Coriana moves around the stairs, flanking the Ettercap with Asclepius. She summons her Pact blade and slashes out at the Ettercap.

Suddenly faced with a Large snake in front of it, the Ettercap Bites and Claw's at the monster: Bite against Asclepius Attack: 15 Damage: 6 Piercing and Damage: 3 Poison. And Asclepius is Poisoned condition until the start of the Ettercap's next turn.
While grappled, all the Ettercap can do is try to attack the Giant Snake again:
Bite against Asclepius Attack: 12 Damage: 5 Piercing and 4 Poison. Additionally, Asclepius has the Poisoned condition until the start of the Ettercap's next turn
While holding the torch, Xanrym can't easily use his crossbow. He keeps his distance and simply hurls magical insults at the creature, "Old, fat spider, stuck a boat! Ettercap, Attercop, won't you stop?!", hoping to at least prevent it from doing any more damage to Asclepius before the party can kill it. As he mocks the ettercap, Xanrym moves along the aft (south) wall of the cabin to the top of the stairs. He wants to provide light to those who need it for fighting, but he also want to check that no more spiders are creeping up the stairs. He takes a flask of oil out of his pouch.
Movement: Up to 30-ft to move to the head of the stairs. Action: Cast spell Vicious Mockery WIS 14 save or the Ettercap takes 5 (psychic) damage and has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. Free Action: Object interaction - take out a flask of oil.
Khessa, encouraged by how rapidly Lolth's army is falling apart, brandishes her Greatsword and approaches the Ettercap, delivering a horizontal slash at the monster's head...
Coriana slashes at the trapped Ettercap, then not wanting to lose the utility of the snake in the future, reverts it to staff form. [[AC22, 8 necrotic]]

Did not roll with advantage. If we have advantage...
(OOC: Oops! Maybe not. We previously ran Asclepius with the 2014 version before the 2024 version was available. The latter version now has multiattack, but when it constructs an opponent, they're only grappled. I didn't realize that the updated version no longer restrains opponents.)
If he notices, he'll call out, "Careful with that, Xanrym!"
Xanrym says, "Eh? I was just planning to set a fire at the top of the stairs here if something else was trying to come up from below while we were still fighting."
The Ettercap goes down under your continued assault. The room calms down for a moment, but you still get an uneasy feeling near this altar.
When the fight ends, Xanrym says, "Well! I'm glad that we all stuck together and started up here on the main deck! Once we're done in here, do you want to go directly to the lower deck," pointing to the stairs, "or check the other cabin at the bow of the main deck first?" He's now worried that they're going to find the whole ship infested with giant spiders, ettercaps, and possibly the Lolth cultists themselves.
Xanrym will finally accept Khessa's help as he searches through the debris in this cabin (OOC: the "crudely cut wooden logs, smashed furniture, torn sacks, shattered crates, and small piles of dried palm fronds" mentioned earlier). If this was the captain's cabin, it seems like the Lolth cultists just threw all of the captain's things into the debris pile. Xanrym is still hoping to find a log book or letter or anything else from the captain or his officers to explain how the ship ended up in this sorry state. From the looks of it, whatever went wrong must have started more than a few days ago. Investigation: 19, with advantage from help
As he searches, Xanrym grumbles to himself, "What is it with these crazed cultists? First naga worshippers. Now devotees of the Demon Queen of Spiders! Spreading death and destruction everywhere. What do they hope to gain?!"

Since he still has his crossbow loaded from when the party first opened the cabin door, Theldrin decides to fire the bolt at the Ettercap.

Khessa's Greatsword Attack: 18 Damage: 13 (slashing)...
...or 3 if missed, thanks to Graze property.
[[ OOC: Hmmm... something tells me it's 3. But fine, still better than nothing. This Ettercap is going down, eventually. ]]
(OOC: Dice roller tooltip is broken, so it's impossible to tell. Did you remember to roll with advantage because the Ettercap is restrained?)
