" I prefer Kraven-dono to scout the other path." Answers Gintarou looking at the compass."The chamber on the left isn't only treacherous, it's hellish! Some of us might get burns even with those magic stones. And although I've only stayed in this cave for less than half a day, I can tell that someone or something behind that door isn't a friendly welcoming soul. If we can avoid that chamber, we better avoid it. "
A gaseous stench permeates this room. In addition to the sulfurous smell of lava, the chamber smells vaguely of rot. Strange underground fungus and lichens grow across all the surfaces of the room, forming a strange jungle of green and white mushroom bulbs. Through a breach in the side wall, a bulbous form with long spikes - like twisted antlers - can be seen laying in the center of the room. Upon closer inspection, it’s clear that it is the corpse of a giant spider lying on its back; the “antlers” actually its legs curled upwards in death.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Well that is not ominous," Druquilla remarks after hearing about the dead spider. "So our choices are fire hellscape or a possibly poisonous one, lovely."
Druquilla will go in far enough just to attempt to examine one of the mushrooms to try to tell if or how dangerous they are.
On the north wall of the room, several pinpricks of red and dark black start to wink in the darkness. On each, what appears to be an eye peers out you, the eyes then float to you Druquilla. There is a center larger eye that must have been closed as you were walking in, then a set of 6 smaller eyes. (No its not a beholder)
Druquilla I made you a blue square with white border, Kraven yours is green, everyone else you are in the purple area by the entrence.
Kravens beak falls open when the creature starts to move towards Dru and he will take a step or two back so he can see the others and frantically wave for them to quickly move into the room.
He will then step back into the room and to the side clearing the door while drawing his shortbow out.
"Well luckily the mushrooms seem fine," Druquilla comments "We should not have to worry about those at least."
"I don't see a..." Druquilla begins to answer then stops as she spots the eyes winking at her. As the creature floats towards her she takes a few steps back and draws her shortsword defensively, waiting to see if the creature is hostile or just curious about her.

"It would appear so!" Druquilla shouts back as she pulls her net from her belt and tossing it onto the creature, hoping to tangle it up long enough for her to retreat back towards her allies.
Mist pokes his head in and sees what's happening. "Oh it's a right cuddly little flying ball of vitreous fluid, innit?" he says as he backs up further from the doorway. "Let me know when you've got 'em paper trained. Can we go now?"
Kraven's arrow hits the creature and it explodes, Druquilla make a Dex check for me to see if you move out of the way fast enough (It is at disadvantage due to exhaustion) DC 12
On a fail make a DC 15 Con saving throw (no disadvantage it is a saving throw.)
Mist sighs and shakes his head as he walks back to the rest of the group, barely hiding a smirk, clearly content letting someone else embarrass themselves this time.
Kraven will hop off down the corridors and head toward the other passageway (red dot).
Stealth: 25
Perception: 16

"Well?" Mist asks loudly as he walks up behind Kraven. "Did we find the star or what? This place gives me the willies. Let's get a move on!"

The creature lashes out with one of its tendrils at you Druilla. 7 to hit, 1 point of poison damage, and make a DC 10 Con Save (no disadvantage).

Gintarou you would not have been able to reach the doorway and throw the axe.
Druquilla your net lands on the creature, and is restrained. Do you want to leave it?
