quite as possible, hoping the distractions around them will be enough to cover their activity (SoH). They target the two Drow in front of them. As they do they gradually slow the raising of the gate, again, attempting to go unnoticed (Dec)

They use the spores to contact those within range "It's El, I disguised myself as a Drow Guard! I'm the one raising the gate, don't worry I'm not going to finish, I'm just keeping my cover. I'll help out from here but I needed to stall until you came to help. We may not have been lucky to be captured but from now on we make our own luck!"

(OOC - Drow 1 and Quaggoth 1 now have Bane) 

El mutters the cantation quietly and unnoticed. While doing so, El seems to forget about lifting the gate. The two Drow both shout over. “What the hell do you think you’re doing! Open this gate! Are you... are you trying to help them?”

Gnarls, Tobias, Group 1, Group 2, Group 3

Verim seeing the Drow argue and with themselves decides to let off another blast of Eldritch Energy 

“Mystra give me strength in this time of need” 

Attack: 22 Damage: 3

Mystra doesn’t appear to be listening as Verim’s magical energy misses its target.

With the dead drow in front of him, Shishakli grabs the crossbow he was holding ((I'm assuming/hoping it has one bolt in it?)) and brings it around to shoot at D4, who is the closest.

Attack: 22 Damage: 8

As Shishakli picks up the crossbow, he looks over at the other Drow. Takes aim and fires. The bolt flies across the cavern and with a loud Ping! The bolt hits a rock somewhere close to the Drow.
