As soon as Ariana finds what is inside of the pouch, she takes out one of the two gems and gives it to Ruby, whispering, "Ruby! I found some gems! There aren't enough for everyone, but here, have one." She tosses a 10gp cut blue quartz to Ruby.
Ariana then follows Ruby out of the room and back to the others because of all the noise and chaos. She readies her quarterstaff and is prepared for danger.
Wake realizes that his haste has brought this upon his friends.
”Protect them.”
The comforting voice of Selune commands him.
Without further guidance, it is up to Wake to decide how to do this.
He grips his shield tighter and begins aggravating the swarm over the door (free action) to draw their attention to himself rather than towards his friends. He then begins doing the “get them off me” interpretive dance of Dodge.
Ariana hears the various shouts and surmises that her new friends are afraid of spiders. She rushes past Daveth, Ruby, and Elwyn to get into the room. Seeing that these aren't just a few spiders, her heart leaps and she understands her friends' alarm. She smashes her quarterstaff into the northern swarm and uses the same momentum to smash her foot into the swarm.

Ruby, torn between running and fighting decides to fight, getting some courage back after seeing Ariana smash some of the spiders with her staff. Her hair starts standing up as she moves closer ad tries to attack the nearby swarm.
All - Wake begins to dance the dance of his people as Ariana bashes one of the swarms of spiders with her staff. Spider guts and legs cling to it as she draws it back and stomps with her foot. Her foot slams into the swarm with a disgusting SQUISH.
All - Ruby pushes past Elwyn to stand next to Ariana as she draws her short sword. She takes a swipe at the pile of spiders and manages to cleave a few in half despite the awkwardness of of trying to attack around the door frame.
The Swarm of Spiders at D9 will have half-cover against any attacks from outside the room (squares C8 and C10) that aren't directly in front of it (square C9).
Since Elwyn has switched places with both Ariana and Ruby this round, I will say that this uses his Reaction for the Round.
Kulogall says "Fine! Let's blast them then!" Knowing that fire might work well for the swarm, he casts create bonfire at the swarm at D9, in that square.
Dex save DC 13 or take 6 points of fire damage. "Go around them if you need to. Or we can go down the hall to fight!"

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
All - The spiders flee as the fire sputters and sparks, the damp moldy wood not providing the best fuel. They manage to scurry out of the way by the time the bonfire comes to life with a WHUMP. The other swarm pours around Wake, climbing over his feet and up his lower legs. The fail to find an entry point in his armor before being flung off as he gesticulates wildly.

After being pushed out of the way by the girls Elwyn moves back to the open door looking inside. "Are you doing okay there Wake?" He shouts, a bit worried over his friend being swarmed by poisonous spiders. Elwyn then will into existance a spectral tentacle that thrashes at the closest spider swarm. Then he whips out his tentacle shaped wand and sends a blue blast of eldritch force blasting the swarm into oblivion.
Movement: C7 to C9 Bonus action: Tentacle of the deep into F10 attacking swarm in D9 Attack: 11 Cold: 1 Action: Eldritch blast: 13 Force: 7 + crit damage: 8 Movement: back to C7
All - A thrashing tentacle erupts into existence, spraying ice cold sea water and smashing a large portion of the spiders that are fleeing the bonfire. A crackling orb of eldritch energy lances forth from the strangely shaped wand in Elwyn's hand. It smashes into the remaining spiders and leaves a slimy smear of spider guts that quickly bubble and scorch from the bonfire's heat.
Spider Swarm 2 is DEAD.
Daveth will remain in the hallway and keep a look out for any other threats.

Seeing the magic blast finish off her target, Ariana moves away from the door with a jump, using her momentum to smash the remaining spider swarm with her quarterstaff. She then stamps her foot on the swarm.
Sorry everyone.
