Runt - drow missed
Eldeth groans as she takes the hit, appearing fairly injured. Cont. saving throw 11

Seeing two go down and one more immobilized, the old gnome curses in Undercommon. He yells an arcane phrase and makes a strange hand gesture, ending with an open palm aimed at Shoor. Three glowing darts of magical force erupt from Tanser's palm and fly at the priestess's pet.
3+4+5
Without even watching the result of his attack, the old gnome turns and does just as Eldith suggested: goes for safety.
Shoor flinches as the arcane magic zaps him, but appears fine.
"Go, go!" Turvey runs with his brother to the edge of the bridge, both jumping into the waterfall.
"If we get separated, make for the west exit!" Jimjar calls to Tanser in gnomish. "That's the fastest way to Darklake!" With that, the deep gnome jumps off of the bridge, towards the waterfall, disappearing through the misty spray.
Stool, the small mushroom creature, panics, turning between the waterfall and the rest of the party. It finally scurries towards Daerthe and Mars, but can only make it ten feet in their direction.
"Too much violence, there is!" Shuushar cries, and jumps off the bridge towards the waterfall as well.

"You made a mistake in capturing the great Buppido, dark elves!" the derro draws his knife, hurling it towards the drow hit by Eldeth. Attack: 8 Damage: 6
Derendil is unconscious, the hulkish quaggoth snoring loudly.
Ront the orc gives a mighty battle roar, charging forward towards the drow closest to the bridge. Attack: 21 Damage (unarmed strike): 4

"Fools, all of you!" Ilvara steps forward beside the drow guards, whip in one hand, a large rod with three lashing tentacles in the other. "You shall be brought to Menzoberranzan, and I shall receive my promotion!"
Cursing that the other prisoners were foolish enough to attack the Drow, Daerthe will decide it seems to be everyone for themselves. "If you can wake any of them up then do it! If not be smart and run!" Daerthe yells out before she runs another sixty feet away from the priestess and her drow.
Thun has backed up with Tanser, shield up and ready to protect from any incoming attacks.
Round 2
A screeching sounds as a bird-like creature, recognizable as the same form of beast the adventurers fought previously, crashes into the bridge. The force of the large monster cracks the bridge. The unconscious Derendil and Sarith fall immediately, along with Buppido Stool the myconid, splashing into the pool below. Tanser, Thun, Tuma give me althetic or acrobatics (your choice) saving throws if you're attempting to catch yourself on the falling bridge, or you may choose to fall to the pool below.
Initiative order: (I’ll add thun in once he rolls, we can get this going for now)
Daerthe and Mars move back during their turns, making it back off the bridge before preparing to dodge incoming attacks.
The five drow guards move within 30 feet of the party, and take aim with their crossbows.
1. Firing at Runt - 18 damage 7
2. Eldeth -20 damage 7
3. Buppido - 8 damage 8
4. Derendil - 20 damage 6
5. Sarith - 9 damage 8
Prince Derendil and Sarith collapse to the ground, unconscious.
"Get ye to safety, all of ya!" Eldeth cries as she pulls the crossbow bolt from her side. "I'll hold them off as long as I can!"
With a mighty battle roar, she dashes towards the drow, swinging to hit the first with her shortsword. Attack: 22 Damage: 7
"I will capture these miscreants for you, Priestess!" the massive Shoor procures a wand from his belt, pointing it towards Eldeth. Attack: 13
Jorlan fumbles with his crossbow as his arm twitches, aiming towards Ront the orc. Attack: 9 Damage: 10
A green glob flies from the wand, sticking to Eldeth. It expands, surrounding the dwarf, and holding her in place.
Jorlan's shot goes wide, missing his target entirely.
Tanser your turn.
Seeing two go down and one more immobilized, the old gnome curses in Undercommon. He yells an arcane phrase and makes a strange hand gesture, ending with an open palm aimed at Shoor. Three glowing darts of magical force erupt from Tanser's palm and fly at the priestess's pet.

Tuma your turn.
((OOC: I got dragged into OT today, apologies for the lag in response! Wherever I land in the Roll, this would be my action: ))
Thun isn't going to attack just yet, He'll ready his shield for any further attacks and try to follow the Deep Gnome.
no worries. You'll be last in initiative order so you've got time. Deep gnome being Tanser? Or one of the npcs?
Tanser
Stool, the small mushroom creature, panics, turning between the waterfall and the rest of the party. It finally scurries towards Daerthe and Mars, but can only make it ten feet in their direction.
"Too much violence, there is!" Shuushar cries, and jumps off the bridge towards the waterfall as well.
A large splash sounds in the pool below.
"You made a mistake in capturing the great Buppido, dark elves!" the derro draws his knife, hurling it towards the drow hit by Eldeth. Attack: 8 Damage: 6
Derendil is unconscious, the hulkish quaggoth snoring loudly.
Ront the orc gives a mighty battle roar, charging forward towards the drow closest to the bridge. Attack: 21 Damage (unarmed strike): 4
Buppido's dagger misses its mark, clanging harmlessly on the stone.
Ront's fists pummel into the drow, who seemly barely clinging to life, face scarlet with the blood streaming from his mouth and nose.
"Fools, all of you!" Ilvara steps forward beside the drow guards, whip in one hand, a large rod with three lashing tentacles in the other. "You shall be brought to Menzoberranzan, and I shall receive my promotion!"
She cracks her whip, aiming for the orc, Ront.
Attack: 18 Damage: 5 + 13
Ront falls to the ground, knocked unconscious by the blow.
"That is how you deal with dissenting prisoners," she hisses. With a few words of the arcane, she points to the injured drow guard, 11
The drow's face appears to somewhat reconstruct itself, the flow of blood stopping. He readies himself once more for the fight.
Cursing that the other prisoners were foolish enough to attack the Drow, Daerthe will decide it seems to be everyone for themselves. "If you can wake any of them up then do it! If not be smart and run!" Daerthe yells out before she runs another sixty feet away from the priestess and her drow.

It will be Daerthe's turn.
