"For what purpose would you keep it alive?" Jhazaal asks as he looks at the unconscious enemy. "we cannot take it along as a prisoner, if we leave it bound here it will be as good as killing it ourselves, and we dare not let it go, or it will get more of its kin and come against us once more." he shrugs, he has spoken his feelings on the matter, let the others figure it out.
Vera slumps to the ground exhausted as the group discusses what to do with the remaining Kuo-Toa. After catching her breath, she chimes in with "I think we should keep him alive and try and question him. See what he can tell us about Darklake. Shuushar, Could you help with that?"
(Also are we taking a rest? I think some of us could use it.)
"I am against killing him if we don't have to. Perhaps our friend can talk to him and get him to not try to kill us and not bring others to us. If we can't keep him alive, we should get it over with as quickly as we can and move onward."
"Do we have time to rest?" Jhazaal asks, glancing towards their back trail. "Who knows how far behind those Drow are..." he looks to the prisoner. "If you want to ask him questions I suggest you do it now. Any who need a break should do so while the questioning is happening."
Though exhausted, Vera manages to stand up and rummage through her pack before grabbing her large coil of rope. Walking over to the unconscious Kuo-Toa, she quickly ties its hands and legs together in a series of knots she learned from her training with the Sword Dancers before sitting down again with a groan. "Lets see if we can get it to cooperate first before anything more drastic done. Shuushar, I may need you to translate if it does not speak common." While she waited for it to recover, she secretly hoped that an execution would not be needed (not that she could stop any of the others in her current condition should they opted for that).

Jhazaal is not going to stop anyone from finishing off the captive. he keeps an eye on their back trail, and is ready to either take that short rest or start moving again, which ever the group decides to do.
"You can either tell us what you know of Darklake or you can have a nice little chat with my friend over here" Vera replies in kind as she points to Wendigo, to tired for niceties.
"Essentially he called us something rather impolite and I responded with giving him one chance to cooperate before he meets and untimely end. I don't suspect he'll be very cooperative though" she sighs in reply to Knox's question.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Thank you Knox, I will gladly take any assistance you offer" Vera replies to him quietly.
Looking back at the Kuo-Toa, she senses an unusual sensation that she attributes to the divine abilities of the Warforged. Pausing for a moment after the captive's second reply, she answers back in Undercommon:
"Last chance. I know you are trying to honor your God with your bravery and sacrifice but would you rather not be able to continue to serve him by living? We only ask for information as we approach Darklake and attempt to escape the Drow that had captured us, including one of your kin (as she points to Shuushar). Don't throw your life away for nothing!"

For a moment, Vera could see the hesitation on the captive's face and thought that she had actually convinced it back down and cooperate. She was sorely disappointed a moment later though when it made an about face and lunged right at her! Her reflexes kicking in, she side-stepped the Kuo-Toa and in one fluid motion drew one of her daggers and brought it down onto the crown of the creatures head killing it instantly. Staying still a long moment looking down at the body, she eventually blinked back into focus and reclaimed her her rope before announcing to the group "Well it looks like that failed. Let's rest here for a bit, I know Knox and I could use it,"before walking off without a word with a surprisingly melancholy look on her face.
(I can actually roll for Attack and Damage if you'd like and I'll adjust the post a bit)
Edit: you beat me to posting Wendigo so here are my rolls if necessary: Attack: 24 Damage: 10

Knox nods along as everyone voices their point of view.
"Interesting, I had not considered the ramification of the decision."
"Perhaps we can go with the interrogation for information and then attempt to convince them not to remain hostile?"
"Then if they refuse to comply, we can give them a quick execution."

The toa blinks into consciousness, then bares its fishy teeth at you. It rasps in Undercommon:
"You are nothing but food for the Deep Father, fool. Kill me or I will rip out your entrails and feast on them."
If no one knows Undercommon, Shushaar will translate.

Wendigo shrugs and whips out his axe again.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Jhazaal is not going to stop anyone from finishing off the captive. he keeps an eye on their back trail, and is ready to either take that short rest or start moving again, which ever the group decides to do.
(Vera speaks Undercommon)

Knox looks between the Kuo-toa, Wendigo and Vera.
"What did he say, and what do you say?"

Knox comes closer to Vera and asks her quietly.
"Would you like some divine assistance, perhaps it will help?"
Knox places his metal hand gently on her shoulder and release a pulse of magical energy.
Cast Guidance on Vera: +1d4 added to skill rolls (to help with Persuasion and/or Intimidation checks maybe?)

The Toa bares his teeth once more.
"Send him. I am not afraid of death!"

As it leaps forward, Wendigo steps up to bury his handaxe in its head.

Knox nods agreement with Vera and then looks around at all the dead.
"Should we collect any equipment we might be able to use?"
Knox indicates the bodies of the dead.
"Some of my equipment and all of my gold were taken and we may be able to make use of what they are no longer going to need."
Knox begins arranging the bodies together in an orderly layout, out of the way and then searches the bodies, using Guidance to help him.
Investigation check to search the bodies for loot: 16 (includes 1d4 from Guidance)
