nDevere punches a spirit but it is still attacking. Drasven, you will be squeezing with nDevere unless you drop into another square. Since the bads are last others may take their turn too.
ROUND 1
nDevere-25
Zavar-15 is up!
Windom-14
Drasven-13
Cass-9
Bads-3
Two medium size creatures can straddle opposite sides of the rope when climbing down. More than two is squeezing.
nD-ground
Drasven-5' from ground
Cassandra-10'
Zavar-10'
Windom-15'
I should have required two climb checks for each move action which is 1/4 of your speed rounded down, or 5' for most. Accelerated climbing allows double climb speed with -5 penalty.
Windom doesn't make progress initially, but is currently adjacent to Drasven five feet from the ground as they cling to the knotted rope. Thankfully, Windom's light illuminates the rope and menacing threat.
Seeing the spirits surround nDevere and the bottleneck at the bottom of the 20 foot rope, Zavar decides to quickly climb back up and cast arcane bolt at the injured spirit from a safe position.
One of the spirits dissipates into thin air. Cass is up!
@Drasven: I need three more climb checks from you unless you accelerate climb. One for the surprise round and two for Round 1. Zavar only need one climb check before the surprise round and then one Round 1, because he did not have a surprise round action and chose accelerated climb.
@Everyone: See climbing application for Drasven and what distance you are on the rope.
nDevere, please make a reflex save. 200+ lbs of dwarf is falling on you. You can attempt to catch him or step out of the way. Strength check to catch him and remain standing.

nDevere shifts her stance to give the dwarf a place to land. She reaches out and braces for impact in hopes of guiding the dwarf to an upright landing, but serves instead as a flesh & bone landing pad.
Drasven's grip slips and he plummels into nDevere knocking her to the ground. Both of you are prone and bruised. A second later Cassandra drops to the caverns floor while channeling positive energy.

Cassandra, Windom, Cassandra and the spirit are suddenly encampsulated with sticky webbing shot from the west! The creature is unable to be seen under the current cirmstances as the webbing obscures your vision.
Web:
Web (Ex) Creatures with the web ability can use webs to support themselves and up to one additional creature of the same size. In addition, such creatures can throw a web up to eight times per day. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50 feet, with a range increment of 10 feet, and is effective against targets up to one size category larger than the web spinner. An entangled creature can escape with a successful Escape Artist check or burst the web with a Strength check. Both are standard actions with a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 creature's HD + creature's Con modifier. Attempts to burst a web by those caught in it suffer a –4 penalty.

Windom and Zavar are not on the ground and based on where the web token is...am I right to think nDevere is entangled, pinned under Drasven's weight (more than double my maximum load), prone, under water (knee high is deep when you are lying down), and at least no longer shaken
You are standing at the top if the cavern hole 20 feet high and saw your friends get webbed from Windoms light spell. The baby spiders that you are carrying are suddenly very excited.
DC 13 Nature:
You can expect the spider to come out soon and eat its stationary prey.
Zavar sends his dancing lights to illuminate the cavern and tunnel. Zavar and Windom get a glimpse of a long-legged spider at the end of the tunnel. The spider has cover at the moment from both of you.
Cass, Drasven and nDevere are unable to see the spider until they break out of the webbing. If they were not prone and stuck to the floor, then those with darkvision would have seen the spider before the dancing lights appeared.
They can attempt to break out of the web during their turn in Round 2 with a DC 19 strength check or successful Escape Artist check, both standard actions.
@Windom: what would you like to do?

Once Drasven is no longer on top of her, nDevere will slip her shoulder joints loose and wriggle out of the web.

Then she stands up into the adjacent space (since the one she in is occupied) and gasps for air. provokes from remaining spirit

Is the Web flammable? If so what is the damage for being burnt by it (1d4, 2d4?). If it is a low amount he will light it on fire to free those below him with minor damage.
Natural webs are venerable to fire and not as combustible as magical webs.
Nature DC 13:
Each 5-foot-square section of web has a number of hit points equal to the Hit Dice of the creature that created it and DR 5/—.
Nature DC 18:
This spider is a giant black widow. Its poison is especially strong and so are its webs. It is immune to mind affecting spells and has tremorsense of 60'.
Arcane DC 17:
The strands of a web spell are flammable. A flaming weapon can slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs. Any fire can set the webs alight and burn away one 5-foot square in 1 round. All creatures within flaming webs take 2d4 points of fire damage from the flames. Natural webs are treated differently
Windom continues climbing down. Drasven attempts to break through the webs.
Drasven STR:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 failure
Current Conditions:

Drasven-webbed, entangled, prone
Cassandra-webbed, entangled, prone

Windom-5' from ground, flat footed as he climbs rope (spent Surprise round, Round 1 & 2 climbing, failed twice, DC 5)
The spirit floats toward Windom and attacks.

The black widow moves toward Drasven using its pedipalps to hold the webbed dwarf while its large fangs bites into his flesh.
Strength Check vs DC 191d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Non Lethal - 8 dmg

Damage from Spider - 18 dmg
Total Lethal Damage - 26
Non Lethel Damage - 8
Conclusion - Drasven isn't getting up anytime soon.
I am out of combat and likely to be dead soon.
Drasven doesn't move even when the spider bites him, his body lying exactly where he is, the blows from spirit, spider and fall doing him in.
You will need a strength check or escape artist check as a move action to stand up since you were webbed to the ground. DC 14. It is a DC 19 to break out of the webs.
1d20 ⇒ 14
You were successful!
Will Zavar and nDevere save Cassandra from the poisonous spider?

nDevere looks for weakpoints on the spider. Then makes a couple of jabs at the mandibles with little effect.
From roll20: exploit weakness 21, hits ac 13 & 27 for 4 & 3 damage respectively.
@nDevere: Does your attack rolls include the exploit weakness +2 bonus?
After taking a punch or two and cold damage from Zavar's ray, the spider steps on a prone, webbed, poisoned, and badly wounded Drasven with its 500 lb frame and attacks Cassandra.
Spider bite:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Two of its eight legs slip off the webbing that nDevere broke away earlier. Its bite wildly misses in a fit of hunger rage.

@GM yes, I sure hope we aren't facing a CR11 creature. Also Cassandra's channel would have been enough to awaken Drasven. He would be at 4/30hp with 8 nonlethal (and therefore unconsious) before and 10/30hp with 2 nonlethal after. assuming 34 was his level 4 max before the con damage
nDevere reevaluates the spider. And lands a right cross and a left hook on the flailing legs as the spider stumbles over Drasven.
From roll20: exploit weakness 18, hits ac 19 twice for 5 damage each. (exploit bonus included)
Two CR 3 encounters which is considered challenging for party of four level 4 PC's. This encounter is a foreshadow that the dungeon is deadlier than the other areas of Harrowstone. I previously thought you would not level again, but it is probably you will hit level 5 by the end.
