Given their previous encounters with Gas Spores, the party keeps a healthy distance from the creatures and attack them from range, causing them to detonate. Then, slowly moving forward, Rodolfo chain casts Gust to push the spore clouds out of the way, leaving the walls and stalactites blanketed with the lethal substance.
After a grueling 6 miles of progress, the party settles down for a long rest. They find themselves a natural cave off to the side resplendent with stalactites of all sizes and a source of filthy water bisecting the upper portion. Camp is made, food is eaten, and the group rests in shifts.
On the third shift, Beegred struggles to remain awake among the soft burbling of the stream when..he hears movement up among the stalactites, from two different directions!
(I have placed your foes on the map. Now choose where you all decide to bed down for the night and we will go from there!)
Beegred snaps out of his half slumber at sounds coming from above. As he scans the myriad stalactites, he becomes aware of a creature weaving around the rock formations. As the creature arrives above Beegred, it drops down to the ground below, a snake-like creature with four tentacles around a vicious looking beak. In the moments it takes to decide what to do, Beegred hears a second one approaching, but not yet near.
Beegred lets out a loud Tarzan yell, to wake the others. (Hoping that is a free action or a bonus action.)
If he still has his Action, then he uses to to strike at tomorrow's lunch. (If lizard-snake is palatable. Goodberry, day after day, gets boring.)

Springing into action, Beegred stabs at the creature hap hazardously as he looks towards the others and lets out a bellowing yell to wake them. Then, when truly focusing on the creature before him, his second blow strikes true, inflicting a brutal wound to the creature.

With a snort and a grunt, the bugbear awakens at Beegred's scream and looks around and sees Beegred and Jimjar facing off against a creature. He lumbers to his feet grabbing his greataxe and moves towards them snarling....and swings his mighty axe
Narstin jerks awake at Beegred's yell, looking around to take in the situation. He picks up his shield from where it lies beside him as he climbs to his feet, leaving the hammer for the moment while he launches a Sacred Flame at the same target as Rodolfo, then summons a Spiritual Weapon beside him it well, which swings at it immediately.
After Rodolfo's volley of magic missiles slam into the creature, Narstin's sacred flame misses, but causes the creature lurch right into the path of the spiritual weapon, which crushes what it has for a skull.
Meanwhile another creature slithers on the ceiling and drops to the cavern floor, next to Jimjar and Narstin (@E15).
Beegred has lost track of G1, so he runs to E14, uses a bonus action for Hunter's Mark on G3, and swings the magic short sword.

Narstin considers the danger ahead of them as well as the surrounding area, trying to think of the best way to lead the creatures away or bypass them.

Jimjar rushes in with his pick: Attack: 11 Damage: 6
Jimjar springs from his slumber and charges the creature, pick swinging. And it deflects off the creature's thick skin.
Glabbagool seems to wake and moves toward the party out of curiosity...
END OF ROUND 1
The creature facing Beegred reels at Jimjar's attempted attack, and it decides...
Roll for target: 1
... Jimjar is the lesser threat, attacking Beegred.
Tentacle Attack: 21 Damage: 9
It wraps its tentacles around Beegred, shashing his flesh, and then tries to chomp down with the beak...
Beak Attack: 15 Damage: 6
... which Beegred manages to avoid.
(OOC - I'll assume its Skameros' turn?)

Rodolfo does magic missile at first level against the same target : 12. It's actually 1d4+1, so a total of 9 force damage.
Narstin jerks awake at Beegred's yell, looking around to take in the situation. He picks up his shield from where it lies beside him as he climbs to his feet, leaving the hammer for the moment while he launches a Sacred Flame at the same target as Rodolfo, then summons a Spiritual Weapon beside him it well, which swings at it immediately.

After Rodolfo's volley of magic missiles slam into the creature, Narstin's sacred flame misses, but causes the creature lurch right into the path of the spiritual weapon, which crushes what it has for a skull.

(Beegred's turn)
Beegred has lost track of G1, so he runs to E14, uses a bonus action for Hunter's Mark on G3, and swings the magic short sword.

After Beegred viciously stabs the second creature, a third creature, this one much more stealthy, falls from the ceiling on top of the corpse (@ E13).
Glabbagool moves forward and tries to engulf the third and the corpse...
G1 DC 12 DEX saving throw: 17
... successfully engulfing both. The living creature takes 15 acid damage and anyone watching can see the dead one visibly being dissolved.
(Jimjar's turn)
Jimjar takes a good long look around to see if more is coming: 12
