Voyage nods at Nicholas's comments. "Aye. I don't like our odds, but I won't be chained up again. Shushaar, what is their ultimate intention? We mean them no harm and we will accompany them peacefully, but we will not come as their prisoners."
(I'm assuming I can't insight check them because I don't know their language.)
Thodek firmly shakes his head, "Once a slave was enough. I will not surrender either my weapons or my person. But I would agree to go with them peacefully to discuss this with someone in charge if you think they'd guarantee our safety. Otherwise, I think we're better off heading for the surface."
"If they want us to surrender I would rather we pass them by," he then looks to Shushaar, "Will they let us go peacefully if we don't head towards the city they are from? I rather not fight, if we can avoid it."

Syvis: You underestimates the coldness and amount of debris that would be in the water. Due to this, it takes much more time and effort to flank the boat, and you find yourself coughing and spluttering as you surface behind the boat. This alerts the back two kuo toa to your location and they begin to raise their spears to attack.
What would you like to do?
(The rest of the party would have noticed this unstealthy flanking as well, and would know that Syvis is in trouble.)
Voyage sighs, watching the kuo-tuas notice Syvis. She makes a half-shrug at the group and traces a rune into the air and pushes another Eldritch Blast of shimmery blue-green energy at the belligerent leader of the kuo-tuas, hoping to give Syvis at least enough time to get herself into condition to fight back.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cailean joins in on the attack, casting produce flame at the leader as well. (Attack: 13 Damage: 2)
Rian casts bless on Voyage, Thodek, and Nicholas, so make sure to be adding a d4 to attack rolls and saving throws from now on.
Jimjar draws his crossbow, taking a shot at the leader kuo toa as well. (Attack: 20 Damage (Including Sneak Attack): 12) before moving to stands in between the twins and the kuo toa; protecting them.
Derendildashes and is able to clamber up onto the boat to reach melee range with the Kuo Toa.
Shuushar move next to Voyage and looks in fear towards Stool “Stay safe, young one!” he yells.
The kuo toa monitor (leader) is barraged by multiple attacks as Jimjar, Voyage, Nicholas, and Thodek all target the same creature (-34hp).
Syvis also attacks, hitting one of the back kuo toa in the shoulder (-9hp) before successfully hiding by ducking back into the water.
Cailean Initiative: 5 NPC Initiative: 7 (Rian will act with the NPCs)

As a bonus action, Voyage will cast Expeditious Retreat on herself. She will back up 15 feet and then fall to one knee and cast another Eldritch Blast at the kuo tua monitor.

As the kuo toa leader continues to converse with Shuushar, his tone becoming increasingly agitated and his body language more bombastic.
In short, you are beginning to get the sense the conversation isn’t going very well and the time to get a surprise round is rapidly waning.
What would you like to do?
(I forgot this earlier, but Syvis please make a stealth check as you swim behind the fishing boat)
