As Sienna, with Thavriol's assistance, and Alix look over the bloated corpse, you find a large number of hatched eggs. The creature looks like it could be similar to the one that made the tracks. As you look over the creature, you notice some silver coins deep inside the goop and decay. You can reach into grab the coins if you wish, though anyone that does needs to roll a stress check.
Nolla continues to watch the tunnel. As you do though, and the others are searching the creature's corpse, you hear the skittering and sound of tiny creatures moving around the tunnel. Suddenly you see eight tiny creatures, hatchlings that look like smaller versions of the bloated creature climbing up and around the walls of the tunnel and up from behind the creature. Their tiny teeth gnashing, the hatchlings screech at you all.
(OOC - to save waiting for one more roll, Thavriol can kick us off. Once Alix's initiative is rolled, he can slot into the initiative order. Feel free to post your actions against the eight tiny creatures that chitter around you in the tunnel.)
Thavriol draws his rapier, the steel gleaming in the torchlight, and firms his grip on his shield. He steps a bit forward, getting ready to meet the charge of the spider-things. "I will take the point, form up to the sides and watch our rear and above," the paladin says. He glances over his shoulder, "Tyr, I beseech you to grant us your favor in this battle against these creatures of darkness!"
ooc: Cast Bless on everyone else in the party. He will use his Reaction, if applicable, to use Protection: While wielding a shield and a creature you can see attacks a target other than you within 5 ft., you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. His plan is to take a stand in the middle of the corridor, and have the others use him as the point of a triangle.
Sienna surges forward behind Thavriol "I guess stealth is done with this one shouting"
She begins to sing in a hearty heroic tune touching Thavriol on the back and Casting Heroism (thats 4 temp hit points at the start of his turns with her Charisma of 19 as well as the other stuff)
She then backs off a little and holds herself ready rapier in hand and holding the hearty sea shanty

Seeing the others having moved out of the way after their actions, Alix steps forward past Thavriol 15 feet to keep him and the others out of range, and whispers into his black grimoire bound in leathery spiked hide “Tel het krad rams de Hadar krites meth!”
Nolla stabs at one of the creatures with her rapier and as she lunges forward she feels a guiding hand from Thavriol's patron direct her blade to strike the spider-like hatchling. It squeals in pain as it falls to the ground, curling up as it dies.

Four of the creatures manage to fend off the grasping tentacles but are still damaged. The other three, similar to the one Nolla stabbed, screech in pain and curl up as they die in the dirt at your feet.
The three remaining spidery creatures skitter forward. Two attempt to bite Alix for his attack on them and the other on Thavriol as he stands in the way of the others.
Alix:
Bite Attack: 20 Damage: 3 piercing and 5 poison damage.
Bite Attack: 21 Damage: 3 piercing and 10 poison damage.
Thavriol:
Bite Attack: 5 Damage: 2 piercing and 2 poison damage.
If any of those attacks hit, Con Save DC 10 against being poisoned.
Thav feels an infusion of energy from Sienna and murmurs his thanks, all his attention on the foes. He tenses as Alix moves past him but sees it is merely to cast a spell and relaxes as he moves back behind him, but still close enough to be protected by his shield work. As two of the things rush Alix, he chooses his moment carefully and interposes his shield between his teammate and the second spider-thing. He ignores the one attacking him, letting the thing's teeth glance harmlessly off his armor.
ooc: DM, please re-roll the second attack. That's the one Thavriol will impose disadvantage on. Since I figure Alix is within 5', given his movement up 15' and back 15'. Also, are there CON saves to halve the poison damage?
Alix makes a noise that is a combination of snarl and hiss at the first spider creature as it bites him, tearing his clothes. He is startled by Thavriol’s shield suddenly coming into view to block the second attack and he quickly nods his thanks.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thavriol nods back, rocking with the momentum of the strike he'd blocked and uses that to plunge his rapier into the same spiderling, ignoring the one attacking him. "Tyr, guide my strike!" For all the fervor of the words they are but a fierce whisper.
Attack: 9 Damage: 12
ooc: He will use his reaction again if needed, meaning if any of the spiderlings are left to attack anyone and are in range.

Drawing her rapier, Nolla moves to strike at one of the spiders...
Attack: 10 Damage: 6
Bless: 2
Sneak attack, if appropriate: 5
She then disengages, and moves away from the spider, as her bonus action.

and casts Arms of Hadar
Damage on failed save to all creatures within 10 feet: 12

He then moves 15 feet back.
Nolla stabs at one of the creatures with her rapier and as she lunges forward she feels a guiding hand from Thavriol's patron direct her blade to strike the spider-like hatchling. It squeals in pain as it falls to the ground, curling up as it dies.

Second roll for disadvantage: 8
(OOC - the CON save is just to see if you are poisoned - ie, status - it doesn't affect damage unfortunately.)
(EDIT: The second bite misses with that disadvantaged roll.)
(Are we back to top of initiative, or who is up?)
((HP adjusted; for first bite poison:))
CON: 21
Alix makes a noise that is a combination of snarl and hiss at the first spider creature as it bites him, tearing his clothes. He is startled by Thavriol’s shield suddenly coming into view to block the second attack and he quickly nods his thanks.
The order is:
Thavriol
Nolla
Sienna
Alix + Hatchlings
Afaik the last to go was Alix and the Hatchlings so unless there is something we don't know I think its Thavriol
