((Also, if Joe is attacking using cantrips, let's have her use Eldritch Blast instead of Fire Bolt? She's more charismatic than smart, has another +1 to her EB attack rolls, and if she still has bless up, increases her chances of at least something hitting. But think the guaranteed damage from MM is a good move here?))

Jaq will move up his normal movement and then shoot another arrow.

Longbow attack: 16

Bless: 3

Damage: 10

After taking the shot he will use cunning action to move south a few feet into the corridor that heads south, to keep him out of drider's arrows path.  And also peer down the south hall to make certain no foes are waiting there.

As Kroshav runs up and lights up Sword, Jaq moves forward and sinks an arrow into thick spider bits. A thin dribble of green ichor leaks to the floor.

Jaq doesn't spot anything coming from the south tunnel, nor does he hear anything coming.

Initiative:

Kroshav (Prot. poison, Blessed) 
Lurn/Mikram (Blessed) (2X Concentration checks!) <----
Joe (Blessed) <----
Cladmir (Blessed) <----
Jaq (Blessed, Prot. poison) 
Drow

((MM for the win, got it! You just inflicted it upon poor, poor BB :P))

((Be glad they didn't upcast it to 3rd level vs him!))

((That'd been a dead BB!))

Conc1: 19
Conc2: 24

((Never making me drop Bless. XD)

Lurn moves his 30' after the drider again, pressing his hand to his chest and using Cure Wounds (Level 2) again as he does.  "My god will embrace me when the time comes.  Let us see if He allows you to send me to him."

14

(Lurn can keep tanking these hits a bit longer, but he's only got one spell slot left of each level after this cure, so catching up soon would be nice. XD)

(( I'm going to assume that with all the light sources our enemy should now be visible. ))

Cladmir would move as far as possible into the hallway, but seeing that the battle has moved away from him he's going to pull out the crossbow and shoot this abomination and pray that whatever poison these creatures use will bite back at its makers. 

Range attack:  22

Bless:  2

Damage: 8

((The drider is just in long range of the hand crossbow so it would be with disadvantage.

15))

Wisdom save: 5

Joe fires off a top level magic missile for 13, all which strike.

((Con sav on the drow poison! 21))

As the mighty firbolg weathers all attacks the drider casts a glance over its shoulder, blood flowing from its ears and the arrows and darts sticking out of its body. It responds to Lurn with a snear as it backs away into the darkness again,

"Then let's not keep him waiting."

As the now three expected arrows come flying at Lurn he is startled by a fourth. Even more startling is the large spider that appears from the darkness the drider just disappeared into. It rears back to attack but doesn't manage this turn.

Drider attacks:

Attack: 10 Damage: 13

Attack: 7 Damage: 6

Attack: 26 Damage: 27

Drow attack:

Attack: 10 Damage: 7

((Well that is one way to get around the concentration checks for bless! The drow attack shifts to Kroshav but it would be at long range so: 14))

Kroshav, Cladmir and Joe watch as Lurn drops, a giant spider looming over his body. An arrow skids to the ground in front of Kroshav but he barely notices. Mikram pulls himself loose from under Lurn and props himself up to swing awkwardly up at the spider. He yells in dwarven,

"Ye get this one over meh dead body."

Attack: 19 Damage: 8

Initiative:

Kroshav (Prot. poison, Blessed) 
Lurn/Mikram <----
Joe <----
Cladmir (Blessed) <----
Jaq (Prot. poison) 
Drow

((I also moved the spiritual weapon forward because you said you wanted to do that @Hound?))

Map: ((only Jaq can see the drider currently, he can also see a single drow 15' behind the drider.))

(Aye, I'd be bringing the spiritual weapon along, though it wasn't really worth the thought since it would've just kept dragging behind more and more the further we went.)

(Oh, should I be making death saves here?  Probably should, considering I don't think ranged weapons can be nonlethal attacks, yeah?  I'm gonna...  Screw it, I'm gonna keep those secret so only Rodgeir knows.)

Seeing Lurn drop brings to Cladmir's mind the many memory in the battlefield when one of his comrades fall, and his experience as a line soldier once again kicked in.  Never one to lead he will instead attempt to support Kroshav the best he could, whether it be to to rush up to help carry Lurn, engage and distract the spider, or try to drag Turn by himself while Kroshav provides the distraction. 

((Oh, I see I messed up the initiative list up there...))

Initiative:

Kroshav (Prot. poison, Blessed)<----
Lurn/Mikram
Joe <----
Cladmir (Blessed) <----
Jaq (Prot. poison)<---- 
Drow

Kroshav runs forward and hacks at the big spider looming over Lurn.

Attack: 16 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Attack: 18 Damage: 8

((Bright to 20, dim to 40 for Joe's visibility purposes.))

Kroshav deftly bisects the spider near Lurn and Mikram with a glowing Sword, who for her part is thrilled.

Mikram says something that Kroshav doesn't get and nudges Lurn to emphasize the point then points to the east. He waits, looking expectantly at the dragonborn.

((Presuming you want to wait with the fog cloud until after you've all taken your actions?))

Initiative:

Kroshav (Prot. poison, Blessed)
Lurn/Mikram
Joe <----
Cladmir (Blessed) <----
Jaq (Prot. poison)<---- 
Drow

Jaq moves back up into the main fighting hallway and takes another shot at the fleeing drider.  

Longbow: 15

Damage: 13

He waits for a moment to see where he is going to move to.  If the fog cloud goes off, he will move up to where Lurn is, to help move him or carry any of his gear, as needed.  If the fog does not go off, he moves back to other hall, just out of sight, once again.

Seeing the spider taken care of so quickly, "Dang Kroshav, Amazing!" he says rather loudly.
