Spider, ashamed of it's clumsiness, crawled back to the ceiling.
Perception: 20

Using the sensitive pads on its legs Spider-Lindale was able to detect air movement someway up ahead that seemed to indicate something or someone was responding to the noise made, her many eyes picked out no more traps in the immediate vicinity.
Rufus rises gracefully from his roll. He turns back anxiously to see if his less dexterous companions were able to get clear of the trap as well. He marvels at Banzo supporting the weight of the rock on his shell as the descending rock pushes him forward instead of squashing him flat. Once everyone is clear, Rufus moves to check on the others. He starts to inquire; but is struck by a fit of coughing due to the dust and debris kicked up.
"Well, we can't back out now," Hatch said with barely a hint of moaning.
Brocc waves dust away as he holds onto the spider under him. He pats it affectionately as he considers how likely he would have been hit by some of those falling rocks wihtout the spider’s quick reflexes. Adjusting his lance he keeps an eye out as the others dust themselves off and regroup.
Speder-Lindale returned to the group, tapped the front lag at the wall to attract attention and tried to write on the ground word "danger", periodically pointing ahead. When someone figured out what she was trying to tell, she returned on the wall and continued her move ahead.
(Do you want me to roll for active perception every time Lindale noticed something?)

(( No, that roll will stand for a while))
As Lindale crawls ahead she sees two figures creeping along the walls towards the group, each is a vitriolic, pustule-ridden thing resembling a tall, thin humanoid frog around two metres in height, with clawed hands and a wide toothy mouth. Their skin is yellowish-green, and inflamed pink boils cover their bodies, steaming and hissing with acidic vapour. Their great eyes are a mess of gold and black veins that writhe hypnotically.....
They will be upon the group in seconds.
OOC:
Acid Demons Initiative:- 11.
Initiative and actions please.
Rufus' Initiative: 11
Rufus casts Mage Armor in anticipation of something coming to check on the commotion of the rock trap.
Lindale Initiative: 7
Spider hurried back (again!) and tapped the leg twice, in hope others will understand that it means number (to be absolutely sure - raised two legs, shacked and pointed at the tunnel), then she returned on the ceiling, for now waiting for the demons there.
When demon comes, she will try to jump it: Attack: 13 Damage: 5 piercing damage (if not immune, DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 8 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one).

Brocc initiative: 4
He has his spider mount rush forward at the first of the creatures, driving his lance into the thing while still ten feet away, then he has the spider turn and move back to the group.
Brocc actions...
Movement: none.
Action: attack with lance.
Attack: 12 Damage: 12
Spider mount's actions...
Move to 10 feet from closest creature.
Action: Dash back to group.
If one of the creatures targets Brocc with an attack the mount will use its reaction to give disadvantage on the attack.
Seeing Brocc engaged with one of the shuffling creatures, Rufus grabs a diamond pendant about his neck as he prepares to cast Chromatic Orb at the one Brocc struck, furthermore Rufus manipulates the very weave to split his spell in two to strike each of the figures.
A unnatural wind swirls about Rufus blowing about his braided hair and interwoven charms, his blue eyes darken even more and appear to almost display small sparks of lightning, as if they were storm clouds. The immediate area around him is charged with energy and the scent of rain permeates the vicinity as well. Rufus' diminutive body is borne into the air by the force of the fey wind and carries him to the rear of the party.
Action: Rufus casts Chromatic Orb and spends 1 Sorcery Point to Twin it, targeting both figures.
Attack 1: 18, Damage: 18 Thunder Damage
Attack 2: 23, Damage: 13 Thunder Damage
Intiative 13
Hatch will attack with his battle-axe two handed.
Attack: 24
Damage: 5
Initiative:
Lindale>Banzo>Rufus>Acid Demons>Hatch>Brocc
Lindale leapt onto the nearest of the closing creatures and sank her fangs into its acrid flesh, it burbled at her in anger and though it was hurt the poison did not seem to have much effect. Her fangs were slightly singed by the vapours that curled off its body.
At the rear of the group Banzo could not make much out so he caused one of his daggers to glow with light to allow all to see.
Rufus' spell slammed into the two fiends flattening them against the tunnel walls, their unatural forms recovered somewhat but he could tell they had been sorely wounded...
One of the demons turned towards Rufus and glared at him with hate, its golden-black veined eyes working upon his soul. ( Wisdom Save 14. Or under the effects of Hold Person.)
The other raked at the spider ( Lindale) that had bitten it with vicious acidic claws. ( Attack: 12 Damage: 7 Acid Damage: 7
Brocc attacked with the construct even as Hatch lay into the nearest demon with his axe both attacks hit solidly but seemed to little trouble the fiends.
* Mortal Kombat Voice*
Round 2.
Fight!
Rufus Wisdom Save: 10
Rufus is struck by the baleful evil eye of the fell demon he struck with his twinned Chromatic Orb. He feels his limbs seize in the grip of magical chains and they cease to obey his commands. His eyes dart about fearfully before he collapses onto the floor.
Not sure if it matters, but Brocc’s was magical in nature, his Lance is infused with his enhanced weapon, so is considered magical.
Will get a post up in a bit for 2nd round...
There are many beasts that can handle the poison, a pity, those monsters could too, but nothing new. The claws were deadly, though, and Lindale run back to the ceiling and behind the frontline - behind everyone else (risking Attack of Opportunity but in a way to get it only from one demon).
From there, Bonus Action - drop the shape, Action Faerie Fire hopefully covering both demons (Dex save 13)

Brocc again rushes in to strike at the same demon... Performing the same tactics as last time.
Brocc actions...
Movement: none.
Action: attack with lance.
Attack: 17 Damage: 6
Spider mount's actions...
Move to 10 feet from closest creature.
Action: Dash back to group.
If one of the creatures targets Brocc with an attack the mount will use its reaction to give disadvantage on the attack.
Hatch continues to hack at his adversary, the paladin somewhat single-minded against demonic foes in particular.
Attack: 18
Damage: 4
(I don't know how you want to handle it, but I completely forgot my new magic axe grants a +1 to attack and damage on my rolls last round. Remember it now though)
Initiative:
Lindale>Banzo>Rufus>Acid Demons>Hatch>Brocc
Lindale retreated, tracing both demons with light even as Banzos mystic darts hammered into them. The two Demons hissed and gibbered as they both spat gobs of acid at Hatch.
Even before the gobbets landed Hatch and Brocc cut down both fiends, the weird frog-like bodies breaking down into acidic slime and eating into the stone as they dissolved...
Rufus came out of his strange fugue after some moments.
OOC:
Hatch: Reflexes Save diff 13 of 2d6 Acid Damage.
Combat is over.
