This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Drow begin to close in on Jimjar and Eldeth as they quickly hop over the side of the bridge, soon followed by Topsy and Turvy.
At this point, Sarith come barreling towards the Drow soldiers with his weapon drawn. “Go, escape!” He yells. You then hear the clash of weapons as he says more quietly, “I’ll hold them off.”
Topsy and Turvy Dex Save: 16
Eldeth Dex Save: 3
Jimjar Dex Save: 6
For the purpose of escaping, why don’t we all now roll initiative.
Shoor Initiative: 5
NPC Initiative: 10
Rian, Shuushar, Stool, Buppido, and Nicholas are all restrained in the webs. Ront as well as Topsy and Turvy have fallen prone. Syvis, Thodek, Cailean, Voyage, Jimjar, Eldeth, and Derendil are all standing upright on the webs.
For reference, the webs are considered difficult terrain, and reach out for about 50 feet before reach the pool you were planning to jump into. The majority of the group is spread out about 40 feet from the edge of the webs.
“Well played, dwarf,” Shoor says with a grim chuckle.
He then casts levitate on himself, hovering a good 20 feet in the air. Afterwards he gives a shrill whistle and the webs begin to shake as you see two giant spiders skitter in to view.
The party is up!
What would you like to do?
(I will update the map to include the spiders and anyone who ends their turn on the webs must make a Dexterity Or Strength Saving Throw to not get trapped.)

Posting out of turn as I'm about to head to bed and don't want to hold the group back. These will be Nicholas' actions on his turn. Strength Save:6 Use Action to try and break free: 4

My second roll wasn't appearing at first for some reason.
Nicholas struggles to break free of the webs, but try as he might, he is unable to do so.
Voyage will cast Mage Hand and use it to pull at the silken threads restraining Rian to help him escape.
"Keep your eyes open," she cautions Ront, Cailean and Derendil as she tries to free the restrained Paladin.
Thodek moves up 10 feet away from Shoor and points to the abyss over the bridge and commands him in a firm voice, "Jump!" (DC 13 wisdom save)
Quickly Nicholas stepping back top open up some space, Nicholas takes aim and fires his hand crossbow at Shoor.

Syvis: You quickly attack Shoor with your shortsword, and he winces as the first strike nicks him (-6hp).
Eldeth rushes forward with a growl. “I’ve been waiting for this!” she says as she makes 2 strikes against Shoor.
Attack: 8 Damage: 8
Attack: 5 Damage: 4
Shoor deftly doges both strikes with a chuckle.
Thodek: Wisdom Save: 15
As Shoor begins to draw his swords, his arms go slack and he slowly turns, vaulting over side.

Thodek turns to the others, “Now or never, let’s go.” And he’ll jump over.

Nicholas blinks in disbelief as Shoor suddenly jumps off the bridge, "Nice one," he says to Thodek as he follows suit and leaps off.
