@Beegred: Do you let Skameros grapple you, seeing as you've been webbed and something is trying to pull you?
Since he is grappled by the web and Skameros rolled an 18, let's go with it.
Now that there is a direct thread in the direction of CF, can Beegred can point out to the others (as a free action) whatever is attacking us from hiding?

You definitely know the direction and can point your allies to go that way. Next round, if everyone is closer, I will reveal the creature on the map.
Edit: It's difficult to see because it is translucent, but now that it is stuck to you and pulling, you can see the filament and attacking it is an option.
Yes, you are free. I will edit my post as I was thinking of the filament connecting Beegred and Jimjar. But it makes much more sense Rodolfo was going after the one grappling you.
So Beegred is now in melee range of the creature, right? Grappled, but not Restrained?
Two weapon swings (regular with magic, bonus action with normal).
Dominant hand Attack: 14 Damage: 7
Off-hand Attack: 16 Damage: 2
That's complicated for me. I have to deduce what weapon you're using in your 'dominant hand' and which one is in the other hand. In some scenarios, it will matter if you are using a mundane weapon or a magical weapon, or slashing vs. piercing. So for me it would be MUCH simpler if you just annotated your attacks with:
Main hand Short Sword Attack: Off hand Scimitar Attack:
If you want to also point out the short sword is magical, even better for me. But with the above, I can remember or figure it out easily instead of reverse engineering via attack bonus.

Dominant hand = main hand. I'll edit the post to reflect that, and make the adjustment from now on.
I have a player who keeps adding their DEX modifier to the damage from a bonus action attack. I wanted to verify that this 2nd attack is a bonus action.

You don't have to clarify the main hand attack for that purpose, only the bonus attack. But it would still be nice for me to know what weapon is being used for what attack.
It will matter. My offline group is struggling with the importance of this, so I'm asking all of you now.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Not much I can do when the creature d20 attack rolls are 19, 20, and 18. I wouldn't mind getting those numbers!
Yeah, Beegred had 21 hit points, and the last two attacks were 23 points. Death save roll #1: 18

Can Skameros by way of the grappled Beegred connected to the creature - get in to a tug o war? maybe pull it down from wherever its hiding?

Absolutely, but you'll be considered grappled as you stick your hands to the filament.
Oh I wasn't going to grab the filament - I thought Beegred was stuck to it? I was just gonna pull Beegred since I already have him grappled
or not - if Jimjar cuts it hehe

Oh, that's perfect. I'll figure out what kind of check Beegred has to make. :)
Does she move closer, or stay where she is?
Um she'll move to like closer to Beegred (P9 maybe?) But stay like 10-15 feet from him

Do we all see the creature now or just Narstin?

Assume Narstin points it out.
Am I still grappled by the filament (said one magic missile hit it, but didn't say it broke or anything, so assuming I am, but worth double checking)
Yes, you are free. I will edit my post as I was thinking of the filament connecting Beegred and Jimjar. But it makes much more sense Rodolfo was going after the one grappling you.
Going to play Narstin and have him Sacred Flame.
Which way is 'forward'? Towards the creature? Away from Derendil?

Sorry for my absence, been sick the last couple days.
Hope you feel better. I'm due... my young kids keep bringing colds home from daycare.
