Lightning arcs and jumps, flashes and sparks as it leaps between Gohmas. Two are killed instantly, and many, many more are struck by the arcing power that Rum has spewed. The rest shriek and scream as they disappear back into the darkness and hide.
Sorry treks across the room and tilts her head as the Gohmas flee. She looses two shots. One misses, but one hits, sending one spider squealing into the darkness.
The Queen can be heard making some sort of wet, crunching noise in her hidden recess...
Greko moves up 30 feet and feels Lelith's painful yell, from moments ago, as if he has been bitten and clawed at by the spiders. He raises his hands above his head twirling his walking stick and speaks in Druidic. He casts Healing Word (+7) on Lelith. As this occurs he shines brightly as the chalices glow. His chalices send extra healing to Lelith +10
Lelith glared with pure hate in her eyes at the Gohma Queen. Her mark was on her prey. The elf from a realm beyond will hunt her to the edge of the world, it could run but it could not hide from her. She was a force that the Queen could not outrun, like a hateful blackened storm on the horizon, it will catch up no matter what. She had her within her sight and darkness will overtake her cursed soul. "Remember this day as your last, Queen of the Gohma, the day the Twilight Embers ended your scourge upon this world! We will not stand aside, cower, or hide while we let evil like you roam free! "
Ro looks to Rum, "I'm sending you in, friend. Bring the pain!"
The elf-dwarf casts Vortex Warp, teleporting rum 15 ft behind the Gohma Queen (preferably in a spot with less squidgy gohma spiderlings).
In an attempt to distract the Gohma Queen from Rum's arrival, Ro shouts to the queen, "Hey madam, up yours!" The wizard had made many gestures in the past for his spellcasting, but this time he simply lifted a single finger.
(Dunno if it's needed, but Ro rolled a performance check of 3 for berating the Queen).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Oten continues to run forward (30 ft) and hoists his javelin. He hurls it in the direction of the wet crunching produced by the queen, spins as he catches its return, and keeps his forward momentum as he finishes his spin with another throw.
Lelith's arrows make noises as they strike their target with deadly accuracy. Nothing seems to happen as Ro taunts the Queen in her lair, either because she's busy or because she's in pain. A screech fills the cavern.
Kora lands on Lelith's shoulder and grabs ahold of her, holding on tight.
"Listen..." The little Fairy whispers. "They're talking...they're all going to their Queen..."
Rum is not exactly sure what Ro means by, he is sending him in, but understanding soon follows as the area around him seems to contract in on itself. He sees it swirling, and then just as soon as the effect starts it stops. Only now he is looking at the Queen from behind.
He can see she is trying to hide against the wall, and she seems to be feeding on some cocoons of some kind. She is draining them as he watches.
“Surprise, I see you! Can’t let you heal, Ma’am”, he calls over to the Queen as he once again arches his back and spews forth a cone of lightning energy over the Queen, the cocoons and some smaller spider creatures that are retreating to her position.
He then looks around the cavern, sensing as much as seeing, that there are more spider creatures about. But his job is clear, to bring the pain to the Queen.
The tattoo on his arm flashes a bright red as he brings the heal of his right hand flashing forward. The tattoo springs from his palm, covering the distance between him and her, the contact point bursting into flame.
He reaches into his newly refilled well of Ki and tries to disrupt the Queen’s own Ki as he had done before, attempting to stun her once again. His efforts are successful!
Still dipping into hi Ki, he moves like the lightning he just exhaled. Each paw striking forward in turn, his tattoo reaching forward to take those strikes across the 15 foot distance towards the Queen. Fire flashing where he hits the defenceless Queen.
"She is trying to heal! I managed to stun her again though", he shouts to the others.

Lightning Breath arced across the interior of the alcove, crackling between five of the smaller Gohmas and the Queen. Two of the small ones collapsed into smoldering piles. The strike stunned the Gohma Queen, rattling her enough that the next two hits connected with no problem...including one that broke through one of the huge, bulbous eyes.
The Queen shrieked...and then slumped to the floor...green ichor leaking out into the fog and the roots...
The cavern was suddenly alive with the worker Gohmas leaping from the darkness, snapping fangs at Rum, throwing webbing. Spiders leap from all directions, throw webbing that misses...and finally one sinks its fangs into Rum's leg.
Sorry moves forward as quick as she can and sinks and arrow into one of the Gohma's entering the alcove, but doesn't kill it.
Gohma's emerge from the dark all around Rum, leaping, snapping, and jumping. He gets bitten two more times...

Greko moves up closer to the Lelith still shining brightly. He hears Rum yell from inside the little alcove and quickly bangs his walking stick on the ground and then waves it side to side as he chants in Druidic.
"My fey friends Greko and his friends need your help. Support him as he has supported you and continue our bond. Send me aid in the form of soldiers to fight against this blight and save the Deku tree, a tree who protects nature and fey of the wood."
Suddenly 2 Fey Dire Wolves materialize out of Deku Tree as if they'd been there all along. They look back at Greko who gives them a command in Sylvan to attack the spiders. They each turn and snarl towards the spiders ready to attack.
Tuto's flourish nails one of the Guard Gohmas right before a small Gohma drops from the ceiling right onto Rum. Fangs sink into his neck as it creates a terrible wound. Poison oozes from the bite immediately. It looks really bad.

The euphoria of seeing the apparent demise of the Queen is short lived, as Rum is swarmed by spider after spider after spider. They appear from all angles, dropping from the ceiling and skittering across the floor alike. He tries to dodge their attacks, aided by the magic of his cloak, but it is too much for him and once one gets through his defences more strikes follow.
The combination of the sharp teeth and venomous poison overwhelm him and he yowls in pain like only a cat can. With the last of his energy, he reaches out with his mind trying to push one of the spiders away with his draconic gift, and then everything turns to black as he falls to the ground.
Reaction: Gift of the Gem Dragon: Damage: 6 and pushed back 10ft, DC16 Str Save for 3 damage and not pushed back
The small spider that drops from the ceiling moments later finds a defenceless, inert Tabaxi. It's fangs slip easily into the neck of his prone form and pump yet more vile venom into his system.
Holding on for the moment to the merest thread of life force, Rum teeters on the brink of death....

"Rumble, hold on!" Lelith yelled out, she glanced at Kora who had settled on her shoulder for some time now. She quietly whispered to her in Sylvan some instructions while she flew toward Rumble. It didn't take them long for the two Fey to reach him, Lelith petted his head to make contact and the two immediately dumped on him as much healing magic as they could manage.
Ro moved forward as quickly and as far as he could, holding his hands out as he went, muttering something to himself as he approached the rest of the group as well as the recess where the Queen had hidden. Getting in as far as he can, he casts Wither and Bloom. Many of the Gohmas begin to act like they're sick, and one curls up and dies as even more healing power washes over Rum.

The first throw of the javelin strikes one of the bigger Gohmas, killing it instantly. It curls up and rolls down through the strange, curling roots of the Deku Tree, disappearing into the fog.
A Gohma leaps out of the dark and tries to take down Oten, but its fangs glance off his armor.
Kora lands on Rum and a faint blue glow radiates into this body. He feels even better. She flutters back up to Lelith's shoulder.

Rum comes to consciousness with a warm feeling spreading across his body. The pain he had been feeling inside and out slowly but surely dissipating, although the nausea remained.
He opens his eyes expecting to bask in the glory of the Great Dragon, sure in the thought that he had passed over to the afterlife.
But he winces in pain as he lifts his head, eyes opening to see only darkness. Then the tiny shape of Kora comes into focus, fluttering away. He follows the sight and sees Lelith, standing protectively over him.
I'm not dead! The thought tumbled around his mind. I am alive! Although it didn't feel like it.
And if he was alive, he must still be in the lair of the spider Queen.
His ears twitch and move as they pick out the sound of spider chittering. His fight was not over. He needed to get up.
His claws scratch the ragged surface of the floor as he gains the purchase needed to push himself up to a crouch, his stomach heaving as he does so. He moves from there to a standing position, his limbs feeling like lead weights.
Looking around his keen eyes take in the scene of the continuing battle. His friends had rushed in to his aid, bringing him back from the brink of death.
"Ok, I can do this", he says under his breath. His head swimming, he takes a deep breath in and assumes a fighting stance.
"I should have known you wouldn't let me quit before the job is finished, fellow Embers. My thanks", he says as loudly as he can, his voice cracking slightly and lacking it's former lustre.
Instinct takes over now, his paw whipping out first one way, then the next and back to the first. His strikes are not as quick as usual, but his tattoo still flares and his strikes still flash with fire. He tries his best to clear a path for himself and the others to move away and regroup.
He slowly backs out the smaller cave, making sure to keep pace with Lelith and Kora so no-one is left exposed.

Rum's swings begin busting up the chitinous exoskeletons of the Gohmas. Two are killed, and a third takes massive damage before skittering back away from him. The Dire Wolves rush in under Greko's commnand, and one shakes an injured Gohma to death like a ragdoll before its partner snaps at another fleeing spider without being able to get ahold of it.
A Gohma rears back and sprays Sorry with webbing, encasing her and bringing her down. One of the Guard Gohmas goes after Rum with gnashing fangs but is unable to sink them in. Another slashes its claws at Greko and misses. Fangs clang off Ro's armor but find no purchase.
One drops from the ceiling and grabs Kora in its fangs. She screams as she is pulled off of Lelith and into the roots and dark below.
"Kora!" Sorry screams as she struggles against the webbing entangling her. She's unable to break free from her restraints.
Another set of fangs fails to make it through Ro's armor.
Kora is still screaming in the dark as a second Gohma rushes in, trying to pick her from it's brethrens fangs, intent on getting its belly full... Her screaming doesn't stop until a third gets involved and three Gohmas are trying to eat her at once...
One of the big Guard Gohmas goes up the wall and leaps for Lelith, flashing its fangs as it dives toward her. It flies past her, missing...

He then sees Rum holding on exhausted from the barrage of attacks on them and the number of punches and kicks he's thrown. Greko sends a cool, refreshing breeze that rushes over Rum
