But he is able to jump out of the way. Then the two remaining Maw Demons setpo forward and disgorge the contents of their mouths onto Avery, Khessa, and Coriana. They each try to dodge out of the way of two loads

You all are up. The Maw Demons crowd around Avery in the room while the Ettercap stands to the side. (Map incoming.)
An sorry if that last post is confusing. I re-rolled damage and saving throw for each instance of the Disgorge. Looks like the only people to fail are Khessa with 4 damage, and Coriana with 16 damage.
Khessa uses the threshold to her advantage once again to minimize the effects of the demons' raging regurgitations. She then rushes to Avery's aid, positioning herself at his right flank and bringing her heavy blade down into the still-vomit-drenched maw of the enemy in front of the valiant knight.

(OOC: Not sure if it matters, but Theldrin had moved up to the side hallway by Xanrym. He'll try to move into position for another crossbow shot, if he can without incurring an AoO)
Theldrin reloads his crossbow and moves up in attempt to get another shot off at one of the demons.
(OOC: There are no opponents outside of room 6, so Theldrin should not face any opportunity attacks as long as he does not move up to or into that room.)

(OOC: Ouch! Tough luck with that combination: missed saving throw + highest damage roll this round + PC with the fewest HP! I debated giving the bardic inspiration to Coriana instead of Khessa, but I thought that Coriana would be hanging back and eldritch-blasting from a distance.
@Charwoman_Gene - Did Coriana already use her daily Heroic Inspiration in one of the earlier spider fights?)

Xanrym: Round 2
Xanrym is surprised when he hears Avery and Coriana rushing toward the room. He remarks drily to Theldrin, "I guess they're not drawing those things into the hallway!"
Xanrym moves to the end of the E-W hallway so that he can look north, up toward the room where Avery and Khessa are fighting the demons. He had planned to kill the Ettercap first so that it couldn't draw anyone into the Cloud of Daggers, but since he doesn't see the Ettercap (OOC: not visible from his position near the rotten wooden grate), he figures that it's safe to continue shredding the demons with the spell. Xanrym focuses on his spell and moves the whirling cloud of blades to the space of the Maw Demon on the starboard side of the room.
Xanrym sees that Coriana is covered in a caustic, green bile from one of the demons and calls up the hallway to her, "Coriana, are you OK? There's room back here by the stairs." Not wanting to risk getting caught in the acid himself, Xanrym remains at the east end of the E-W hallway, near the grate. He hugs the south / stern wall of the hallway in case anyone needs to pass him, but he looks poised to race into up the hall toward room #6 if Khessa and Avery get into trouble.
Movement: Move to the east end of the E-W hallway, near the grate. Once he takes his action, Xanrym leans his back against the south / stern wall and slides back to the west just enough to give himself 3/4-cover from anything at the north end of the hallway. Action: Magic action to teleport 5-foot cube of Cloud of Daggers to the Maw Demon that's closest to the Ettercap. The Maw Demon closest to the Ettercap takes damage: 12 (magical slashing) Note that any creature who enters or who ends its turn in the 5-ft cube AoE also takes the same damage: 12 (magical slashing). Free Action: Talking.
If Coriana does not avoid the damage Syllen will use his spell scroll of Cure Wounds to heal Coriana. Afterwards, he will attack the Demon with Luminous Arrow. If Coriana avoids the damage, Syllen will attack instead.
Khessa hits the demon, spurred on by Xanrym's inspiration. Then Theldrin's crossbow bolt ends the creature. Xanrym's spell continues to shred the Maw Demon next to Khessa.
Coriana, Avery, and Syllen are still up. There's only one Maw Demon and the Ettercap left in the room. The Ettercap is hissing wildly with the death of all the mouth like demons.
Coriana launches a badly aimed blast (rolled a 1) at the ettercap then retreats back into the hallway to catch her breath.

Khessa interposes the massive pommel of the Greatsword's hilt and thus pushes away the disgusting face of the Ettercap before the monster can bite her. The hybrid's claw in the meantime searches for a gap in her shiny armor, but it barely manages to scratch the skin underneath.
The blonde arcane warrior peevishly pushes her opponent away again with a frontal kick, thus gaining space to swing her long and sharp blade again: "That's how it's done! Send my regards to your mother Lolth, when you meet her, will you!?"

Round 2
Khessa uses the threshold to her advantage once again to minimize the effects of the demons' raging regurgitations. She then rushes to Avery's aid, positioning herself at his right flank and bringing her heavy blade down into the still-vomit-drenched maw of the enemy in front of the valiant knight.
Khessa's Greatsword Attack: 8 Damage: 12 (slashing) or 3 if missed, thanks to Graze property.
If it's a miss, Khessa uses Xanrym's Bardic Inspiration: 6 and the AC she hits becomes 18
(OOC: Not sure if it matters, but Theldrin had moved up to the side hallway by Xanrym. He'll try to move into position for another crossbow shot, if he can without incurring an AoO)
Theldrin reloads his crossbow and moves up in attempt to get another shot off at one of the demons.
Attack: 17 Damage: 10

(OOC: If I understand correctly, Avery, Khessa, and Theldrin attacked the same Maw Demon, and Xanrym is using his spell to shred the other one.)
If Coriana does not avoid the damage Syllen will use his spell scroll of Cure Wounds to heal Coriana. Afterwards, he will attack the Demon with Luminous Arrow. If Coriana avoids the damage, Syllen will attack instead.
Heal Coriana: 9
Luminous Arrow Attack:16 Damage: 12 Radiant
Khessa hits the demon, spurred on by Xanrym's inspiration. Then Theldrin's crossbow bolt ends the creature. Xanrym's spell continues to shred the Maw Demon next to Khessa.
Coriana, Avery, and Syllen are still up. There's only one Maw Demon and the Ettercap left in the room. The Ettercap is hissing wildly with the death of all the mouth like demons.
(Sorry, bit of a double post with JehanO there.) The last Maw Demon goes down, Coriana and Avery still up.
Coriana launches a badly aimed blast (rolled a 1) at the ettercap then retreats back into the hallway to catch her breath.
Coriana - Company of the Grey Chain

Avery also misses the Ettercap, who takes a swing at Khessa, still hissing in it's alien language:
Bite against Khessa Attack: 17 Damage: 4 Piercing and 2 Poison. Khessa is Poisoned until the start of the Ettercap's next turn.
The Ettercap then slashes at Khessa:
Slash against Khessa Attack: 22 Damage: 6 Slashing.
You all are up. The Ettercap is fighting to the end.
Syllen pulls out his crossbow and attacks the Ettercap.
True Strike Hit: 15 Damage: 10 Radiant
Luminous Arrow Hit: 13 Damage: 6 Radiant
