Stena sends an arrow wide, and her question of why the would light a torch is soon answered as the drow draws back their arm and hurls it towards the lower strand the party is standing on. Silk flares up and the torch drops through to the darkness below, flame licking along the strand as they feel it start to sag beneath them.
The last glimpse any of you had of the drow was a sinister grin as the torch left his reach.
"Forkin' not good, bruhs! Move, now!", Yuk Yuk calls out, running forward.

Stena, Lia, Plibbleburp, Thorum, and the as yet nameless halfling don't make the leap, Thorum missing badly and colliding with Plibbleburp mid leap and the pair of them plummet further, out of sight into the darkness.
Lia, Stena and the halfling manage to snag hold of a strand some ways down, and pull themselves aboard, the halfling by shear luck as when he speaks out, it becomes clear he couldn't even see what he was grasping at."Who's there? I hope you're not a spider. Or a drow."
He fumbles around in his pack and pulls out a knob of glowing fungus, heaving a sigh of relief when he sees Your faces faintly reflected back at him.
Looking up, the burning web consumes itself, for a moment silhouetting the others before the rest of the party is no longer visible.
Up above, Galingal, Neth, Kolose, Jimjar and the two goblin guides peer down into the web crossed darkness. Kolose and Jimjar are just able to make them out... or at least make out Stena, Lia and the halfling. Thorum and Plibbleburp are not with them. The goblins exchange a glance, before looking to the rest of you. "Spiderbait can make his way down, see if any of them managed to snag a line. Try to find a way to join up farther on, but all that light and fire and bouncing about will bring the weavers, best not to be here when it does."
"Totally."

Galingal moves forward with the surfing guides, still keeping an eye out for a potential trap.

"We need to return the favor."
Stena growls as she moves after the surfers.
"I feel like we'd have done better just staying quiet..!" Kolose says, and runs along.
"Totally left!", Spiderbait yells back.
"Up ahead, on the left, full send, no hesitation, bruhs!", agrees Yuk Yuk, pointing to a swath of silk below.
The goblins hurry along the strand, and as it buckles again, dive forward, rotating to land on their backs as they take the plunge.

Stena offer the halfling her most reassuring,
"Shut up and put that away. Yer going to draw everything that can see to us."
She adjusts her gaze up and waves to the spot she saw the rest of the party.
He whimpers a bit, but complies, muttering under his breath.

Galingal looks at the goblins and nods.
”Get them moving and join further along.”
He then starts moving in the way the goblins suggest.

Stena feels the silk under her thrum, as if it had just been plucked. She is reasonable sure that it came from that direction.
