Valrish looks a bit closer to the spider figure. "Oh... Okay." He calms down a Little. "Are those gems?" He says, picking one of the shining eyes from the statue.

PbP Characters Valrish (Dragonborn // Barbarian 6) - Out of the Abyss - play by post
Grimnir send a telepathic message... "hummm, guys I'm pretty sure I saw something moving here, and I'm not talking about the statue" (OOC can I try again to find out what I saw moving ?" ; if so Perception : 22)
"Valrish ! Check for booby-traps, riches on these statues of gods are rarely left without protection !!!"
Oorr tries to see from the rope ladder what there is on the floor below.
You can't make out much without going further down, but you see what looks to be black draperies around the edges of room, and the edge of what might be a platform filled with more pillows and cushions. A bed perhaps?
As Valrish plucks one of the black gem spider eyes from the statue, an actual giant spider bursts forth from beneath the pillows and makes a direct line for the dragonborn. Grimnir yells out to Valrish as he realizes just a moment earlier what was hiding in the cushions. The creature bares its fangs as it leaps.
(OOC Okay, a lot happening all at once. Grimnir, you can take a reaction/opportunity attack as the spider races by you to get at Valrish. And then everyone roll your first initiative of the game!)
(OOC Edit: AGAIN?!? Also, for the damage, will you be using the dice or the default damage? For example, in the giant spider entry, for the bite attack, there is a default damage (7) and a dice damage (1d8+3).)
Grimnir thinks quickly and slashes out at the spider, cutting into its legs the beast runs by. It seems to barely notice as it charges at Valrish, though the blow may have given the dragonborn a few more precious seconds to react.

(OOC I prefer to roll all damage dice, and I'll be doing that here using the forum dice roller, so you'll be able to see all my rolls. I think it makes it more interesting, and you have as good a chance to take lower damage as you do higher damage from the default.)
(OOC I think in order to help things keep moving even if we aren't all online, anyone who is above the spider in initiative order can go ahead and tell me what you want to do and make a roll for it. If you want to coordinate and go in order, that's fine too. I'll hold off on the spider's action until Belwar has rolled initiative. Belwar, if you roll more than a 6, feel free to go ahead with your action as well.)

Belwar lights a fire directly under the spider as it passes by Grimnir. You hear it shriek as it tries to avoid the flames.
([ability]Dexterity[/ability] saving throw: 21 (DC 13)
It manages to avoid being singed, but you can smell the acrid burning of the hairs along its legs.
