Derrikoth swears in Draconic, "Filthy beasts! Disgusting creatures!" as he flails his sword at the nearest spider (If there are 2 spiders within his reach, he'll make one attack at each, applying Unwavering Mark on a hit).
The spider hit by Nirzeg and Derrikoth is skewered by the both of them, and collapses to the floor between the two of them.
// Clambering over the dead spider is considered as moving through difficult terrain, but it doesn't stack with the tunnel environment that is already difficult terrain. So still just 2 feet of movement cost for every 1 foot moved. //

Lydia can't catch a break in this cold and oppressive tunnel. The spiders avoid her spells.

Swiper's bolt blows through the spider's carapace, killing it. Two down!
(Dex Save: 22)
The remaining spiders advance over the bodies of their fallen, and attack Nirzeg & Derrikoth once more...
Attack: 7 Damage: 4 piercing, and on a hit, Nirzeg makes a DC 11 CON saving throw
Attack: 6 Damage: 7 piercing, and on a hit, Derrikoth makes a DC 11 CON saving throw
(One more spider saving throw: 15)
The spiders are crowding the tunnel such that those in the back ranks (Derrikoth, Lydia, Swiper, Rasa) can only see the spider in front of Derrikoth clearly. If any of them tried to hit the spider in front of Nirzeg with any ranged attacks, they would risk hitting Nirzeg instead.
"Two down. Few left to go."Nirzeg dared to murmur as blade is drawn back, and shield rises higher in defense. Seizing an opportunity in Zeek's slipping past one spider after the other in a confusing course, Nirzeg again brought a vibrating blade to bear with a bark of "Now crumble you eight legged freak!"
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Vibrating Blade - Attack: 19 Damage: 10 of magical slashing and thunder damage and additional 6 thunder damage for volunteering movement.

Lydia distracts the spider with her spell, allowing Derrikoth and Swiper to finish it off with a one-two, chop-shoot combo. The dead spiders pile up inside the cavern.
Rasa has Sparky use his flame seed ability, in an attempt to kill off the last spider:
After continuing and following the path to the left, the tunnel eventually opens up into a small, frosty cavern. This egg-shaped chamber has a flat floor, which is normal terrain. A single natural column supports a domed ceiling 20 feet overhead.
Curtains of icy webbing stretch from the column to the walls, creating an enclosure that holds a massive white spider. The spider screeches audibly, a horrible sound that is deadened by the heavy frost and ice all around you. It attacks!
Initiative time! Anyone who rolls higher than 17 can act immediately.
"Oh great. Just perfect." Nirzeg gasps! "Wait! This is perfect! I need a sample of that one. Time to size you up for the competition, Big D. Do not mind too much I hope." He request as went through the motions of rubbing a bit of iron powder betwixt the finger tips, and then blowing some in Derrikoth's direction. The moment they land upon his armor, the Dragonborn doubles in sizes to match the spider.
Meanwhile, Zeek wastes no time rushing away for some reason or another.
A moment later, Zeek comes yowling to the backline position. And upon catching at least swipper's attention, lands long enough to hiss back the way they came. "Watch yourselves back there. Zeek don't spook that easily without reason."

The big ice spider moves through the webs to attack the now-enlarged Derrikoth, first spitting a web before moving in for a bite.
Web attack: 16 on a hit Derrikoth is restrained in the icy webs.
Attack: 10 Damage: 6 piercing, and Derrikoth must make a DC 11 CON saving throw. He takes 5 poison damage on a failed throw, or half as much on a successful throw.
This giant spider radiates some kind of freezing aura. Derrikoth takes 4 cold damage at the beginning of his turn while engaged with her, as well as 2 cold damage at the beginning of his turn from the icy webs.
Behind Swiper, you see more white spiders rounding the corner, following the fleeing Zeek!
