Zarbyn decides to cast another Eldritch Blast in hopes of either hitting it and scaring it off or if he misses maybe breaking the glass causing it fall, then they could all finish it off a lot easier.
Attack: 12 Damage: 6 force damage.
Zarbyn passes on Amdaeng's warning just in case some near the back didn't hear, "Amdaeng just found a tripwire so be careful approaching the figure ahead!"
He will then proceed a few feet ahead himself, being careful of the hanging vines he only moves half his speed with caution.
DEX for vines: 22

As Zarbyns magic misses the creature, another portion of the dome above breaks open. The large spidery creature falls 60 feet, dome, glass and all, sustaining 25 falling damage. (It does not look like a happy spider, but it still lives)
Unfortunately, Lev and Vydar are hit by scraps of glass, vines, and spider (14 damage/ 7 damage if make a dex save DC 14)
Lira and Zarbyn are also hit by a small amount of falling debris (8 damage/ 4 damage on dex save, DC 12)
Amdaeng jumps quite far over the trip wire, landing much closer to the kneeled figure. It is a Toa-Suo warrior. Its head cut cleanly off, lies in front of them. The body has decomposed, perhaps being here for 6 months. The trap likely cut off their head. As Amdaeng carefully looks around, she sees a horizontal slit in the wall, about 7 feet high. Whomever built this had a specific target in mind.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Feeling relatively safe as the traps here seem built for folks much taller than herself Amdaeng turns towards the sound of falling masonry and watches things unfold....if her friends need help she'll run in.
Like a cat, the huge spidery cave dweller lands on its many feet and snaps its claws at Lev and Vydar, its serrated weapons able to reach both from 10 feet away. However, stunned and injured from its fall, it misses both. Then a sticky substance shoots out of its mouth, affixing itself to Vydar. Vydar feels the sticky filament touch him and pull him toward the creatures mouth. (grappled (escape DC 13), and ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.) blood seeps out of its exoskeleton.
(Vydar and Lev, held action, when creature lands, can attack), and save's needed by those who have not rolled.)
Initiatives----->Back to the top: Lira (22) and Iólinder (20)
(for those who celebrate, happy thanksgiving. For those who do or don't, I am thankful for all of you for allowing me to have such fun with such a creative group, To friendship!!)
Lira manages to dodge the majority of the glass as the giant creature falls, only taking a few small cuts. Seeing Vydar caught on its sticky vine, she moves closer to him and aims at the appendage with Natalie's whip.
Action: whip to hit nat 1 + 6= 7 -.-
Missing, she will then try moving closer and swiping at it with Needle.
There were a couple of things Iólinder did not think he ever had to plan for. The list was not that extensive but an albino spider-lobster the size of a horse dropping down from the ceiling was definitely going to be added to the list. He lifted his crossbow again with the intent to shoot when he saw Zazi from the corner of his eye fly straight down towards the backend of the creature. It looked like she was going in for a bite but she pressed herself flat against the creature, making herself a small dark spot against the creature's white exterior right above the cerci.
Zazi turned her head, looked at Iólinder and squeaked. Hit it, boss.
Iólinder instinctively knew what to do. He dropped his crossbow to his side and lifted up his now free hand. 'Morē.'Iólinder spoke. The light around his hand seemed to dim slightly as a dark, crackling power surged between Iólinder's fingers. A moment later the same energy erupted from Zazi. Black tendrils arched across the creature's body, looking for cracks in the exoskeleton where they could seep into the soft flesh underneath.
Zazi: - move and land onto the creature. - action: Dodge - reaction: used to deliver touch spell cast by Iólinder
Lev deftly avoids the falling glass, stepping side to side quickly as he moves forward to intercept the falling spider-creature, glaive at the ready as he moves in.
Vydar's eyes narrow as his previous assumption about the figure is seemingly confirmed. Before he can turn his attention back to the massive creature on the glass ceiling, he is suddenly showered in shards of glass. His vision blurs and he barely has the chance to look down and see a large shard embedded in his stomach, before a sticky substance affixes itself to him and yanks him towards the maw of the monster. The glowing orbs the dark elf had created flicker out as Vydar's vision fades.
Vydar is knocked unconscious and grabbed by the creatures sticky spew. Lev avoids most of the creature and glass but it effects his attack, which glances off the creatures hardened shell
(Levs action was last round, Vydar down, Lira and Iolinder , creature, Lev: 14, Amdaeng 13, Vydar 11, Zarbyn: 5
"Vydar!" Lira's eyes widen as the dark elf falls, but she tries to maintain her composure and act quickly. She makes another attempt to cut the vine, hoping to save him from the immediate threat of being eaten at least.
Action: Needle to hit nat 1+ 7= 8 -.-
Bonus action: dagger to hit 3

Cursing as his blade glances off the creatures carapace, Lev spins and instead focuses his next attack on the creature's mouth, gritting his teeth as he tries to make a split decision he hopes can save Vydar.
To hit: 11... guessing that's not going to hit either lol
With Vydar down, Iólinder weighted his options. He could heal Vydar but the creature was reeling the dark elf in like a spider would a fly. It did look quite injured though, and Iólinder had been taught that the only enemy that was truly unable to fight back was a dead one.
Realising he would need his spells to patch people up later and the slight disappointment that the spell had not much impact, Iólinder chalked it up to inexperience, he grab hold again of his crossbow to shoot at the creature.
Looking around for the nearest person Amdaeng indicates the tripwire, then just says " Tripwire."
She jumps over it as far as she can in case this is some sort of two stage trap like some of those in Fang, moving up toward the headless figure.

The creature pulls Vydar in, but sensing new attackers attacks Lev twice. It first attack misses but the second hits (19 to hit, 11 slashing damage)
Lev and Liras attacks miss or hit its hardened shell. (The creature is very damaged, and Vydar is unconscious and near its mouth.)
