"Everyone stay alert! We may not be able to see it but I'll bet it can see us!"
Zarbyn will get ready to move where Iolinder is when he moves further along after Lira. He will also draw one of his daggers.

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."
— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
After reading the text, Vydar says, “Not sure if this is a warning or not, but the text on this gateway reads: Before the gates of Allansia, the world outside fades into insignificance. Enter if you must, but know this—Sultan Akharis is the sun, and you are but a fleeting shadow.“
As members try to hug the wall and avoid vines, Zazi suddenly lets out a sort of strange noise in warning. (Squeak, squeak, squeak!) Everyone freezes as Iólinder checks to see what his familiar sees
Iólinder
Just ahead of Lira, you see a vine/ webbing drop down, you see a round bulbous head on a ledge (East side of dome) just below the dome. Then the head disappears, now in full cover and out of Zazi's sight. Like a creature fishing, it patiently waits above. (The black border on owlbear is the start of the dome, and has some sort of ledge that the creature is hiding on, then the dome rises to the roof, purple circle is top of dome)
As Lira carefully advances forward, she hears the squeak of Zazi and instinctively freezes. As she searches for any hints, she notices the sight in the hallway ahead, at the end of her sight. It appears to be someone kneeling, perhaps in prayer, but she does not see its head. It is a large figure, larger than a human for sure, with a fur dropped over its back.
On owlbear rodeo, the large purple circle/ black border of the wall is a ledge and represents the base of the dome (say 40 feet tall walls, then rising from the walls is the dome, going to a height of 60 feet (small circle). There is a ledge on the base of the dome. No one can see the creature or the green except Zazi right now, and Iolinder if he looks through the familiars eyes.)
As she freezes, Lira notices the figure ahead. "I see that thing you were talking about, Vydar.Looks like a headless statue or headless corpse." Neither option is particularly favorable, but at least it doesn't appear like it will move to attack them.
Zazi squeeks again, as she sees something move. A vine in front of Lira suddenly goes up and is gone.
(Still free actions, but moving into combat, the creature has moved, and the vine near Lira disappears. You suspect it is hiding a a ledge at the base of the dome against a wall.)
Lira pales as the vine in front of her suddenly seems to come to life and rises up. She will stealthily move south 20 ft and right ~5 feet to hide behind the rocks there. Stealth 9.
If she makes it there, she will ready a whip attack for the spider should it move/reappear in range. Rolling ahead of time: To hit 20, damage 7 + 1 sneak attack if applicable.
Lira accidentally touches several hanging vines but nothing happens and she does reach the rocks, although with the creature above, she feels uncomfortable with her hiding place.
Zazi's squeaks alerted Iólinder to the danger. In the split second he saw the vine disappearing, Iólinder lifted his crossbow and shot at where he both hoped and did not hope the creature was before he moved away from any of the dome's ledges. Zazi for her part kept out of sight behind Iólinders back.
Attack roll with disadvantage because of unseen target: 169 Damage roll: 6
Unfortunately, Iólinder's shot misses. However, you hear a sort of hiss sound from above, as the predator realizes it has been discovered, near the northeast wall, some 40 feet up. Then some of the vines up there rustle or shake, then nothing as the silent creature repositions.
---->(Lev, Amdaeng, Vydar, Zarbyn can all take an action, every post that you move, roll dex to avoid vines. The faster you move, the harder the DC to avoid)
Zarbyn will idle up to the edge of where the dome begins above, just below Iolinder and Amdaeng on the map. (I believe I was able to position my token on the map.)
"It's found a good spot up there and has the advantage over us. Unless we have a way to get up there we'll have to figure out a way to draw it down here."
Zarbyn will ready his action with the trigger that if he sees the spider-like creature he will cast Eldritch Blast at it.

Vydar attempts to follow Lira across the room. His gaze constantly shifting between the kneeling figure, and the area above them where the spider thing lurks.
Dex: 12
His jaw tightens when Lira confirms what he's seeing. Her saying the word corpse out loud causing him to think more about one of the possibilities running through his head. If not a statue, this could very well be the body of one of the Tao-Sou people they'd been asked to retrieve necklaces from.
Rather than attacking the creature, Vydar casts dancing lights, causing four glowing red orbs to appear in the space above them.

Lira cautiously moves another 30 ft forward along the wall, checking for traps as she goes.

You avoid all vines, but don’t see anything above. Iólinder Is behind her at her previous location.

Amdaeng moved up to the corner staring into the darkness with her shiny new eyes in wonder.....
