Reelq manages to scurry under the bed without drawing the drow's attention, and grabs the sword! The drow is still yelling at Mikmek, shaking the kobold for emphasis.

Reelq will ready the sword and then move to charge at the drow that is throttling Mikmek. As he gets close he will attempt to stab the elf holding the other kobold.
Shortsword: Attack: 17 Damage: 9
Whether he hits or misses he will then Action Surge to attempt another strike
The drow throttling Mikmek folds onto the ground after the first stab, and the second stab makes sure the job is finished. Mikmek falls to the ground as well. He rubs his head and turns to Reelq. "That worked! What now?" From what the two kobolds can hear, it doesn't sound like anybody else has caught on to what just occurred.

Reelq will quickly move over to the drow and begin to root through his things, looking for other weapons and a key for their chains if possible. "We need to get weapons and find our equipment. If not then we need to hide the body and ourselves at the very least."
Reelq finds on the drow a hand crossbow, as well as a case with 20 bolts, and a shortsword similar to the one he'd just used to fell the dark elf. He also finds a ring of keys attached to the drow's belt. "Let's move the body under the bed," Mikmek says.

Reelq nods as he moves to grab the other sword and the crossbow along with its bolts. "Right then we need to find a place to hide. It won't take them long to find the body. Now we need to decide if we run or go and free the others to be a distraction."
"Where would we run to? The only way down from here to the exit is a lift, and that needs to be operated by someone at the top! Unless we get one of the drow to--wait, what's that sound?"
Mikmek goes quiet, listening to something in the air. After a moment, Reelq can hear it as well. A faint buzzing noise, coming from the cavern. It seems to be growing louder.

Reelq title his head at the sound and moves to ready the crossbow he had gotten, pushing the spare shortsword towards Mikmek. "Then let's focus on finding our things together quickly. I feel naked without armor."
As the drow seem to be preoccupied with whatever is making the sound, Reelq and Mikmek are able to quietly and stealthily move across the rope bridges, and make their way to the guard tower unnoticed. Mikmek points to the stairs leading up to a second floor.
The buzzing, droning sound seems to be growing louder with each passing second. Soon, it is coupled with shouts coming from outside the guard tower.

Reelq nods and continues to move slowly into the room. If he can he will begin to hastily look for his items, not wanting to know what the buzzing could possibly mean. "Find you things quickly and grab anything else that looks like it might useful."
Reelq is able to find his equipment, and thankfully his "fire stick" is still in one piece. Meanwhile, the buzzing sound grows louder, and shouts can be heard from outside the guard tower.

Reelq grabs his armor and gun but leaves his own shortswords behind as he finds the drow blades to be of a better make then his own. Once he is in his armor he will load his gun and then make sure that Mikmek has his own equipment. "For now I will stick with this crossbow. My fire stick makes to much noise."
Mikmek has found his quarterstaff, as well as his holy symbol of Tiamat. "Let's move. That buzz is beginning to drive me crazy."
As the two make their way to the exit of the guard tower, they arrive just in time to see a drow on the rope bridge towards the prisoner's cell get thrown off by a large, monstrous creature. Crossbow bolts fly at the creature, but seemingly to no avail, as it takes flight again.

Reelq sees this and curses as he motions for Mikmek to move as quickly as possible, setting the crossbow down and to the side as he grabs his gun. At this point to the Kobold it would seem that the noise from his gun was going to be the least of his problems. "We should try to avoid going near that thing if we can."
Mikmek points down. "We can jump onto the spider webs below, and dive into the pool! Hurry, to avoid that... thing!"
The buzzing noise reaches its peak, and a second terrible beast is seen flying through the air, like a twisted abomination of a man crossed with a mosquito.

Reelq nods as he rushes forward and jumps towards the pull as quickly as he can, looking back for a few seconds as he makes sure that Mikmek is keeping up. Once they hit either the webs or the pool he will look for a way out.

With his darkvision, Reelq is able to see three exits from the cavern; one to the northeast, one to the northwest, and one to the southwest. "Which way?" Mikmek asks. Before Reelq has an opportunity to respond, however, some of the water begins to coalesce to a central point, and rise up from the surface of the pool. A gray ooze attacks the kobolds!
Reelq quickly moves to make his way to the weapon, scrambling as fast as he can.

"Right," Mikmek says after a moment, briefly distracted by the buzz. "The guard tower must be where they have everything stored. Let's move."
If you attempt to move silently, roll Stealth with advantage.

Reelq nods and moves slowly, loading the hand crossbow as he shows the shortsword on his side as best he can. "Stay low and run if you get seen."
