Since Tozer is at N2, and Beegred at O-zero, that quaggoth has to run by both of them to dive off the platform. Beegred will take the Opportunity to slash it with a short sword.

With a savage fury, Tozer swings hard at the fleeing quaggoth, but only manages to give it a good strong push as it jumps off the platform. In mid-air, the quaggoth slaps hands to its side to staunch the blood from Beegred's attack and Tozer's contribution to the leap causes it to go tumbling end over end.
From the top of the stairs, Jimjar belts out, "Wager won! Come see me later for your gold. I always honor my debts!"
Eldeth tries to make sense of the new developments, and her mind is flooded with conflicting thoughts. Why did I put away my bow? Do I go ahead and make the jump? If I stay where I am, do I complicate the escape for the others? What chance does Tozer have against that damned spider?
The scout knows that she and Xilyrah are choking off the only escape route; so, in the end, Eldeth crosses the slippery region of the stairs (Acrobatics: 9) and, if successful, moves to P2.
Eldeth takes a dwarvish standing leap over the first five feet (5 ft of movement) of slimy stairs and as flying dwarves are wont to do, she messes up the landing and falls prone. Standing up (15ft worth of movement) she gets down off the stairs and rounds the corner (to P2). (No action used).
The giant spider notices the non-drow on the platform and fresh from a kill it eagerly moves forward to the edge of the webs, level with the platform and launches a web attack at Beegred...
25
… securely restraining him to the door of the lookout with a wet mass of webbing. (DC 12 STR check to break out of it, or someone can use attacks to cut Beegred loose)
Sarith: will move over a bit (N10) until the stairs are clear. Takes a crossbow shot at the spider.
Hand crossbow Attack: 15 Damage: 4 (Assuming that is a hit, the spider has a DC 13 CON saving throw or be poisoned.)
Ront: will use his Bonus Action for Aggression (additional movement). Ront builds up some speed, charges in the direction of the spider, and throws the dead quaggoth he is carrying at it. (Assume it does no damage, but the dead meat might distract the spider, or get in its way.) Before he gets in melee range, he turns right, jumps past the slick stairs (16' jump), and continues running off the platform for the water below.
Beegred: Uses his action to try to break free of the web. (STR roll: 4 ) Uses his Bonus Action to transfer the Hunter's Mark to this spider.
Beegred is a little upset that the quaggoth got away, and now this spider is being a pain. Uses DM Inspiration for a second effort to break free of the web: 18 (Phew... That is a lot better.)

Sarith takes a step to the side and fires at the furthest of the large spiders, hitting it near where Valthana did.
Spider CON save: 7
Ront takes a step back up the stairs to gain some room to run, throws the quaggoth body at the engaged spider, runs, jumps over the slick stairs, keeps on running and leaps off the platform.
Beegred struggles against the thick wad of webbing plastering him to the door and after seeing a weak point, applies his strength appropriately to free himself. (still have movement)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Xilyrah, following Ront's lead, also takes a step back to leap across the the slick stairs and slips in the blood and fecal matter, but manages to get up and dives into the water below.
Dex: 8
Buppido was fully intent on hanging back until all of his companions were safely in the water, but seeing the spider lose consciousness he decides to start making his way down the stairs as well. He begins his way down, stopping about halfway (O6) to stand guard with his crossbow awaiting the passage of the others.
(The spider is currently prone and unconscious. Buppido might shoot it anyways, but as I suggested in the OOC thread, would be better to wait until everyone has run past it.)

Narstin takes a running start down the stairs to make it across the foul mess. Upon reaching the landing, he sees Derendil on the ground and rushes over, but is unable to do anything to heal the quaggoth. He sees others starting to jump off the landing, but gazes back and forth between Derendil and the edge of the landing, then with a grunt kneels down beside the quaggoth and does his best to stabilize his ally, even if he can't heal him to bring him back to consciousness.
Medicine: 21
He looks to the others that haven't jumped yet. "Someone help me carry him with us. We can't just leave him while the rest of us escape!"

Xilyrah sees the excrement on the stairs and gives herself enough running room to try to vault over it, but the distance is too great. Her landing is less than graceful as her backside is now covered. As quick as she fell, she stands up to keep running and leaps off the platform to the water below.
Buppido descends partway down the stairs, watching what is occurring and readying his crossbow should something attack.
Jimjar dashes down the stairs, leaps cleanly over the slick stairs and vaults off the platform to the waters below.
Narstin runs down the stairs and leaps over the mess, landing next to Derendil who he attempts to help, but doesn't seem to make any impact.
Tozer turns to face the giant spider and swings to make an attack, but is reluctant to get close enough and misses.
Ferriman makes a second death save: 10 and succeeds. (1F, 1S)
Valthana waits for Stool to cross the bridge, then she scoops him up and moves down the stairs (to N6).
The remaining quaggoth in the lair makes a desperate attempt to live and runs across the platform and launches himself off it, into the waters below.

Beegred slashes a deep gash in the side of the fleeing quaggoth.
(Tozer?)
Tozer lets out an angry growl, and he swings his maul at the fleeing quaggoth...
Of course.

With the dancing lights illuminating the stairs, Valthana is able to see the giant spider make its attack and retaliates with her readied bow...
Longbow Attack: 17 Damage: 8
… sinking the arrow shaft deep in the spider's thorax.
(Everyone can act before the spider goes again... Eldeth will have to go last.)

"I'm with you dwarf!" responds Tozer to Narstin. "The Prince is one of us. Give me a moment!"
The barbarian then turns and swings his maul at the giant spider, hoping to eliminate the group's nearest enemy...
