Eldeth moves to L-11, right at the edge of the platform, and readies her action to throw a fist sized stone at anyone that tries to cross the distant bridge.
Tozer steps to F-10 and tries to clobber the drow, but misses.
(Waiting to see if Xilyra posts an action before proceeding to Derendil)
Not usually too concerned about the odds, Jimjar determines it's best for now, while still restrained, to avoid any melee situations. "A fine idea," he remarks as he sees Eldeth pick up a stone. Jimjar does the same.
Jimjar offers a wager to anyone that is willing to take it, "1 gold I can hit the target and Eldeth here misses!" He moves to L-10 and prepares a stone of his own.

Beegred yells back a different offer: "1 gold split between Jimjar and Eldeth if they both hit these guards with their first toss. 1 gold from each of them to me if they both miss."

Ferriman lowers himself into a low crouch and jogs carefully across the bridge into the room, behind Derendil and Tozer. Once there, he raises himself into a fighting stance, drawing his arms out and away from his body in an elegant sweeping motion. He forces out a deep grunt.
For his turn, Ferry will be using a dash action to move to G9.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Xilyra moves to N-8 and will keep an eye out for any guards approaching from that direction. She will ready an action to Eldritch Blast any guard that comes towards them.

Xilyra moves out of the cell to the top of the stairs and prepares to defend from any assault from the north.
Prince Derendil manages to land obe solid hit that leaves the drow tottering on his feet.
Buppido vainly tries to get out of his shackles.
Ferriman dashes onto the bridge but finds Beegred blocking the entrance. (moving through creatures counts as difficult terrain, and Beegred is also a Halfling)
The other drow moves to block entry into the armory above and attacks Derendil.
Sarith to N6, to make a little more room behind. Doesn't want to get involved in the tower fight, since he is still shackled (I think). Will continue using his 120' of darkvision to watch the webs (KLM) and the northern path (O2) for activity.
Beegred moves to F9 (Derendil's space, temporarily). Whips the chain and punches with his other hand at the Drow (E10) already clawed by Derendil. If it goes down, Beegred will finish his move onto E10. If it doesn't fall, he will move to E8 (opportunity attack by E10 drow).
Chain - Attack: 13 Damage: 4
Punch in the nuts - Attack: 9 Damage: 1

The large spiders are quite adept at avoiding detection in the darkness, their legs splayed out and lined up with the strands of the webs. Yet Sarith knows they are there and has learnt to find them over the years. He sees three of them at this end of the web. He points them out to the others.
(I updated the image in post #255 to show Sarith's new position and reveal the large spiders)
The combat in the guard post has not been silent. The drow themselves aren't raising an audible alarm, but Tozer barks out in his rage as he launches his punches, and all trace of elven gentility is gone from Derendil as he growls and savagely attacks the drow threatening his life. Because of this commotion, a door to the north on the bottom landing opens and a drow pokes his head out to see what is happening. (That would be position O-zero, 40 ft. from Xilyra at the top of the stairs.)
Narstin moves to N-7 to be able to cast Sacred Flame at the drow at E-10.
Drow DEX save: 7
The drow is hit by the blast and there is now a scorch mark across his chest and neck.

No alternate action for Buppido.

Is Ront still chained? If so can he still try to escape his chains or has he already used up his attempts?
Ront is still shackled. He tried to break them, but never tried to slip out of them.
