Nundro[?] Action: Multi-Attack Vs Ordrin(AC 20). Slam - Attack: 19 Damage: 5 bludgeoning. Slam - Attack: 12 Damage: 9 bludgeoning.
Gundren's Action: Dash.
Ordrin need not go far to get to Anton, as the man fell right beside him. After taking a moment to heal Anton with Sharindlar's grace, a fury rises up within the dwarf, and spurs him into rushing for the drow, bellowing his rage.
Pip once again finds himself torn between the arcane and friendship, but chooses the latter in the end. Riris awakens to a cooling sensation spreading up from her hand to the rest of her body, restoring her vitality... for now.
Even enraged, Ordrin might've picked up on Nundro shifting to stand up out of the corner of his eyes. But in his anger, it is not until he feels a meaty fist cracking him across the jaw that he realizes the threat. Even then, Nundro's left hook catches him in the chin and staggers him back. As the daze and confusion eventually fade away, Ordrin can see the ropes that presumably -- supposedly kept Nundro bound now on the ground about his feet. That, and a smile spread to unnatural degrees across the burgundy beardy dwarf's face...
Gundren's eyes go wide seeing the attacks made from his brother. His face then turned as red as his beard as he looks to the Drow after and yells, "What have ya done to me brother ya stink'n spider lover!" He bellows while running straight for Nezzenar![H2].

Anton rushes toward Nezzenar, mindful of the surprising hostility observed from Nundro and giving him a wide berth to avoid getting stabbed on his way (ending at G2 via H4), and launches into his now familiar one-two jab-n'-whack, using the pointy end of his spear to try to knock the Drow's spellcasting focus from his hands (disarming attack if hits), and the blunt end to try to move him out of the way (crusher, to H1) so that the fighter can retrieve it.
Main Attack: 9 Damage: 19
BA Attack: 20 Damage: 9
Disarming Attack. When you hit with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to add it to the damage and to disarm the target if it fails a STR saving throw (DC 14).
Bardic inspiration added to the 1st attack roll: 1
Riris is awoken, both by the healing ointment being smeared across her skin by one of the gnomes and by the sharp pain of fire burning her before she can even get up. Determined to not let it all be over here, Riris gets up and then struggles her way out of the webbing.
She needed to get away through the closest path available or else dedicate her entire attention to moving out. Thankfully, a small path out reveals itself to her. Just two steps: 5 ft. southeast, then 5 ft. east. She was safe for now. Seeing that there was already light in the room, thanks to the flames that harmed her, Riris decides to use a spell.
Riris closes her eyes, pulls her lute, and then plays a little tune sounding a little goofy and comic. An eye opens, and a small grin appears on her face. "Why did the fly fly? It's because the spider spied ‘er." With that awful pun and the wisps of magic appearing on the fingers that played the tune, the halfling then points up towards Nezzenar.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(I put everything that needed to be fixed from the post above in strikethrough, and here are the actual actions Riris takes:)
With the darkness that swept through the north side of the room, Riris is quite concerned. Her best plan is to send her mage hand that's holding the lit up coin in that direction. Since the hand might get harmed, the bard's sure to try and have it avoid it. She's not sure where she's sending it, but it needs to be within 30 ft. of her, and the closest she can to the place where she's hearing all the action.
Then, assuming she can at least see Anton, she speaks another set of healing words to get the fighter in proper shape. 7HP healed.
Nezzenar Reaction: Cast Shield starting from Anton's 1st Attack(Turning both 1st and 2nd attack into a miss. Bardic Expended, but not the Battle Maneuver).
Nezzenar Bonus Action: Cast Spirit Shroud at 3rd level. (Concentration on Web dropped)
Nezzenar Action: (Two-Handed)Spider Staff Vs Anton(AC 20). Attack: 10 Damage: 17 of bludgeoning, poison, and necrotic. If hit, Anton cannot regain hit points until the start of Nezzenar's next turn. (For the purposes of Heavy Armor Master damage reduction, the 1st d8 is the bludgeoning damage)
While not 100% clear on the happenings beyond the edge of the light, Anton has heard and seen roughly enough to at rush headlong into the darkened field with some confidence of success. Unfortunately, confidence and what little guidance the pair of dwarf's nearby can give is not enough overcome another magical barrier brought to bear in response to the assault. But he'd come close. Close enough for the spear tip to reveal at least to the dwarf's a familiar thin member of arcane energy reveal itself form contact, before the secondary spell rebuffed it altogether.
Meanwhile, Riris suffers some fairly painful burns. But such was the price of freedom. And like a phoenix, she rose again, and just barely makes it to relative safety beyond the web. Once there she could finally devote her attention towards taking the coin in her Magic, sending it closer to the fight[F6]. Both Nezzenar and Nundro recoil as the Light at last illuminates the other part of the room. Enough to see and try to get him back into fighting shape with just the right words.
Mixum tries his best to get free with Charlotte's help. But unfortunately, even the combined efforts of gnome and machine is not yet enough to overcome the sticky substance just yet.
After his eyes slowly adjusted to the light, Nezzenar glares at the group, before turning on Anton in particular. "How... annoying. If you won't stay down of your own, then I guess I will just have to make sure it -sticks- this time." He growled out, before raising the staff above him. Before the shielding magic had faded fully, Nezzenar calls out an arcane word in that strange tongue from an hour ago. Those closest to the spider corpses can see their spirits rise from their bodies, then explode into motes of translucent grey flames that begin flitting about Nezzenar.
Some of which gathers about his staff, and just as the barrier dissolves, he brings it down hard; only to be deflected by the shield.

Pip quickly runs through the spells he has left in memory dismissing FireBall and Shatter as his companions are too close to Nezznar. He settles on one and quickly casts it.
A shimmering green arrow streaks toward Nezznar and bursts in a spray of acid. Acid Arrow.
Attack: 14 Damage: 13 acid damage immediately and 5 acid damage at the end of its next turn. On a miss, the arrow splashes the target with acid for half as much of the initial damage and no damage at the end of its next turn.

The sting of Nundro's assault quells the anger in Ordrin and he searches the dwarf's eyes to gain some understanding of what may be motivating him. Uncertain but wary of Gundren's brother, Ordrin charges and shoves Nundro, hoping to knock him over or at least push him back. The looks briefly to Riris and calls Sharindlar to her aid.

Ordrin knocks Nundro over. But without a concentrated effort of some kind to uncover the truth, whatever magic or malady or whatever is affecting him since unchanged by the show of aggression. Deciding to focus his efforts elsewhere, Ordrin calls upon the fast wading strength to channel Sharindlar's divinity to heal Riris and put some color back in those cheeks.
Pip holds his position for now and conjures a wad of acid to loose upon the drow. But while his aim is a touch to high, enough of the dribbling mass rains down upon his foe. Nezzenar flinches from the pain, but still looked plenty fighting fit.
Nundro wastes almost no time in getting back to his feet. Yet it seems without some element of surprise on his side, Ordrin is able to easily repel him with his shield.
"Answer me, you walking dung pile!"yelled Gundren as he again swung the war pick for Nezzenar's legs. Unfortunately, the elf's sudden step back, causing the swing to go wild. In spite of all of his frustration, this one failure at least elicits a smirk from the Drow.

Riris smiles after receiving the healing to the point that, who knows, she might just run in closer.
First, though, she had this joke on her mind that she needed to say but couldn't while there was darkness, yet, right now, the opportunity was perfect. The bard just repeats the words she'd kept in her head, with a plan to put a stop to Nezzenar's plans once and for all. To do that, the quirky little tune she had in mind is played, then, as the particles of magic appear on her fingers, she boosts it with the pun."Why did the flyfly?" A small pause to bring in curiosity, then, "It's because the spider spied ‘er." Finishing the spell off by pointing at her target.
Anton, despite his previous efforts having been frustrated by the drow's magical barrier, is undeterred, and attempts once more to knock the caster's focus to the ground and push Nezzenar away.
Main Attack (disarming strike if it hits): 22 Damage: 17

Anton almost absolutely destroy Nezzenar through a combination of stabbing him the through the wrist, drawing forth cries of pain from the Drow, before then abruptly cutting him off with a back end of the spear. All before even the first syllable of the protective spell could be uttered. At some point between Nezzenar spinning about from being knocked aside and his stumbling to keep his feet, the staff falls to the ground before Anton.
Nezzenar starts to lunge for staff, only to flinch away as Anton advances and puts a foot down on it.
Mixum puts aside any emotional concerns if there were any, and plugs a couple of shots into Nundro. The dwarf ducks the first one with ease though, but took the second to the shoulder in the process. There's a grunt of pain out of the dwarf, but he took it in stride and glared at the approaching gnome with nothing less than hatred for the construct rider.
It was finally time. Time for Riris to speak the magical words she'd been dying since the fight practically began no doubt! Nezzenar hardly pays her any mind at first as much of his focus appeared split between glaring at Anton and holding his wrist. But some jokes are impossible to ignore, and this went doubly so for the magical kind. What started as chocked out chuckles turns into full blown laughter and curse words as the Drow fell flat on his butt. Nezzenar can only laugh and wheeze and try to fight off the spell, but to little avail.
Pip and Ordrin are now up!

"No! Dunno kill him!" Ordrin yells at Mixum. Then he calls forth Moradin's divine power upon the drow as readies himself for another attack from Nundro.
Pip sees his opportunity and not wanting to mess up and miss or maybe even hit one of his companions he creates three glowing darts of magical force. He then sends them all at Nezzenar.
Gundren's War Pick Vs Nezzenar(AC 16): Attack: 15 Damage: 9 piercing.
Reaction: Nezzenar Cast Shield vs above attack, turning it into a miss.
Charlotte, Mixum, and Ordrin may make a melee opportunity attack on Nundro, unless they possess a feat that allows other options.
Ordrin yells at Mixum to check his fire, least he accidentally slay Gundren's Brother. How much of that actually registers to the gnome however, Ordrin could not be sure in the heat of the moment, before needing to call down holy flames upon the Drow. To his disappointment however, even engulfed in madness, the Drow is able to roll over in time to avoid harm.
Pip takes no chances where the Drow is concerned, and just unleashes a flurry of magical darts. Each one that impacts leaves bruises and scoring. But in dishing out the pain, the laughter turned into a grunts or cries of pain... and never picks up again. Rather as he laid there breathing heavily and bleeding a decent deal, Nezzenar looks for the first time panicked up at everyone gathered about him.
After seeing all of that, Nundro too takes in the scene, no longer looking nearly as confident or sinister as before. He shoots one last look down the tunnel to the right of the room, before cursing underbreath and making a break for the doors you guys just came through.
"Brother! Wait!!"yelled Gundren. But, seeing his words fall on deaf ears, he growls in rage, turned on the drow. In a mighty swing that assuredly would've caved in any skull, the war pick came down, but Nezzenar is able to throw up a hand in time and utter the words to erect another barrier in time. "Release. Him!" He spat, pressing against the barrier and pushing it down further and further upon the Drow.
Nezzenar simply grinned vindictively back in answer.

Anton looks briefly back toward the fleeing Nundro, but trusts that the others will be able to prevent him from getting away and returns his focus to the near-dead drow.

Deciding to focus his efforts elsewhere, Ordrin calls upon the fast wading strength to channel Sharindlar's divinity to heal Riris and put some color back in those cheeks.
Pip holds his position for now and conjures a wad of acid to loose upon the drow. But while his aim is a touch to high, enough of the dribbling mass rains down upon his foe. Nezzenar flinches from the pain, but still looked plenty fighting fit.
Nundro wastes almost no time in getting back to his feet. Yet it seems without some element of surprise on his side, Ordrin is able to easily repel him with his shield.
"Answer me, you walking dung pile!" yelled Gundren as he again swung the war pick for Nezzenar's legs. Unfortunately, the elf's sudden step back, causing the swing to go wild. In spite of all of his frustration, this one failure at least elicits a smirk from the Drow.
Anton, Riris, and Mixum/Charlotte are now up!

Mixum flexes a little now that he and Charlotte must have finally broken through the web. They ride to H6 where Mixum fires a couple shots at Nundro.
11
damage 5
22
damage 8
They continue riding up toward Odrin so that Charlotte can defend against any attacks on him.
Riris smiles after receiving the healing to the point that, who knows, she might just run in closer.
First, though, she had this joke on her mind that she needed to say but couldn't while there was darkness, yet, right now, the opportunity was perfect. The bard just repeats the words she'd kept in her head, with a plan to put a stop to Nezzenar's plans once and for all. To do that, the quirky little tune she had in mind is played, then, as the particles of magic appear on her fingers, she boosts it with the pun. "Why did the fly fly?" A small pause to bring in curiosity, then, "It's because the spider spied ‘er." Finishing the spell off by pointing at her target.
DC 13 Wis save or suffer the effects of Hideous Laughter
With her plan to move, she walks around the spider's body and finishes walking when she's at G6, right next to her mage hand.

Anton, despite his previous efforts having been frustrated by the drow's magical barrier, is undeterred, and attempts once more to knock the caster's focus to the ground and push Nezzenar away.
Main Attack (disarming strike if it hits): 22 Damage: 17
BA Attack (disarming strike if the previous missed or they make the save, trip attack if they are already disarmed): 27 Damage: 19

Anton Chergoba | Human | Battlemaster 4 | Lost Mines of Phandelver (AC 20; PP 14; 36/36 HP)
Anton almost absolutely destroy Nezzenar through a combination of stabbing him the through the wrist, drawing forth cries of pain from the Drow, before then abruptly cutting him off with a back end of the spear. All before even the first syllable of the protective spell could be uttered. At some point between Nezzenar spinning about from being knocked aside and his stumbling to keep his feet, the staff falls to the ground before Anton.
Nezzenar starts to lunge for staff, only to flinch away as Anton advances and puts a foot down on it.
Mixum puts aside any emotional concerns if there were any, and plugs a couple of shots into Nundro. The dwarf ducks the first one with ease though, but took the second to the shoulder in the process. There's a grunt of pain out of the dwarf, but he took it in stride and glared at the approaching gnome with nothing less than hatred for the construct rider.
It was finally time. Time for Riris to speak the magical words she'd been dying since the fight practically began no doubt! Nezzenar hardly pays her any mind at first as much of his focus appeared split between glaring at Anton and holding his wrist. But some jokes are impossible to ignore, and this went doubly so for the magical kind. What started as chocked out chuckles turns into full blown laughter and curse words as the Drow fell flat on his butt.
Nezzenar can only laugh and wheeze and try to fight off the spell, but to little avail.
Pip and Ordrin are now up!

"No! Dunno kill him!" Ordrin yells at Mixum. Then he calls forth Moradin's divine power upon the drow as readies himself for another attack from Nundro.
Sacred Flame (Dex13): 8
Pip sees his opportunity and not wanting to mess up and miss or maybe even hit one of his companions he creates three glowing darts of magical force. He then sends them all at Nezzenar.
Magic Missile for 13 force damage.
Ordrin yells at Mixum to check his fire, least he accidentally slay Gundren's Brother. How much of that actually registers to the gnome however, Ordrin could not be sure in the heat of the moment, before needing to call down holy flames upon the Drow. To his disappointment however, even engulfed in madness, the Drow is able to roll over in time to avoid harm.
Pip takes no chances where the Drow is concerned, and just unleashes a flurry of magical darts. Each one that impacts leaves bruises and scoring. But in dishing out the pain, the laughter turned into a grunts or cries of pain... and never picks up again. Rather as he laid there breathing heavily and bleeding a decent deal, Nezzenar looks for the first time panicked up at everyone gathered about him.
After seeing all of that, Nundro too takes in the scene, no longer looking nearly as confident or sinister as before. He shoots one last look down the tunnel to the right of the room, before cursing underbreath and making a break for the doors you guys just came through.
"Brother! Wait!!" yelled Gundren. But, seeing his words fall on deaf ears, he growls in rage, turned on the drow. In a mighty swing that assuredly would've caved in any skull, the war pick came down, but Nezzenar is able to throw up a hand in time and utter the words to erect another barrier in time. "Release. Him!" He spat, pressing against the barrier and pushing it down further and further upon the Drow.
Nezzenar simply grinned vindictively back in answer.
Anton, Riris, and Mixum/Charlotte are now up!

Anton looks briefly back toward the fleeing Nundro, but trusts that the others will be able to prevent him from getting away and returns his focus to the near-dead drow.
Figuring the dark elf may have useful information for them, he attempts to strike him with his spear in a manner that avoids vital organs (non-lethal damage)
Main Attack: 22 Damage: 8
BA Attack (if needed): 21 Damage: 8
(if Nezzenar is knocked out, Anton will begin pursuing Nundro, moving to E7)
