Sekkar's first impulse was to chew through the bindings (he had to eat worse thing in these tunnels and his jaws were strong enough to chew through the stone may be), but he suppressed it. He might not be fast enough and then fish could decide the prisoner was not worth it after all and finally kill him. Instead he behaved, observing the enemy, and even politely (for the circumstances) asked: Zer nahi duzu gurekin? //What do you want with us?//

Kaylyn considers their situation after regaining consciousness.

The kuo-toa seem intent on watching them and she hopes they have overlooked the pseudodragon completely.  She sends him away for a moment and then recalls him 30 feet up in the darkness if possible or out behind them with instructions to stay hidden and find Zeno.

She keeps her thoughts simple for the pseudodragon to understand.  She knows she can sense what Pensive senses when he is within a mile of her but to communicate he has to be within 100 feet of her.  She'll lose that contact soon if they don't follow behind too close.

"Help Zeno, stay within 1 Mile of me" are the instructions given telepathically.

Rhayna holding on to Stool, will look at the kuo-toa guards. Whenever they are not paying attention to her, she will try to heal her companions. (Rhayna will try to discreetly cast [spell]Healing Word] Kaylyn, Kastix, and Joetaro.)

Rhayna's Healing: Kaylyn:5 Kastix:6 Joetaro:7

Pensive: Perception:17 Zeno recognises the pseudodragon flying nearby in the darkness, and that it appears to be searching for him. He can easily reveal himself to Pensive without alerting the kuo-toa, but if he chooses to remain hidden, then make a Stealth check.

The kuo-toa next to Sekkar doesn't turn its head to answer, but the eye on the side of its head rolls around to look at him as it replies in its gargling voice: Sakrifikatua izango zara, Leemoogoogoonen aintzara. //You will be sacrificed for the glory of Leemoogoogoon//. Shuushar quietly mutters to Joetaro: Of this new god heard I have not. To my village near we are.

The group has been marching for about an hour when the gully widens, requiring all the guards to walk on the same level as the prisoners, while the ledge remains high on either side. Suddenly movement is seen from the ledges as ANOTHER army of kuo-toa emerge and start throwing nets down on those guarding the prisoners. Askatu presoak! //Free the prisoners!// cries out what appears to be the leader of the newcomers as battle breaks out between the two groups.

(I'm not going to attempt to map this combat, but suffice to say there are about 14 newly-arrived kuo-toa, similar to the last group but with less foot-soldiers and one archpriest. For now your weapons are being held by the kuo-toa beside you. Your bindings can be broken with a DC 17 STR check (takes an action), or you can take an action to unbind someone else.)

OOC: How about chewing it off? :)

Sekkar STR: 22

First thing first - despite his condition, Sekkar flexed his muscles and ripped his bindings apart! Then he trie dto grab his weapon from a nearby kuo-toa.

Joetaro attempts to break his bonds.

STR check - 17

In the moment of the initial attack Kaylyn does not try to free herself.  She moves to and reaches out to Joetaro and casts Healing Word on him for 16 hp. 

Actually, just a thought... If you succeed on your STR check (which Sekkar and Joetaro have) you can choose to use a bonus action to snatch your weapon from the kuo-toa guarding you. I'd say make a Sleight of Hand check against DC 15. Alternatively, next turn you can make the same check as a bonus action, or make an unarmed attack roll as an action (with advantage, cos your opponent is probably restrained in a net) and reclaim your weapon instead of doing damage.

Kastix will just try not to get hit in the crossfire, taking dodge action if possible. He knows well enough by now his strength is gone now. 

Zeno will wave Pensieve down, whispering, “Not sure if she can hear, buddy, but I’m still here. Just trying to stay hidden til we can find a moment to get through this.”

If Zeno makes it up when the fighting starts, he will try to stay hidden and try to line up a shot on one of the leaders of the other group.

(Disadvantage for staying at longer range, but assuming sneak attack.)

Attack: 12 Damage: 8

Stealth Damage: 6

OOC: How interesting - yesterday I wrote a paragraph, describing how Sekkar was breaking his bindings and taking the weapon. Apparently, editing did not stick. Oh, well.

Sleight of Hand: 15

Despite being almost dead, Sekkar managed to collect himself, flexed his muscles and ripped his bindings apart, turning then to the guard and freeing his weapon from him!

Rhayna sees that Sekkar is still very hurt and prays to Selune to heal her companion. (Healing Word lvl2 heal: 8)

(OCC: Sorry. I didn't realized Sekkar was in a such bad shape.)

 ((Sekkar should have at least 15 because Kaylyn healed him in post #1495 and Joetaro should be at 22 now))

Pensive flys down to Zeno and lands on this shoulder.  Zeno would feel a warm sense of relief as the tiny pseudodragon came into view.  This emotion would then turn to concern for the others.  Pensive would communicate the simple idea of following the others from a distance but that he was willing to help as needed.

Kaylyn's healing in post #1495 revived Sekkar, but then he lost HP again during the first battle.

The first battle with the kuo-toa could have gone either way (at least I planned it that way) and the outcomes would have slightly altered the narrative. However with this combat I'd already decided what I wanted the outcome to be. I don't want to nerf anyone's fun, but after careful consideration, I figured you might prefer to continue with the story rather than run another long combat with a predetermined outcome, and with over 40 combatants, it will be long regardless of whether or not I use abstract combat rules. Instead, I'll just set the scene and allow everyone to narrate their own epic heroic actions. If you want to make some rolls for flavour (intimidate some enemies, or do some insane acrobatics, for example) then go crazy. So with that in mind...

The newcomers are fresh and seem to have the advantage of terrain, but the original kuo-toa are greater in number and fight with unusual ferocity. The battle hangs in the balance. Then then Sekkar rips his bindings off with his teeth and lunges for his longsword, snatching it from his kuo-toa guard just as Rhayna's prayer bolster's his strength. Joetaro manages to pull hard enough on the bonds to slip out of them, and likewise feels celestial power from Kaylyn restore his life-force as the pseudodragon lands on the warlock's shoulder. Kastix ducks under the spear-points thrusting in from both sides, and looks up at his captors with a wicked grin. As the two battalions of kuo-toa clash, those in the gully call on the Deep Father for strength, while the newcomers appeal to the Sea Mother. The venerated fish-priest casts a spell, and more healing power floods in to Sekkar, Joetaro, Rhayna, Kaylyn, Kastix and Sarith.
Mass Cure Wounds: 10 HP gained by each.

OOC: Sekkar was taken down after that healing and was at 0, so, Rhayna now restored him gave him a fighting chance.

Sekkar did not manage to liberate his shield too, did he? :)

Just getting free of the drow, Sekkar did not plan to end his life as a sacrifice to anyone. As healing power of his comrades restored his strength, and the weapon in his hand - his confidence, he did not go far but attacked the closest guard:

Attack: 8 Damage: 14 

Attack: 23 Damage: 7 + 7

Kastix will try tto lead to Sekkar if he can see Sekkar has a weapon while will cast Thaumaturgy create rumble of thunder behind eniems as possible distraction, "Cut me loose," Kastix holds up his tied hands to Sekkar.  

Kaylyn is awash with joy as Pensive comes within 100 feet of her and then alights on her shoulder.  She nearly stops paying attention to what is going on around her as the emotions from the pseudodragon nearly overwhelm her.

Taking the opportunity she disengages from the fight and moves towards the be group that seems to be trying to free them.  Once clear of the general melee she used her powers to send blasts of Eldritch Energy at those she identified as the leaders of the group that initially held them captive. 

Joetaro is going to move toward the group that is trying to free them as well. He'll hold an action - if the kuo-toa attacks, he will cast sleep on the creature who attacks him and anyone aiding them.
