Tozer's eyes glaze over in rage and he launches himself forward (to E9), taking a mighty swing at the very large spider crawling on the cave wall. The blow connects solidly and is so fierce nearly half the spider's legs don't function properly after the blow.
The giant spider takes another pair of devastating blows, legs on one side are now limp and lifeless. The fangs still articulate as it hangs on to life by a thread.
The small spider (@C6) walks across some of the torn webbing and lands on Beegred's and tries to sink his fangs into the shoulder...
Spider bite attack: 21
The medium size spider (@D5) moves with alarming speed on the ceiling above Beegred, where it attaches a strand of silk and lowers itself upside down to Beegred's eye level, and bites...
Medium spider bite Attack: 22 Damage: 7
The other medium spider (@E7) moves directly above Tozer and lowers itself on a strand of silk and tries to bite...
Medium spider bite Attack: 15 Damage: 5
The small spider (@B6), blocked by the medium spider, crawls down onto the floor and up Xilyrah's leg (used dash, end of turn.)
Beegred is bitten by the small spider on his shoulder, takes 1 piercing damage and has to roll a DC 9 Constitution saving throw. On a fail, you take 3 damage.
Beegred is bitten by the medium spider hanging on a silk thread, takes 7 piercing damage and has to roll a DC 11 Constitution saving throw. On a fail, you take 8 poison damage, or half on a success (round down).
Tozer is bitten by the other medium spider, taking 5 piercing damage (halved for rage, round down) and has to roll a DC 11 Constitution saving throw (with advantage). He takes 4 poison damage on a fail, or half on a success (round down).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Beegred mutters a curse at the dice gods. (Probably should have waited until his turn was over.) And a small thanks to his Stout ancestors, when he sees the poison on the spider fangs.
DC 9 CON save w/advantage: 17 (1 damage + 0 poison) (half for save, and half that for Resistance)
DC 11 CON save w/advantage: 18 (7 damage + 2 poison)
Time for short sword payback on the medium spider.

The spider successfully manages to web Derendil in place. (Derendil is restrained. Action DC 12 Strength check to burst the webbing, or attack and do damage to it.)
Buppido takes 2 damage and must roll a DC 9 Constitution saving throw. On a fail he takes 2 poison damage.

Seeing Beegred bitten by the spiders, Narstin wants nothing more than to rush over to heal his ally. But knowing how limited his spellcasting is currently and how dire their situation, he knows he needs to save his healing for when it's truly critical. They can't afford to carry unconscious allies all the time if they want to keep away from pursuit. Instead, he settles for moving over and smashing the medium spider with his hammer.
As the giant spider tries to limp away, Derendil reaches out and rips out one of the few remaining functioning legs. The spider collapses and one remaining leg scrapes into the ground as it tries to pull itself, but its efforts are futile. Ichor leaks from its many wounds. The giant spider is done for.
Narstin moves to help Beegred (to B6) and the tiny spider remains in place clinging to thin strands of webbing. Narstin clocks the hanging medium spider with his hammer, sending it swinging on its silk thread. The spider spasms constantly, but it doesn't appear dead yet, although by looking at its wounds, it should be.
Tozer just growls and foams from the mouth a bit as he pushes through the poison coursing through his veins.
(Buppido still needs to make a CON save. Then I will update thread with map and combat table for round 1. In the meantime...)
A large spider with different coloring suddenly appears next to Derendil and bites (with advantage)...
Bite Attack: 22 Damage: 5
The little spider that was on Narstin moves to Buppido and bites...
Bite Attack: 11 Damage: 1
(Derendil, Buppido, Tozer and Xilyrah can act in round 2)
With barbarian rage still coursing through his mind and muscles, Tozer grits his teeth, steps toward the strangely-colored giant spider, and levels another swing with his maul...
Melee attack:18 | Bludgeoning damage, including +2 from rage:13
(Remember, Derendil is restrained in webs. His attacks should be at disadvantage. Doesn't matter this round, he missed anyway.)
Tozer takes a step towards the new giant spider and with clenched jaw swings his maul at it. This spider is more nimble and anticipates the threat, shifting aside to let Tozer's swing miss harmlessly. The spider then shifts and faints again and again as Derendil swipes with claws and also misses.
(RIght, switch targets)
Tozer's eyes glaze over in rage and he launches himself forward (to E9), taking a mighty swing at the very large spider crawling on the cave wall. The blow connects solidly and is so fierce nearly half the spider's legs don't function properly after the blow.
Buppido aims his crossbow at the spider Tozer maimed and fires:
Crossbow attack: 8 If successful, piercing damage: 8
‘The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.’ - Buffy Summers
Xilyrah focuses her Eldritch Blast at the large, maimed spider as well.
Eldritch Blast: 24 If successful, force damage: 7
‘The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.’ - Buffy Summers
Buppido loads a bolt into his light crossbow and fires at the giant spider, but by making sure not to hit Tozer, he misses altogether.
Xilyrah also tries to hit the giant spider, but her projectile misses as a chunk of rock next to Tozer absorbs the blast.
(Derendil left.)
Derendil lets out a roar and follows Tozer over to attack the spider on the wall, slashing at it twice with his claws.
Attack: 14 Damage: 8
Attack: 21 Damage: 6

(Nice! Sorry I didn't look to see if you had Poison resistances.)
Beegred slashes twice and carves off a couple legs, and stabs one of several eyes. The medium spider is looking rough.
The Giant Spider, injured and near death will try to web Derendil and run.
Ranged Web Attack: 19 Damage: 0 (disadvantage for being in melee)
(Derendil and Tozer get AoO's.)
A small unseen spider crosses the thin webbing and lands on Buppido, biting at him...
Bite attack: 24
The spider successfully manages to web Derendil in place. (Derendil is restrained. Action DC 12 Strength check to burst the webbing, or attack and do damage to it.)
Buppido takes 2 damage and must roll a DC 9 Constitution saving throw. On a fail he takes 2 poison damage.
(Narstin's turn.)
Derendil AoO (with disadvantage from restrained): Attack: 16 Damage: 5

(The medium spider that bit beegred)
Attack: 8 Damage: 9
CON save (w/ advantage) for Tozer: 25
So, in total, Tozer loses 3 hit points (2 piercing + 1 poison)

With barbarian rage still coursing through his mind and muscles, Tozer grits his teeth, steps toward the strangely-colored giant spider, and levels another swing with his maul...
Derendil rounds on the spider that just bit him with another roar of anger and pain, retaliating with his claws.
Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Attack: 7 Damage: 8
