Once Khessa helps get her free from the website she was stuck to, Katryl comes over to help check out the chest.
(Not sure on rules - if Xanathar's Tool Proficiency rule is allowed, I'll make an Investigation for taps with Advantage. If not, can Katryl HELP Silas on his roll?)
(Investigation, if needed: 19)
If any taps are present, she will try to disarm it. (DEX Check w/Thieves' Tools: 16)
If no traps are found, or if it is dissrmed, she will try to open the chest. If locked, she will pick the lock. (DEX Check w/Thieves' Tools: 18)
As you all pull the chest out of the webs and bring it closer to you, it is almost too late to realize that this chest doesn't feel like a chest, but something living. A moment later a grinning monster appears in its place as it reveals itself to be amimicand latches onto Khessa! (grappled)
Go ahead and roll initiative and post your actions!

"Look out!"The noble drow calls out as the aberration suddenly reveals it's true nature and assails the blonde warrior mage. He swiftly curses the creature before unleashing a beam of purple crackling eldritch force against it.
Coming up by his master, Sarith swiftly draws and fires his hand crossbow at the abomination.
Sarith initiative: 14 Hand crossbow: 15 Piercing: 7 (DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also unconscious while poisoned in this way.)

Since Khessa's Unseen Servant has bound the mimic to allow us to pull it, is the mimic also restrained or something? And the rope is still binding it, isn't it? Or we removed the rope, before realizing that it was a mimic?
Suddenly seeing the monster appear where she had expected to be inspecting a chest, Katryl draws her rapier. She makes a quick lunge at it. (Rapier Attack: 13 Damage: 6 + Sneak Attack Damage: 5)
She then moves back, away from the creature. (Bonus Action: Cunning Action - Disengage. Moves back 30 ft.)
"Get off me!" Khessa exclaims, grabbing her scimitar and dagger in a flash and starting to rain lunges and slashes on the monster.
'I am without armor, so an easy target... If I waste time struggling, even if I succeed in breaking free, this horror may very well strike me anyway...' tries to keep lucid the blonde arcane warrior 'No, I should rather try to tear him apart before he can tear apart me!'

(Eldeth Initiative: 16)
Eldeth, seeing the danger from the attacker, grabs her longbow, firing twice on the creature. (Longbow Attack: 24 Damage: 4) (Longbow Attack: 14 Damage: 9)

Ebzer Initiative 15
Reluctant to jump down to the lower level, in case no one else is strong enough to pull them all back up again, Ebzer will try to position himself to get a clear shot at the mimic with a javelin.
Silas gets up, brushes the cobwebs off, and helps Khessa look over the chest.
Investigation: 15

Ebzer STR Check 13
(If Ebzer's roll doesn't cut it maybe he can roll again as he is helped by Traydark. :-)
(DM allowed you advantage in this check, Rob)
