Daryos heaves the torch into the webs, the flames quickly igniting the silvery strands before it gets stuck in the sticky mass. The flames lick around the torch and spread out in every direction. As the flames begin to spread and disrupt the webs, you see three figures quickly skitter towards the flames. As the creatures get close, the flames reflect in the beady eyes of the spiders. They rear backwards from the spreading flames... skittering back towards the far corner of the tavern basement.
*When the spiders reveal themselves for a moment before retreating backwards, Daryos unleashes his crossbow bolt*
The flames spread towards the group and work their way on to the ceiling as they fan out in every direction from where the torch first landed. With each second that passes, more webbing is ignited while other webbing burned away, revealing countless bones and refuse piles that had been laying under the carpet of webbing.
As one of the large spiders begin to turn, the crossbow bolt from Daryos slams into the back of the spider, spraying ichor across the flaming webbing. The ichor sizzles and bubbles as the flames from the burning webbing overtakes the wounded spider. Black smoke begins the billow from the engulfed spider as it thrashes wildly before going still. The smell of burning hair and boiling spider fluids assaults your nostrils.
Vesna decides to try and carefully collect the one vial she sees on the table. While she is busy, she hears the crunch and then a 'whoosh' as the torch flies through the air. She turns around in time to see the web catching on fire, Daryos shooting at the movement in the back of the room, and the crossbow bold hitting a huge spider. Jerking in surprise, she reaches for her mace and shield.

Aeran Dormaris - L2 Paladin on his way to Phandelver
Map with coordinates! Please indicate where you are standing if possible. I will try* to add characters and monsters to the map... but at least knowing where you all are starting should help.
Sizzling Spider swarm - 19 --- 7 fire damage taken Smoldering Giant wolf spider 16 --- 6 fire damage taken Singed Giant wolf Spider - 11 --- 2 fire damage taken Kitaer - 10 Vesna - 9 Daryos - 7 Smoking Spider Swarm - 7 --- 5 damage taken Stasyn - 6 Nesyax - 4
As the fire quickly spreads across the webbing, loud screeching pierces through the flames. The Two remaining large spiders race from the flames towards the group, embers and smoke rolling from their spindly legs and scorched hair. As the flames spread towards the barrels of ale, the two farthest barrels erupt with swarms of smaller spiders. Seemingly hundreds of them immediately wither under the extreme heat but thousands more manage to escape the flames and race towards the party, skittering over the barrels of ale and across the ceiling before descending upon the party.
Sizzling Spider Swarm - The first swarm erupts from a hole in the barrel and immediatly skitters towards the party, rushing over the ceiling and barrels like a wave of legs and fangs. The swarm leaps from the top of the massive barrel and lands all over Stasyn... crawling all over the Verdan and attempting to make their way into his clothing... (action - dash)
Smoldering Giant Wolf Spider - The first of the monstrous spiders appears badly burned as it skitters towards Vesna. A badly burned leg falls off but it continues to race towards Vesna with poisonous fangs bared towards her... (Action - dash)
Singed Giant wolf Spider - The second giant spider races up the center of the room, skittering across the floor and the sides of the barrels before leaping out in front of Kitaer with its dripping fangs ready to strike. It is burned but not nearly as bad as the others... (Action - dash)
The following players are up! Kitaer - 10 Vesna - 9 Daryos - 7
Kitaer attacks! Axe already at the ready, the minotaur swings as the Singed Giant Wolf Spider approaches, calling out for everyone to get behind him as he does... And the fire and the spiders sends Kitaer into a rage!
Greataxe Attack: 8 to hit, 14 damage plus
If that hits (doubt it) then Kitaer uses his Hammering Horns feature to push the spider 10' toward whatever flames may be within range? Or just 10' backwards if no flames nearby... This does not occur if he missed with the greataxe attack.
Vesna's hand grips the handle of the mace hard, as a giant smoking and burning shadow quickly makes its way to her. Petrified, the young woman can only watch as the creature comes closer and closer, until it stands right in front of her, its fangs glimmering ominously in the growing flames. The click of its jaws seems to snap the cleric out of her stupor, because the next moment her hand is swinging with the mace, as she attempts to hit the huge arachnid's head.
Attack 20 damage 3 in game log (I misclicked it so there's two rolls)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
His heart sinking with the unexpected appearance of the swarms of vicious spiders, Daryos jaws clenches as he quickly reloads his crossbow, aims it at the spider attacking Vesna, and fires.
The Smoldering Giant Wolf spider staggers from the powerful mace blow. Its feet scrap and claw at the floor as it straightens itself and prepares to attack. Just as it begins to lunge forward towards Vesna, A well placed crossbow bolt from Daryos slams into the head of the spider, spraying Vesna with ichor as the large smoldering spider crumples at her feet.
Sizzling Spider swarm - 19 --- 7 fire damage taken Smoldering Giant wolf spider 16 --- 6 fire damage taken Singed Giant wolf Spider - 11 --- 2 fire damage taken Kitaer - 10 Vesna - 9 Daryos - 7 Smoking Spider Swarm - 7 --- 5 damage taken Stasyn - 6 Nesyax - 4
A Smoking Spider Swarm emerges from the broken barrel and quickly skitters across the floor towards Nesyax. The wave of tiny furry fangs spreads across the barrel and then above on to the ceiling. The swarm scrambles and skitters its way across the tops of the barrels and ceiling as it races towards the party. The tiny creatures all but disappear as they race towards Nesyax, heavily obscured as they travel within the tight space between the barrels and the wooden ceiling. (Action - dash)
The following players are up! OOC: The one spider swarm is sharing a space with Stasyn and not actually in the space next to them... just to be clear in case anyone is using spells that target an area.
Nesyax starts to move as she sees the swarm coming towards her (to B11). Her voice tinged with magic, she calls out encouragement to Kitaer (Inspiration - Bonus Action). She then shouts at the swarm. "Stay away you vile little meaningless pests!" (Vicious Mockery - WIS Save DC 13 ot take 3 psychic damage and on failed save disadvantage to its next attack roll.)
When Stasyn backs up to cast his spell, the Singed Giant Wolf Spider takes the opportunity to strike at the verdan with its dripping fangs as he moves towards the stairs....
Singed Giant Wolf Spider AOO against Stasyn: Attack: 13 Damage: 3, Make DC 11 CON save or take 4 poison damage
OOC: Sorry for the previous deleted post. I had an AOO for the swarm that would have KO'd Stasyn but I didn't realize the reach was 0ft... and then when i tried to cross it out it changed the original rolls.

Daryos' preemptive crossbow bolt: 7 Piercing: 4
(Extra crit damage: 5)
As one of the large spiders begin to turn, the crossbow bolt from Daryos slams into the back of the spider, spraying ichor across the flaming webbing. The ichor sizzles and bubbles as the flames from the burning webbing overtakes the wounded spider. Black smoke begins the billow from the engulfed spider as it thrashes wildly before going still.

Kitaer swings hard with his axe, missing the spider and slamming it into the stone floor... kicking up sparks and bits of stone.
Vesna focuses as she swings her mace. The heavy weapon slams into the spider with a sickening crunch but it continues to stand.
His heart sinking with the unexpected appearance of the swarms of vicious spiders, Daryos jaws clenches as he quickly reloads his crossbow, aims it at the spider attacking Vesna, and fires.
Light Crossbow: 18 Piercing: 5
He then backs up 5 feet up the stairs.
The Smoldering Giant Wolf spider staggers from the powerful mace blow. Its feet scrap and claw at the floor as it straightens itself and prepares to attack. Just as it begins to lunge forward towards Vesna, A well placed crossbow bolt from Daryos slams into the head of the spider, spraying Vesna with ichor as the large smoldering spider crumples at her feet.
