Everyone’s attacks except for Voyage’s eldritch blast which flies into the nearby cavern wall, strike true. The monitor let’s out a pained cry as both Thodek and Nicholas continue their assault (-11hp [Total: -45hp]) while Syvis is able to take out one of the eight kuo toa with a second bolt of her crossbow (-9hp [Dead]).
Cailean casts produce flame, hurling the ball of fire towards the monitor (Attack: 11 Damage: 6) However the Kuo Toa is deftly able to dodge out of the way (Miss).
The Kuo Toa are up!
The kuo toa monitor turns to Thodek and makes a bite attack and two unarmed strikes towards the Duergar cleric.
Although you are able to block the bite, both unarmed strikes hit true (-19hp [Unconscious]), and the extra lightning damage seems to have seeped your energy (You can no longer take a reaction until the end of the monitors next turn).
The 7 remaining Kuo Toa all brandish nets and will attempt to restrain Derendil, Shuushar, and Thodek as they are the only 3 in range.
Derendil: (Attack: 16)
Thodek: (Attack: 13)
Shuushar: (Attack: 9)
All three nets fall short, and miss their targets despite Thodek being unconscious on the ground.
2 of the other Kuo toa jump down into the water, searching for Syvis (Perception: 21) But are unable to find the elf within the murky water.
It now goes to the NPCs!
Jimjar takes another shot with his hand crossbow at the monitor while Rian rushes up to the boat in an attempt to strike at one of the Kuo Toa, and Derendil takes two claw attacks at the Kuo Toa monitor.
Although the rest miss, both of Derendil’s claw attack sink deep into the monitors flesh (-13hp [Total: -58hp])
Other than that, only Shuushar takes an action to dash to stand between Stool and the boat.
The party is now up! (Nicholas, Syvis, Voyage and Thodek are all up!)
(Cailean uses his action to produce flame to attack the monitor (Attack: 8 Damage: 7) and his bonus action to cast healing word to heal Thodek 3 hp.) (You may now take an action.)
Finally, the ball of flame strike true and the monitor lets out one final scream of pain as it burns before turning silent (Dead).
There are now 7 regular Kuo Toa left (Check on map for positions as it is updated.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The death of the Kuo Toa monitor brings a bit of relief but seeing Thodek collapse shortly before just underlines how close they were cutting things. Pumping on adrenaline, Nicholas takes aim and fires two shots with his hand crossbow in quick succession.

Syvis shoots a bolt at the kua-toa to the south from underwater and attempts to conceal her movements as she swims around behind that same enemy (one space to the east).

Thodek pulls himself up out of the water and takes a gasping breath, nodding a thanks to whoever it was brought him back, he raises a glowing hand to his chest and restores some more of his vigor before retrieving his warhammer.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thodek is able to get up from a prone position and heals himself with cure wounds.
Syvis, Voyage, and Nicholas all strike true with their separate attack each injuring a different Kuo Toa. Nicholas (-15hp). Voyage (-9hp). Syvis (-7hp).
(I will indicate injured Kuo-Toa with a red mark on the token.)
The two hunting Syvis splash around in bewilderment, obviously unsure of where the elf is. Both thrash their spears through the water in the hopes of accidentally hitting something (disadvantage).
(Attack: 5 Damage: 3) (Attack: 5 Damage: 4)
Two or the Kuo Toa on the boat drop their nets, instead draw spears to attack Derendil.
(Attack: 7 Damage: 3) (Attack: 12 Damage: 3)
Another Kuo Toa returns fire against Rian who just missed it, while a second hops into the water also attacking Rian.
The final Kuo Toa will attempt to dash towards the retreating Shuushar, and Thodek may make an attack of opportunity as it passes near you.
Only one of all the Kuo-Toa attacks hits Derendil who gives a small wince at the pain of the stab wound (-5hp).
NPCs are up!
Jimjar peeks out from behind Cailean to take a shot at the approaching Kuo Toa. (Attack: 11 Damage: 15) Before ducking back behind the Druid (Stealth: 18)
Derendil attacks the Kuo Toa previously injured by Voyage with two claw strikes. (Attack: 21 Damage: 4) (Attack: 11 Damage: 5)
Rian takes a wide slash with his Longsword towards the Kuo Toa previously injured by Nicholas. (Attack: 18 Damage: 8)
Rian slices the Kuo Toa’s head clean off it’s shoulders, and it slowly falls before rolling with a *plop* into the water (Dead). One of Derendil’s claws makes contact, further injuring the Kuo Toa (-13hp), while Jimjar strikes the fast approaching Kuo Toa straight in the chest causing it to cry out it pain (-15hp).
The party is yet again up! Thodek, Voyage, Syvis, Cailean, and Nicholas may all now take round 3 actions. (Thodek, Voyage, and Nicholas remember that you have been blessed by Rian and can add a d4 to attack rolls)
(Map will be updated within the next 30 minutes to an hour)
Voyage will grin at the big quaggoth. Praise the Gods, but the battle was going better than they expected. The tiefling had been alone for so long, she had forgotten exactly how much she enjoyed having a crew to rely upon.
Shaking those thoughts off for the moment, she will blast the Kuo-Tua that both she and Derendil had already hit with an Eldritch Blast, hoping to finish it off.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Syvis continues holding her breath underwater, reloads, shoots again at the injured kuo-toa, and swims around it again trying to keep them guessing as to her location.
Crossbow Attack: 17 Damage: 13
Stealth: 10
EDIT: She's positioned herself to try and get partial cover from one enemy by hiding behind the other. But also super stealthed. 😊
Nicholas steps back a bit to take aim at the closest kuo-toa still standing. He then fires yet another bolt at their foes.

Unfortunately, Thodek seems to still be woozy from falling unconscious and both of his Warhammer strikes miss the Kuo Toa.
Nicholas uses his movement to trudge backwards through the water before finishing off the approaching Kuo Toa with a final crossbow bolt (Dead).
Syvis continues to duck and weave through the water, keeping the Kuo Toa guessing as to her location while also continuing to shoot one with her crossbow (-7hp [Total: -14hp]).
Voyage continues her partnered assault on on of the Kuo Toa with Derendil, her blast striking true, but the fish-humanoid still stays on its feet (-4hp [Total: -17hp])
Cailean casts produce flame for his action, aiming to help Voyage in taking down the injured Kuo Toa. (Attack: 5 Damage: 5) Unfortunately, the ball of flame flies wide and misses the Kuo Toa (Miss).
The two Kuo Toa attacking attacking Syvis continue to blindly thrash in the water attempting to hit Syvis with their spears.
(Attack: 12 Damage: 6) (Attack: 11 Damage: 7)
The one Kuo Toa engaged with Rian continues to attack him with his spear. (Attack: 16 Damage: 7)
The two Kuo Toa surrounding Derendil will work together to both attack him with their spears.
(Attack: 7 Damage: 7) (Attack: 21 Damage: 6)
One of the Kuo Toa (giving you half cover) blindly attacking Syvis are just able to nick your side as you move silently through the water (-6hp).
Rian blocks the spear with his shield while Derendil is able to block on spear before succumbing to the second strike (-6hp [Total: -11hp])
NPCs are up!
Derendil works to finish off one of the injured Kuo Toa taking two claw strikes against it.
(Attack: 10 Damage: 5) (Attack: 21 Damage: 6)
Jimjar moves next to Cailean, and shoots a crossbow bolt at the Kuo Toa engaged with Rian before using his bonus action to dash into the melee action. “Keep them safe will’ya,” he calls to Voyage with a smile and a wink.
(Attack: 24 Damage: 17)
Rian also continues his assault on the Kuo Toa, slashing it with his Longsword (Attack: 18 Damage: 11)
One of Derendil’s claws strike true which is enough to finally kill the Kuo Toa while both Jimjar and Rian’s attacks hit, also killing another Kuo Toa.
The party is yet again up! Syvis, Voyage, Thodek, and Nicholas may all now take their actions.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Syvis clutches the wound in her side and barely manages to keep the air in her lungs. Infuriated that these simple creatures could manage to hit her, she dramatically breaks the surface of the water, gasping for breath and drawing her shortsword, and swinging it at the injured kuo-toa.
Attack: 15 Damage: 10
Seeing the spray of blood, she takes another deep breath and dives back beneath the water, hiding under the boat.
Stealth: 15
(...and probably leave a trail of blood floating after her...)
Voyage will move in front of Shushaar and Stool and urge them to back away from the fray even more.
She will take aim at one of the Kuo-Tua engaged with Syvis, and will make a series of arcane gestures with two fingertips (which by now are second nature to her). Building up a beam of energy in her hands, she blasts at the Kuo-Tua with another Eldritch Blast.
