Everyone can indeed hear the voice just fine and recognise it as Gartokkar, the head of the Keepers of the Flame, although they can't fix his location as his words echo off the tunnel walls. As he continues to speak in Undercommon, Rhayna (who remains invisible along with Kastix) and Pax find the voice particularly captivating, and focus entirely on what he has to say. The others remain aware of their surroundings as Gartokkar speaks on in his gruff dwarven voice:
I see that there are but three of your number present, but be assured that we will apprehend the other oath-breaker surface scum and bring them before the throne.
Sekkar/Zeno:
Zeno slips soundlessly into the darkness as soon as the voice is heard. Both Zeno and Sekkar also resist being enraptured by the voice, but in additional they detect hints of movement in their peripheral vision, and realise that as Gartokkar is speaking the group is being surrounded by a number of other duergar and several drow. Neither Sekkar nor Zeno can determine the exact numbers, nor pinpoint Gartokkar among them. Dawnbringer hums a happy tune in Sekkar's mind, interspersed with lyrics of blood and death.

Sekkar slapped his forehead "Pins! Why did we keep ti!" He shook his head. "And here I thought the priest accepted Dragon's orders. We are surrounded by duergars and drow, everyone, prepare to fight." With that Sekkar repeated Zeno-s trick and disappear into the darkness. Stealth : 13

Pax stands there listening, her head cocked, her red curly hair tumbling down around her face, "Guys, listen, I think he's about to give something vital away... a clue....or something...what is he going to say next? Shhhh...quiet...you all have to listen...."

"Sssssnap out offf it! Bothfff offf you!" Sekkar was getting angry and his hissing became more noticeable. He immediately moved away from the spot he was on, and continued looking into the darkness asking Dawnbringer to do the same.
Pensive seems to be having difficulty locating the shadowy figures in the darkness, but Sekkar and Zeno can see now there are eight duergar and four drow. Two of the duergar appear to be Stone Guards, five are dragon-priests, and the last is Gartokkar himself.
Six of the duergar move in on Pax and Kaylyn with nets, but with Sekkar's shout of alarm, Kaylyn at least is aware of their presence, while Rhayna and Pax are taken by surprise. Meanwhile, Zeno and Kastix are each ambushed by two drow, and Sekkar finds himself near another dragon-priest who doesn't appear to have seen him.
Everyone roll initiative. I put Sekkar/Pax at the front, Rhayna/Kaylyn in the next rank, and Kastix/Zeno in the back. Kastix, Zeno and Sekkar have moved outward.
Sekkar is invisible (due to Umbral Sight) and hidden Pax is enthralled and therefore surprised this round Rhayna is enthralled and surprised also, as well as invisible Kaylyn has Blade Ward active Kastix is invisible and hidden Zeno is hidden
Rhayna and Pax will be able to act normally on the next round. I think the deception will be up once they realise they are being attacked.

It's 35' to Gartokkar, so unless Sekkar can go that far, he will have to do the one next to him. Or the one down and to the left.
