"You guys coming, too?" Gendan hollers up to Runt and the others.

Im not sure i can make the jump. Runt yells down the pit.

Briggs says, "I've got some rope if you want to get down there."

Runt accepts the offer and will repel down.

Runt repels down without incident.

So you have magical darkness covering the north and south passages. Elsara can sense this. There's no magical darkness in the east passage. There's smell of rats. There are rat sounds in the rat passages. No sounds in the east one.

What will the party do?

Also, Happy Holidays!

(East one?) 

(Hope you all had a good holiday!)

“I can’t see through those two hallways,” Gendan says while pointing North and South. “Perhaps we should start this way.” She gestures to the east passage, readies her weapon, and carefully proceeds. 

Val will go ahead trying to discover hidden threats and not to make too much sound

( Yes! Happy holidays to all! :)  )

Val, I assume you are going down the east path. You slowly walk down the east corridor. It's a very long and winding corridor (More than 200 ft). While moving through the corridor, you notice an oddly shaped crack on the wall. Moving further you notice a large metal door that's become brown with rust. It is laying open and you believe that it would take a lot of effort if you wanted to close this door thanks to all the rust.

Val will try to take a peek to the other side of the door if possible. If not he will go for the othrs and lead them to it.

So, which way do we go ?

The door is wide open so peeking or even going through the door isn't a issue. If you wanted to close it, that would be a problem.

Now, why would you want to go thorough that much effort to close an open door? Well, when Val peeks through the door, he sees web hives and four huge spiders in their webbed nests. Their legs are more than twice the length of their slender dark gray bodies. Their legs end in two sharp chitinous hooks which are about the length of small knives. They have sharp long hook like pincers at the end of their mouths. They have a shorty dull yellow line on their abdomens and on their claws. The spiders don't notice Val. Suddenly closing the door doesn't seem all that unimportant.

Val goes back to the others and growls silently to take them a little bit far away from the door. He then uses one of his pawns to draw in the dirt a crude corridor with a door in the side where the door is and then, at the other side he draws a crude spider but as big as he can, and then barks lowly four times.

( DEX to see how well he draws with his pawn? 21 this is beign funny :) )

I want to make it clear that Val went on the scouting trip alone. That's what I understood from the

Looking back it seems Gendan also went and Runt seems to want to follow the group (at least that's how I interpret it). Poke is probably not going to be here until 3rd January so I'm assuming Elsara went too since she doesn't want to stay alone.

Val how far are you and the party from the door?

I'll say that between 30-40 ft from them.

Val roll stealth, beat a 16 to not alert them to your presence.

( Stealth: 5

I got a 24 on post #3514 but I don't know if that was enough to go look and retreat :) 

Edit: Well it seems that you will notice the presence of the spiders soon enough. A pity... I liked the idea of the wolf drawing the spiders with the pawn XDD ) 

Actually that still happened.

Volf takes the party away from the door and draws the picture in the rubble. He actually manages to draw the picture pretty well. He barks softly four times. Turns out, barking softly in Wolf form is a lot harder to pull off than speaking softly in elf form. Especially with wolf vocal cords. As Val barks, you hear a chittering sound and a sixth sense that fills you with a sense of "Oh Shit".

You have exactly one turn before a spider passes through the door and one additional "mental turn" to do nothing more than react to both Val's drawing and the spider sounds. You better make the most of it or you'll have a CR 5-7 spider in your face.

( Could be possible to run back, turn back into his elf form and cast a Thunderwave to see if that closes the door?) 

(Yeah you can do that. Before I describe the outcome of that action, I will wait to see what the others do)
