Square = 5ft movement. The Queen ant and Giant ant A and C are restrained by webs so far. Giant ant B successfully escaped the web. Giant ant D moved to engage Guards C and D. Piotr damaged the Queen and Dervish missed the queen. The white circle is webbing its anchored to the log and trees. The wagon's won't get far and likely won't move before combat is over. Piotr and Pax both know Guard C is the cultist who thinks Piotr is the one that fought the Half Dragon at Greenest.

Ven moved up 30ft to help Steeldog take out Giant ant A. It's hurting but still has fight if it wasn't restrained. Disadvantage on attacks.
Only change on Map was Ven move up just to the left of Steeldog.
After Spencer goes it's all the guards and the Queen Ant.
