Gorthmorg (Umbriel) hasn't been online in almost a day, hopefully everything is OK down there.
To keep things moving, let's assume that Umbriel pulls Nyx back down the streambed towards the group a little ways and whispers what he sees to her. Then the pair make their way back to the group and relay their findings.
Baeshra would listen carefully to their description, "I would think an ambush would be in order, should we rush them or let the ranged hit them and draw them to us?"
Lyngheid mused, " If we can get close enough me and Rosie can summon the symbols of our gods and drop them right on the dark elf, that should keep it off kilter. Bugbears are dangerous up close and faster than they look as I'm sure you remember from back aways."
(Sorry, I was travelling and I didn't have access to the web for a while - that's exactly what I would have done, though. Backed away slowly, a finger to my lips, pulling Nyx back to the group.)
"We need to be careful, the drow could be a spellcaster. I'm all for rushing in and surprising them, but we'll need to watch our backs - they may be in league with the flameskull."
"I could always turn that bugbear over to our side for a bit, maybe give the drow something else to worry about as we charge in. Then we can focus our attention on the two in the ravine." Umbriel looks through his pack, and pulls out the scroll of Tidal Wave. "Baeshra, would you like this? I know you are usually in your ...enhanced form, but this might be a good opener for our attack."
Baeshra takes the scroll and reads it carefully and considers the described layout, “Possible, I suppose, but might be better in a more confined area with more than just a couple enemies. Perhaps if we can push these folk back to a hallway and draw out allies, that would be an excellent place.”

No light in this chamber?

Nyx whispers "Umbriel... what do you see?"

How does the party want to proceed?

Baeshra stares at the ceiling for a moment, "How tall is the ceiling in that room and how dark is it?"
(How hard would it be for a character to hold onto to Baeshra-spider's back while he walked on the ceiling?)
"Wasn't that Doppler in the castle disguised as a drow?"

15 feet in the wave chamber you are in now.
20 feet in the chamber with the bugbears, which means the rift is 40 feet below the ceiling.
It would be pretty hard, not impossible. But pretty hard, to hold on while the spider was upside down.
" Yep."
"Whistler made Drow into smush. Not same." whispers Whistler.

Droop holds up his bow: "We shoot them!"
Ireniana nods. "Both are good ideas. Whatever kills them the quickest I suppose."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Alright, what's the plan? Everyone sneaks over to the ledge and then opens up with ranged attacks? If so, everyone roll for stealth!
Umbriel, it's been 45 minutes since you cast False Life. It will take the whole party about 10 minutes to navigate through the old streambed.
Baeshra stealth: 20
Ireniana Stealth - 9

(I'll just hope the battle lasts less than five minutes!)
Umbriel Stealth: 20
