Beegred summons his inherent ranger magics to hone in on the form of the giant spider and fires a hand crossbow bolt into the creature. The bolt disappears deep in the flesh and the spider thrashes violently for several seconds as it dies.
Seeing the large spider defeated, Narstin steps in to help Tozer and crushes one of the medium spiders with one solid blow.
(Derendil, Buppido (death save), Tozer, Xilyrah can now act in round 5)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Buppido death save #2: 15
Despite their still precarious situation, Xilyrah can't help but smirk at seeing another of Tozer's missed swings. "Eh, quarterling. As stuffy as these caves are, I'm surely appreciative of the breeze you're stirring up with that hammer!" she shouts with a wink.
Focusing on the last living medium spider, she attempts another Eldritch Blast.
Eldritch Blast: 17 If successful, force damage: 12
(Good thing for the table. Yes it moved, but still in range for Buppido.)
Buppido, through sheer will, pushes through the poison and stands up, muttering, "Divine. Will." He stabs the little spider and proceeds to shred the thing into stringy bits.
Xilyrah barely catches Buppido's muttering as she releases her blast and the distraction affects her aim, causing it to miss.
Derendil spins around and rips half the head off the medium spider with one swipe, followed by a couple legs with the other swipe. The spider curls up in death at his feet. Derendil pants and growls, claws raised looking for other targets. He's still overtaken by the quaggoth primal instinct to fight and some of you are not sure if he's not about to pounce on you as well.
The massive web approximately 30 feet ahead billows and sags slowly as the air in the cavern circulates. The web is infused with uncountable tiny spiders who are now moving constantly over it's surface. At the moment, they do not appear to be aware or interested in approaching the party.
(The party receives 182 XP for defeating this encounter.)
At the base of the wall of webbing lies several corpses. The air in this passage is damp and water condensation pours off the walls onto the floor, carrying minerals and mud that have half buried the corpses. What isn't buried in the mud, is covered with mold, lichens and fungi. Finding anything of value will require a moment of time to dig, pry loose or otherwise wipe clean.

He invites Xilyrah (light-footed and dark-sighted) to also take a look (seperate roll).

As Beegred and Xilyrah dig the corpses out while keeping an anxious eye out for any other spiders coming down the web right next to them, they quickly gather anything easy and loose. When the group leaves the cave and rejoins the others, you all go through what they've gathered:
A rusted breastplate. It is in disrepair but could be made functional by spending a couple hours wiping the grime off and affixing new straps. (It provides the same AC as a new BP, but it would have zero value if attempting to sell it.)
You find remnants of leather bags and armor. All of the seams have rotted and come undone, so you now have as much leather and canvas material as can be carried given your circumstances.
Mixed up in the mess are bone shards and strands of spider silk that have been soaked in the mineral/grime for some time, losing their stickiness. Yet they remain relatively strong.
Beegred grabs the breastplate. If he batters out the rusted parts and cleans the rest, there will still be enough sound metal to improve his current armor.
He will use some of the stick-less spider silk to tie up the leather remnants into a bundle, so he can carry it easier. He doesn't have a use for it, but maybe one of the others will want to use it later.

"Bone shards and spider silk..." muses Tozer aloud. "Any chance those can serve as needle and thread? To stitch up the leather fragments and armor we've found?"

(While the loot search is happening)
Narstin looks over his allies after the fight and remembers that Buppido had fallen for a moment before managing to get back up, and still looks to be in rather rough shape. Walking over to the halfling, Narstin lays a hand on him and casts Cure Wounds (for 10). Looking around afterwards, he asks, "Anyone else in need of healing?"
(I don't recall how much damage anyone else took :P)
"Bone shards and spider silk..." muses Tozer aloud. "Any chance those can serve as needle and thread? To stitch up the leather fragments and armor we've found?"
"That's a clever idea! Grab more of the spider thread and suitable bone pieces, and add them to the bundle... I don't have tailoring skills myself. Maybe someone can make backpacks or sacks or pouches out of these remnants."

Narstin moves over to smash the medium spider by Tozer with his hammer.
Attack: 15 Damage: 6

(Derendil, Buppido
(death save), Tozer, Xilyrah can now act in round 5)Tozer, still fostering his barbarian rage, turns and swings with all his might at the remaining medium spider...
Melee attack: 18 | Bludgeioning damage: 14
(Last four attack rolls, without modifier: 3, 5, 6, and 4. I'm not a cussing man, but I'm considering becoming one)
Tozer is seeing too much red to be able to properly aim his swing, completely missing the spider and nearly knocking out some of Derendil's teeth.

Buppido, still weak from the numerous bite wounds and poison, manages to swing his spear at the small spider near him.
Hooked spear attack: 21 If successful, piercing damage: 5
(Did that spider move? The table has it at C9 but the map shows it at A10.)

Derendil spins around to slash at the spider behind him with his claws.

Xilyrah joins Beegred and takes a look around the passage, her keen eyes sparkling as looting is one of her favorite hobbies.
