"The pounding door has no locks, I am not sure I can open it at all," noted Cimeri. To be honest, scratching was not very inspiring - the picture of swarming spiders still haunted her. But she began to work on the lock: 14 +2
The gold symbol on the Tiefling's necklace is that of Asmodeus, a demon prince of the Nine Hells.
Cimeri gets the lock open after a few tries and opens the door. There's a skittering sound as a tiny green and pink scaled dragon scrambles to the back of this cell and looks up at you with big, soulful eyes. It appears to be quaking.
Cimeri did not speak draconic but those eyes were mesmerizing. The urgency and the tragedy of situation were forgotten, and still bleeding wounds did not bother her any more. "Can we keep him?! Please!"
The dragon nods its head at Taman; it brings a fore claw to its mouth, points to its lips, and shakes its head sadly. It rushes to Cimeri and rubs the top of its head against her knee.
If you ever saw one child, that was suddenly given a puppy, you saw them all - this ever cute and touching scene is always the same, even if a child is quite grown already battle tested fighter and the "puppy" is a little dragon. For a moment Cimeri was simply happy! She hugged the dragon and tried to lift him up. "I wish I knew your name! Can I call you Seilin? There is a story about golden dragon by this name, my ever favorite."She was cuing over her (at least for now) "puppy", forgetting everything.
"She wishes to know your name little one." Taman says, though he realizes the small dragon cannot speak. "Please come with us, and we will see you safely out of this place..."
Turning to the Tiefling...
"I am sorry to have to ask you to continue, but we have to check this final door and see if it leads us to what we seek..." Taman informs the girl.
"Yes, right," Cimeri was raised to be responsible girl, it was but a moment of weakness (dragon's cuteness was irresistible). But Cimeri looked at the little dragon again "Can it be that came to me because you knew that other tiefling? In that room" she pointed there and asked Taman to translate her question.
As Scoria moves in front of the door it bursts open, many [about a dozen at first glance] dismembered hands scuttling forward to 'spider-leap' at her, into the hall, out of the chamber, everywhere!
[Roll for iniative all; can someone make a roll for Flynn pls?]
[None of you touched the tiefling corspe or the necklace yet]
Cimeri's eyes glow and the door slams shut, catching some of the hands; fingers protruding from the doorframe wriggle momentarily in pain...and then stop moving. There were probably 3-4 caught; there are still between 8-10 left, attempting to crawl and claw all over Scoria.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Don’t sodding hit me too!” Scoria spins, trying to fling them off her and stamp on the ones on the floor, before grabbing two off her and crushing them in her hands
(Do unarmed strikes count for bonus action two-weapon fighting? Scoria is very good at punching things)
In a whirl of activity, crawling claws are splattered about the hallway; Taman and Scoria manage to squish another three as Flynn squeals in horror and misses with his dagger. Each hero but Flynn (who flees to the corner bend of the hallway and peeks around) is now confronted with one crawling claw apiece.
One leaps at Scoria's neck and tries to dig into her with its claws, almost wriggling under her armor, but without effect. Another scuttles to Taman and somehow manages to find a weakness in his armor [3 damage]; the last leaps at Cimeri and inflicts a bad gash along her forearm [6 damage].
(That's why I changed to the mace, since I don't think Taman would feel very comfortable shooting a crossbow at you... I was not sure about Flynn, so went with the dagger.)

"Can you understand me?" Taman will ask. "We mean you no harm..."

"The poor thing, to be locked up here like this! Should it come with us? We're not too far from the entrance, but it's so small to go it alone"
Scoria will move over to the pounding door - does it look like she could bash through it? 16
"If there's no lock, should I try and break through it? Does the dragon know what's been happening here, what might be behind it?"
As Scoria moves in front of the door it bursts open, many [about a dozen at first glance] dismembered hands scuttling forward to 'spider-leap' at her, into the hall, out of the chamber, everywhere!

If I am not mistaken, Thaumaturgy allows to slam shut an unlocked door. Can Cimeri do just that in hope to break a couple of those hands?
