[quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity]
That I understand but is Brannor permitted to choose what he is escaping, [@Hekazu]? For example, choosing to break the restraining effect imposed by the kobolds without attempting to break the holding creature? He has not real quarrel with the monster they are speaking with. Is it random? Is it a choice? Does it go from the most recent effect working back to the oldest?

I'll say that it is a choice. Mind that the creature's grappling does impose disadvantage upon Strength based escapes, and the glue bombs aren't exactly something one would dance their way out of, sadly.
