As you guys are discussing a plan, and looking through the backpacks..
12, 14, 18, 14
Anyone who has a Passive Perception or makes a perception roll above these numbers gets a very sinking feeling something invisible is sneaking up behind you all.
Gnomon is also currently invisible, but has a PP of 17, so her spider senses are definitely tingling. She’ll retreat further into the shadows to await the inevitable bad thing that is about to happen, waiting to spring into action.
The construct slowly warms up its gears, dispassionately staring around the cavern. With a passive perception of nine, the only thing it notices is Tor apparently noticing something it did not. The mechanical hands begin etching clockwork symbols in the air in preparation of a possible hostile encounter.
Those of you who satisfy the condition above and notice our new friends, please roll for initiative for our surprise round. My clockwork friend, you are detecting magic. Like an old school toaster oven, something inside you goes P'TING!when it's in range. Something is magically invisible!
Chronolo calmly swivels to the invisible probable aggressors. This toaster pops out Eldritch Blasts. Not quite as nice as toasted bagels, but they’ll certainly warm you up.
As Diesa draws her twin swords, a dim aura begins to appear around her head as more and more luminescent motes seemingly begin sprout and flit around from her head!
Diesa Initiative: 10
(She has a PP of 22, not sure that would allow her one action before things get started.)
Caim grimaces as he is standing way too close to that screeching fiend (DC Save: 12). "Oh, shut up, you!" he screams back at the quasit, raising his hand and letting a guiding bolt it's way. "I've enough voices screaming in my head thank you very much."
STEP THREE: TOAST ON HIGH FOR ONE MINUTE Gnomenogodno25, Quasit2(22)(AC13/HP7), Caim21,Drow1(20)(AC12/HP5),Tor20, Alexa16, Quasit1(14)(AC13/HP7), Chronolo12, Diesa10
Caim shrugs. “So we look for them then? The dwarf seems keen for a meeting.”

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Tor has a bad feeling about this:
”something’s afoot!”

Caim looks around at Tor’s warning, (passive perception 20), he nods, grabbing his holy symbol and uttering a few quick words.

Alexa touches her holy symbol, murmuring a prayer to Ilmater as she hears the scuffing.

"Ha! They fell for it!" one of the Drow admits, then, realizing you're powerful adventurers, mutters, "Ah, shitsacks!"
One of the Quasit moans, loudly. "Oh this is just GREAT!!"
Completely invisible and hidden deep in the shadows, Gnomon stealthily draws her bow back and rapidly flings two arrows at Drow1:
Followed by two more arrows, but this time at Drow2:
Without making a peep, she then spends her bonus action attempting to hide back into the shadows (Stealth: 22) after slinging her deadly arrows.

Caim grimaces as he is standing way too close to that screeching fiend (DC Save: 12). "Oh, shut up, you!" he screams back at the quasit, raising his hand and letting a guiding bolt it's way. "I've enough voices screaming in my head thank you very much."
