This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
In quick succession, the four clay jars shatter on the ground at various points between Hordkhen and Delirious. The first two explode in a web of sticky goo, the second two explode in an explosion of exploding.
Glue Bomb. Each creature within 10 feet of the bomb’s target point must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained. The target or another creature within reach of it can use an action to make a DC 11 Strength check; if the check succeeds, the effect on the target ends.
Fire Bomb. Each creature within 10 feet of the bomb’s target point must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage (half as much damage on a successful saving throw). Bomb 1: 6 Bomb 2: 8
Delirious adeptly dodges the sticky stuff, and one of the blasts of fire, but catches one fully. (10 damage total)
Hordkhen dodges the first bout of goo, 8, 1, 18 but gets stuck in the second. He also fails to dodge one fire bomb (Disadvantage on the last DEX Save, now that he's restrained: 1 This was a 10, I think everything before this roll remained true.) and shield himself from the other. Nope. (14 damage total)
Delirious: 17, Kamag: 15, Place': 16 Forgot the rules on posting new dice rolls to an old post, but I recorded the real values before it messed up.

Round 1: Bomb Chuckers and Darkness
Kod rips the glue from Hordkhen and frees him from restraint.
Kamag gets 30' closer to the pit, lights a torch and tosses it closer. Now that he is about 10' from the edge, he notices a ladder going down, and from this angle can see to the back of it. It's about 10' deep but he can't see the creatures throwing bombs, they must be up against the ledge.
Place', however, does get close enough to see that the bomb chuckers are kobolds. He can't relay that information, though, unless anyone can speak elk. Everyone is within range to receive the benefits of his totem and gains some vigor.
Four more clay bombs fly through the air to the same location. This time, Kod is within the area of effect along with Delirious and Hordkhen. Just like before, 2 are glue bombs and 2 are firebombs. After chucking the bombs, the four Kobolds run to the back of the pit along the wall, and can now be seen by Kamag, who I suppose could relay that information. Delirious: 21, 12, 9, 8 All saves passed! Delirious is not restrained and takes half damage from each firebomb. Kod: 7, 16, 18, 21 Hordkhen: 19, 19, 12, 1 Kod and Hordkhen both get stuck in the glue and make their saves for the firebombs at disadvantage now: Kod: 23, 16 Hordkhen: 19, 9 Firebombs: #1 2, #2 4 None of the damage dips anyone below temp HP, though.
Hordkhen, Lyria, Delirious are up. Hordkhen and Kod are currently restrained. anyone trying to break out of the glue does so with advantage due to Place's totem.

Delirious readies his bow and moves toward the edge of the drop-off where the clay bombs are being thrown up. If there are two standing next to each other he starts with them, if not then the one that looks ready to throw a bomb next. Also, if there happens to be a pile of bombs I may target let me know.

Hordkhen, singed and still struggling with bits of glue, charges awkwardly to the stairs and down as fast as he can, to reveal the assailants to the party. He loads his crossbow, and takes a deep breath; thinking "Oxen shit bastards hurling weapons from the shadows, I need to reveal their numbers and positions.."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hordkhen must try to break free of the glue again, before moving, since he became restrained from the second volley as well. 23 Unfortunately, his athleticism is no match for the second glue bomb, and he cannot move. (I believe that is your turn, unless you have a bonus action you want to do, like Second Wind, or take an Action Surge. Also, the clay-pot-bombs were coming from the smaller East pit in the cavern, not the Southern area with the stairs. The gate at the bottom of the stairs has not yet been unlocked and Delirious is holding the key for it.)
Lyria easily removes Kod's glue restraints. She notices a pattern of weak points in the sticky goop and rips it apart. (That was your action and 5' of movement, you still have 25' left if you want.)
Delirious, as is his usual response, starts firing arrows. He walks up to the edge of the East pit and notes four kobolds lined up perfectly along the far wall. With no visible piles of bombs, he simply lets two arrows fly and two kobolds on the North end go down.
Hordkhen has a couple more options if he choses, Lyria has more movement, Kod is up and no longer restrained, Kamag and Place' are up as well.

Round 2: Bomb Chuckers and Darkness
Kod charges to the edge of the East pit and climbs down the ladder, using Dash to reach melee with the two bomb-chucking kobolds. (not raging?)
Kamag also climbs down the ladder but waits back a step. (You could hold an action or even reach melee to attack)
Place'-Elk can't really use ladders, so he leaps down to where the kobolds are. Athletics: 19 He lands in a beautiful display of majesty and flawlessly continues his charge, uninterrupted, toward the kobolds. Unfortunately he misses as the kobold steps aside and Place's antlers strike the cave wall.
Suddenly, several whipping sounds come from the darkness of the Southern part of the cavern, past the locked gate in the area 15' down from where you are. Three brown, sticky tendrils shoot out of the darkness at Lyria, Hordkhen and Delirious. Hordkhen and Delirious notice the source immediately, but Lyria cannot see past the torchlight. Place', Kod and Kamag are out of the line of sight of this whole occurrence and would only notice Delirious being attacked by a tendril, but not the source. Delirious and Hordkhen:
Your vision follows the tendrils back to a stalagmite that until just now, seemed like a normal stalagmite, but a single eye opens on the side facing you, and a drooling, hissing mouth opens just below it. It has 3 flailing tentacles not currently in use, for a total of 6. It's about 50' away, but moves 10' closer while you watch it.
You all hear, "YUMMIES! Fresh food!" As the three of you still atop the Northern ridge are accosted by sticky tentacles. Lyria: 8 Hordkhen: 23 Delirious: 15 The tendril cannot get a hold on Horkhen through the glue that already has him held fast, but both Lyria and Delirious get wrapped up by the tentacles... and subsequently dragged off the edge of the ridge toward the source, each taking 6 damage from the fall while the tendrils continue to drag you in... You are both considered grappled and restrained. Also, while enveloped in the grasp of this thing, you feel weaker, and have disadvantage on STR checks and saves. The tendrils appear thin enough to be cut through or broken. Lyria, Delirious and Hordkhen can make a Nature check. Lyria's will be at a higher DC since she can only see the tendril and then got dragged into darkness.
Meanwhile, the two kobolds attack Kod and Place' with daggers. Kod: Attack: 15 Damage: 5 Hit. Place': Attack: 16 Damage: 5 Hit.
Hordkhen, Lyria and Delirious are up... but you're all restrained one way or another and it takes an action to get out. You do have other options like things that don't take STR, or attack rolls, or DEX... but you know... not much. However, you're still within Place's STR totem, so that would cancel out the disadvantage.

None of the damage dips anyone below temp HP, though.

Kamag shouts "Two filthy kobolds ate arrows, two left to kill!!", then moves to the bottom of the ladder and takes up a defensive posture.

In a surge of action he rushes to Lyria and slices at the tendril holding her: longsword 18 dmg 5
