((Unfortunately advantage on attack, but I see the general idea you are going for with the sucker punch and thus I'm going to give you that free attack and a +2 on your initiative roll due to the unique way you described Gwen's method of attack and the fact that Kavra was distracted by the sea-elf's curvaceous form.
I fear this might lead to unintended abuse in the future since what "is" and "isn't" considered a sucker punch will be mechanically difficult to determine. Thus, in the future, I'm going to rule based on the following criteria for enemies:
1) Aware of players/NPC's general positions
2.) Are in combat/Are expecting combat/reasonably suspect that harm might come to them.
Then initiative will be rolled normally with appropriate DEX modifiers, the results of the rolls reflecting how quick the aggressor attacks vs how fast the recipient is to respond.))
"Wh--" Kavra's eyes widen as she notices the silver of the dagger about to be thrown and she tries duck out of the way. BThe first knife manages to make its mark, nicking her right in the arm, but she barely manages to duck the second! [Kavra takes 6 piercing damage! Kavra rolls 8 initiative! (1d20+2 = 8)]
[Roll Initiative with a +2 bonus on top of your DEX mod.]
Kriv & Rona
As Kriv goes over to free the dryad from her restraints, the human eyes the dark red ram tattoo emblazoned upon his chest and there's a small look of shame upon her face, "M-My apologies. I didn't mean to offend a man of the Gauntlet. It's a blessing -- that even out here Hades watches over us with his warriors." She turns to address the Rodezan. "I have family in Shardsbury, though as things stand now, I'm afraid I might not make the journey back."
The chains are easily torn from the wall thanks to Kriv's immense brute strength, causing Lisadra to fall to her feet and rub her aching wrists. She looks up at him with a smile, a glint of hope showing in those emerald eyes of hers once more, "Thank you all. Now it's our turn to hold to our promise." She wobbles slightly, a trace of cum leaking down her thigh. Xali hops off of Kriv then goes to help keep her up right.
As the goblin places a hand on the dryad's leg, the dragonborn can hear prayers coming from her in her native tongue, one of the charms hanging around her neck glowing with orange energy that is released through her hand, causing Lisadra to stand more upright.
One of the sprites flies out of the burrow entrance then returns shortly afterward to Kriv and Rona with a grave look on his face. "We need to act soon. The savages are already closing in on your friends out there! The wagons are in the way -- but I saw a woman fighting to fend one of them off!"
"And she won't fight alone. Little do they know, we'll be the ones closing in on them." Shimmering green energy begins manifest in her hands as she speaks. "O' Faris, grant us shadow. May our steps be swift and silent like the nargacuga as we carry out the judgement of the wood." The green energy expands 30ft around her, immersing Kriv, Rona, Xali and the sprites in a veil of shadows.
Xali looks up at Kriv while reaching for the handaxe on his belt, a look of determination clear on her face. "Whatever fight you have with them or your brother -- it's my fight, too."
[Lisadra casts "Pass Without Trace". So long as she maintains concentration, you have a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks for up to 1 hour and can't be tracked except by magical means. You also leave behind no tracks or traces of your passage.]
