Noah draws in a short breath as Falenas falls, but is relieved when he realizes his comrade to be alive, if with a damaged pride. He looks around to the others briefly, before speaking.
"Very well. If anybody has any rope left, now would be the time."
While the others contemplate retrieving Falenas from the pit, Maelfearance steps over the hole and parts the curtain again, walking through to its opposite side.
For Maelfearance:
This entire cavern is bathed in a bright blue light. Throughout the room, long strands of sticky rope hang from the ceiling. A kobold wearing a skull as a hat and using a human femur bone as a staff stands at the opposite end of the chamber, next to two others that are panting. Behind him is a huge pile of discarded bones and smelly refuse. As if waiting for your entrance, he grabs a metal lever sticking out of the ground and pulls it back, laughing maniacally.
DEX Save: 16 Web: 12
You look up just in time to see a cage of bone, dangling from a rope of spider silk, falling from the ceiling toward you. You roll sideways, leaping out of its trajectory, fractions of a second away from being trapped underneath it when it plunges to the cavern floor with a boom. However, a thick, sticky substance slams into your back, coating you and trapping you to the floor. Your eyes follow the web's flight to a massive spider emerging from its hidden spot among the webbing, at least ten feet tall and wide.
OOC: That concludes the actions readied by the enemies. Since Maelfearance is the only one in the room, I will roll standard initiative (so that not all the enemies can gang up on him if they beat him in initiative). If/when the others join in, I will use their average as usual to determine their place in the turn order.
Initiative:
Maelfearance:16
Kobolds:11 Kobold Shaman: 22 Giant Spider: 10
The skull-helmed kobold thrusts its arms forward with a chant of "Shezcha!"
The entirety of the cavern ahead of you and above you fills with a thick, roiling cloud of fog. The mist obscures all but the giant spider bearing down upon you.
OOC: It is your turn! You are currently restrained by the spider's webbing.
For Noah:
For a brief moment when Maelfearance steps through the curtain, you see a flash of the bone-covered ground beyond, but not much more.
Seconds after Maelfearance passes through the barrier, a tremendous thud vibrates the floor of the chamber. A muffled, high-pitched shout follows.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Maelfearance will curse and cast Magic Missile with each of the darts going to the only attacking creature he can see, the spider. (Damage: 5). "So you are no friend after all," Maelfearance growls. "You and you sniveling charges attacking those who come in peace. I curse you all!"
Mael will of course struggle against the webs, trying to free himself. (Is there any save he can make to break free?) He will also use Hellish Rebuke as a reaction upon the first creature that damages him. (2D10 damage, half if creature makes their Dexterity saving thrown...)
((Magic Missile damage should be 7. I entered dice roll wrong so it only added +1 to the whole 3d4 instead of each d4 rolled..))
When Yevele hears Falenas hit the bottom of the pit, she starts to stand up, only to be pushed down by Ryona. While Ryona finishes tending her wound, Yevele says "Maybe we should check for other traps before we pursue those two."
After Ryona finishes up with healing her, Yevele will get up and offer her rope to help Falenas get out of the pit.
OOC Did the last sentence get missed?
After helping Falenas out of the pit, Yevele hears the giant thud and Mael curse. The young monk will pull the curtain aside to see what is going on beyond the curtain.
Hearing Maelfearance's curse, Ryona follows the path he took to the curtain, and seeing him caught in the web, she grabs him by the belt and pulls hard in an attempt to free him.
Hearing the now familiar clamor of struggle shortly down the corridor, Noah treks behind the rest of the frontline of the party, hoping to come to the aid of Malfearance. Upon reaching the scene, Noah skids to a halt behind Ryona and readies a Ray of Frost to greet the first enemy creature that comes within his sight. (If the spider is within sight, he will simply cast the spell at it normally.)

Ryona and Noah burst through the curtain in time to see Maelfearance, stuck fast in thick webbing, loosing glowing darts into a massive spider descending upon him. The darts rupture one of the beast's many eyes, but it continues toward its prey. Ryona wrenches her wizard companion out of the webs, freeing him to move, but ends up replacing him as the spider's targeted meal. The spider, scuttling down the wall, leaps onto her back, inserting fangs deep into her neck and removing a part of it. Noah's beam of cold energy flies past harmlessly as Ryona falls, blood pouring from her wound.
Falenas climbs to the top of the pit, opening the curtain with Yevele in time to see their companion dropping unconscious in front of a massive cloud of fog, through which a pair of arrows and a burst of flame come forth toward Maelfearance, nearly felling the wizard as well.
Round 2 Order: Players <===== Enemies
Placement: The giant spider is in movement range of all characters. Other enemies within the fog cloud are unseen.
Health: Ryona is unconscious and dying (0 successes, 1 failure). Maelfearance is lightly wounded. Noah is lightly wounded.
Once she tears Maelfearance free from his deathwish, she releases him and reaches for her spear while looking up at the spider. She thuds to the ground as the spider lands on her, and she grunts just before the spider almost rips her head off. She struggles for only a fraction of a second before the flood of poison to her head causes her to go limp.
((Rolling death save elsewhere, sending via PM to Barty))
Yevele will immediately attack the giant spider, first with her quarterstaff9 Damage: 6 followed by a [Tooltip Not Found] damage: 4
ooc I just realized that I had been using the damage for using a quarterstaff with one-hand. I had always envisioned Yevele as using two-hands on the quarterstaff, so that is now corrected.
((No Hellish Rebuke as a reaction to the damage since I cannot see them, I suppose?)
"Since when do such curs know magic?" Maelfearance will ask himself but seeing Ryona down he';; cast Toll the Dead upon the arachnid for 1 necrotic damage as the creature has already lost some HP.
OOC: Hellish Rebuke's casting time is unfortunately "1 reaction, which you take in response to being damaged by a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see". Because the source of Maelfearance's damage is unseen within the fog cloud, hellish rebuke did not take effect this round, however it is certainly still valid for the next round if the spider damages Maelfearance.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing his companion fall, Falenas shouts "I can't heal her! Can somebody else do it? If not, we have to get her out of here" Falenas then move his hands in circular motion and cast Hex on the spider. Then, he will point at the creature with one of his hands and cast Eldritch Blast.
OOC: Botting Noah for this round with an Ice Knife at the giant spider.

Suddenly outnumbered, the giant spider focuses its defense at Yevele, nimbly backing away from the monk's quick strikes, bowing beneath the magic energy emanating from Maelfearance, Falenas, and Noah. The creature skitters backward again as the sorcerer's ice shard explodes. Dark green blood drips from the spider now, and it seems weakened by the necrotic magic assaulting it.
The spider coughs up another thick bundle of webbing; this time it wraps around Yevele, planting her firmly in the ground and restraining her before it backs away from the party, into the midst of the roiling cloud of fog, coated blue by the bright light of the ceiling, that now separates you from your attackers and heavily obscures the rest of the room.
Round 3 Order: Players <===== Enemies
Placement: All enemies are within the fog cloud and unseen. Within the fog, you (and presumably the enemies) are blinded.

Yevele will attempt to break free from the webbing: 16. If she manages to free herself from the web, the monk will quickly bend down to see what she can do about Ryona's wounds: Medicine13

Hearing that his compatriot was ok, Maelfearance will continue past the curtain and continue after the wretched beasts.

OOC Did the last sentence get missed?
After helping Falenas out of the pit, Yevele hears the giant thud and Mael curse. The young monk will pull the curtain aside to see what is going on beyond the curtain.
OOC: It may have been missed by Falenas. He can use the rope to climb out of the pit this turn.
For Maelfearance, escaping the webbing requires an action (Strength check), so he can't quite do that in the same turn as a magic missile.
See my profile for all my PbP threads!
((Unlikely to have such strength anyway..))
(OOC: Sorry! Missed it)
Falenas will use the rope to climb out of the pit, thanking Yevele and joining her at the curtain to see what's going on.
Hearing Maelfearance's curse, Ryona follows the path he took to the curtain, and seeing him caught in the web, she grabs him by the belt and pulls hard in an attempt to free him.
