“Vah jo peedit hai teaches us that sometimes we must push ourselves beyond our limits in order to understand his will!"Shooshar says as he clambers down the remnants of the webs (21). Surprising even himself when he reaches the floor of the cavern he prostrates himself and exclaims "oh great “Vah jo peedit hai thank you for looking after this lowly servant!"
Topsy, Turvy, Sarith and Shooshar easily make their way down to the cavern floor. Sebastian has no difficulty either. Derendil and Eldrik both slip a bit but manage to re-grasp the webs and get down safely.
Ront also easily climbs down the webs, however at some point Six of Eight slips and goes hurtling past those still climbing down and smacks into a section of still extant webbing. He tries to break free (10) and despite his best efforts just manages to wrap himself deeper in the sticky material.
Seeing the large cluster of webs evokes an odd instinctive sense of disgust in the half-drow Izzrak, but he steels himself and begins clambering down.
Jimjar scurries over a bit too eagerly and hastily, and somehow manages to find the one path down that isn't sticky, and begins tumbling head over heels...
Seeing the strange creature struggle in the web, Derendill mutters to himself before making his way over to six of eight, whispers for it to stay still and using his claws will help free it
Jimjar ends up next to Six of Eight with an 'oof' as the breath is expelled from his lungs. He to {0} struggles to free himself and ends up even more tightly locked in the webs than Six of Eight muttering something derogatory about the Gods in a combination of Common, Gnomish, Goblin, Thieves’ Cant and Undercommon.
So most of the party have managed to successfully reach the cavern floor but Jimjar and Six of Eight are tightly wrapped in the webs about 30' up. Strands of web hang to the cavern floor.
Derendil manages to climb up into the web and using his claws free both Jimjar and Six of Eight. Somewhat shamefacedly Jimjar climbs down the web. The party is now standing on the Cavern floor at the edge of the pool almost directly opposite the West passage.
The warforged turns towards Derendil once they reach the bottom and gives him a respectful half-bow. It then turns and scans the area, able see into the infra-red spectrum (darkvision to 120 F) and even the magical realms (detect magic at will) at closer ranges. If it appears clear, he sets off with the others to the northwestern passage.
Once Sebastian reaches the bottom of the web he will look around to try and find a torch or a small pieces of metal to use as lock picks.
Unfortunately Sebastian is unable to find any small pieces of metal. Nor can he find any torches. The Cavern is dimly lit - by phosphorescent fungi - which is all that the Drow considered sufficient to light the area for rock stacking.
Topsy eyes the dangling webs. "Help me," she says to Turvy in Gnomish.
DM, the bro/sis duo would like to gather some of the webbing to use as rope. Using Topsy's crossbow bolt and Turvy's proficiency in athletics, can they do that? Her purpose is to use it to bind dangerous creatures.
Sebastian says "Well its a little dark for me but currently I'm fine. However, I may need some light later on. Also do any of you have something i can use to unlock all of your manacles?"

Topsy: 19
Turvy: 22
As he is the protective older brother, is there a way Turvy could help Topsy since he's proficient?
EDIT: Never mind.

Where, exactly, are we?
Derendil manages to climb up into the web and using his claws free both Jimjar and Six of Eight. Somewhat shamefacedly Jimjar climbs down the web. The party is now standing on the Cavern floor at the edge of the pool almost directly opposite the West passage.

You can certainly turn it into rope - say 50'. It will not have its inherent stickieness otherwise you'd not be able to unwind it.
DM - Stopping a god in his tracks
Great! Despite the impending danger, the deep gnomes work together to collect 50 feet of webbing that could be used as rope.
"Can all of you see? I can light the area, if need be."
