(OOC: If everyone in group 1 gets a chance, you might want to mention where you want your movement to put you at the end of your turn. In such tight quarters, positioning could really impact who is able to attack which target or who is exposed to the melee attacks by which creatures.
It sounds like group 1 starts the round in area 4, on the stairs or in that little 12-ft x 5-ft room at the bottom of the stairs before moving into the E-W hallway. Without moving, I'm not sure whether Avery, Khessa, Theldrin, and Syllen can even see any of the opponents. Based on the map scale, I think that these are the six viable positions once you leave area 4, assuming that you have enough movement to get there:
I hope that we'll end up with someone at C, D, and/or E so that the creatures in the N-S hallway cannot all surround Coriana on their turn.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
All the creatures toward the back of the boat are Restrained. Syllen and Khessa's spells hit, ripping through the heavy sheets of webbing, yet Theldrin's misses. When Avery tries to walk through the doorway into the room, he finds that the same webbing stops him from gaining entry and starts to enclose around him.
Avery is Restrained in the doorway. His attack has to redirected at the Wolf Spider next to him, but at Disadvantage, rolled here: 15

Neither Ettercap is able to catch Coriana. Wolf Spider 2 moves forward and bites at Coriana, while Wolf Spiders 3 and 4 attempt to escape their grapple and move toward Coriana:
Bite against Coriana Attack: 24 Damage: 7 Piercing and 4 Poison
Coriana will disengage and climb back up the rope. She shouts down through the open grate, “I’m out!” and positions herself to be able to blast down at the spiders and ettercaps. She also leaves her mage hand with torch down there to let her see.

Xanrym: Round 1
Maybe Xanrym lost confidence in his attacks during the last spider fight. Or -- with Avery stuck in a web and most of the creatures at the south end of area 5 still restrained by Syllen's spell -- maybe he just decides to focus on preventing the creatures from the north end of the the area 5 hallway from getting to Avery while the others focus on reducing the numbers. Xanrym releases his concentration on Comprehend Languages and focuses on preventing the creatures from the north end of that tunnel from getting to Avery this round while his allies take care of the injured and restrained ettercap.
Xanrym also calls down: "Can anyone cut Avery out of that web?"
Movement: None. Stay on the main deck near the great. Action: Cast spell (LVL 2 slot) Cloud of Daggers to create spinning daggers in a 5-foot Cube centered on the giant spider just to the north of where Coriana was. (So, basically, right on the label for area 5 or position C in my map above.) The giant spider at position C takes damage: 10 (magical slashing) Note that any creature who tries to pass through the AoE also takes 10 damage if it enters the Cube or ends its turn there before the start of Xanrym's next turn. Free Action: Talking
"I'm with you Syllen!" Khessa agrees, trying to finish off the enemy with another dose of magical fire.
[[ OOC: Khessa casts Fire Bolt at an entangled target. The already wounded one, if it sitll lives - else another Ettercap or another entangled target ]]
The Ettercap is still up, but Theldrin's able to cut away at the webbing, setting Avery free. Xanrym's Cloud of Daggers eviscerates the Giant Wolf Spider caught in it, Ettercap 1 looks menacingly up at him.
I believe Avery is still up, and no longer Restrained.
Theldrin aims a Fire Bolt at the Ettercap being targeted by the others if it's still standing. If not, he attacks the nearest Ettercap or Spider.
Attack: 9 Damage: 6
If Advantage, 2nd attack roll: 12
[[Speaking is a free action you can take on other people’s turns, right?]]
Coriana shouts, “CRAP! Xanrym, coming back up!”

(OOC: If so...)
As soon as Xanrym sees the creatures starting to move to attack, he shouts, "Khessa, Avery, more ettercaps! Can you get to Coriana?"
Xanrym replies, "Aye-aye!", as he tries to find a position where he can target the creatures in the hallway without being in Coriana's way.
DC 14 STR Saves against Entangle:
Ettercap 2: 6
Wolf Spider 3: 8
Wolf Spider 4: 5

Avery is Restrained in the doorway. His attack has to redirected at the Wolf Spider next to him, but at Disadvantage, rolled here: 15
But Whisper still strike true, cleaving that spider in half.
Ettercap 1 shoots a Web Strand at Coriana, attempting to catch her:
Coriana makes a DC 12 DEX Save or is Restrained until the web is destroyed: 15
Ettercap 2 will try the same thing:
Coriana makes a DC 12 DEX Save or is Restrained until the web is destroyed: 3
Neither Ettercap is able to catch Coriana. Wolf Spider 2 moves forward and bites at Coriana, while Wolf Spiders 3 and 4 attempt to escape their grapple and move toward Coriana:
Bite against Coriana Attack: 24 Damage: 7 Piercing and 4 Poison
Wolf Spider 3 DC 14 Athletics Check: 6
Wolf Spider 4 DC 14 Athletics Check: 20
You all are up, Avery is stuck in the doorway by webbing, while two Giant Wolf Spiders surround Coriana.
Coriana will disengage and climb back up the rope. She shouts down through the open grate, “I’m out!” and positions herself to be able to blast down at the spiders and ettercaps. She also leaves her mage hand with torch down there to let her see.

Syllen will focus on the Restrained Ettercap.
"We need to kill it before it breaks free."
True Strike Attack: 18 Damage: 12 Radiant
Luminous Arrow Attack: 19 Damage: 8 Radiant
(OOC) Both rolls were with advantage and I just realized if the Ettercap dies I might have messed up. 😐

Theldrin moves up and attempts to help Avery escape the webbing in the doorway, drawing a dagger from his belt and cutting strands of web.
Attack: 17 Damage: 6
The Ettercap is still up, but Theldrin's able to cut away at the webbing, setting Avery free. Xanrym's Cloud of Daggers eviscerates the Giant Wolf Spider caught in it, Ettercap 1 looks menacingly up at him.

Avery, will charge against the Ettercap, still growling about "Bloody Spiders!" Attack: 15; damage 10
