Koldur crawls down the hole, ignoring the spider carcass at their feet pausing only to make sure there isn't anymore spiders in their area. The internal liquids from the spider making it slightly easier to slide down.
Oscar looks at the dwarf as he climbs down the hole.
Good luck to you he says as he stands guard
No evil.
Koldur climbs down swatting at spiders the size of his hand or smaller. Most of the spiders look to be going after the blood coming from above.
Koldur you find three bodies, two medium and one small down in the vertical tunnel.
Oscar will climb down after the dwarf in order to make sure everything is ok
Xara stays topside, grimacing at the spiders that crawl up. She keeps a look out for reinforcements for their friend.
Perception:
With a grunt Koldur begins to bring all the bodies back up, caling out to Soren.
"Ya. Kill all those damm spiders coming out. We don't need tht spider's spawn becoming that big either. I'm bringing out some bodies. Hopefully we can bury them right. Then I'm likely tunneling. ooof Sorry Oscar."
No worries Koldur i came down to give you a hand he says with a smile
DC 17 to climb up the hole with one body, Koldur will need to make 2 checks to secure the body and bring it up.
DC 15 to climb up or down the 40 foot vertical tunnel via the webs. To get to the bottom will take 8 checks where the other two bodies reside.
You could take a 10 but not a 20.
Problem for Koldur, with your climb checks by the time you get to the third check you have slammed into the bottom of the vertical shaft.
If at the edge, likely just Sable and Oscar, a Dex check DC 15 will be high enough to grab the dwarf.

Sable sees his friend in distress and tries to grab him before he falls. Though he is not fast enough.
Sable follows his friend, though hopefully not as painfully. He also will secure a rope around his waist and the pommel of his horse, and asks, "D please guide the rope as needed."
He moves down to the first body.
He secures the first body.
He falls but only a few feet with the rope securing him.
With the aid of being pulled up he climbs up out of the hole.
"Now with the body out of the way, let me down to get Koldur." Assuming he has the aid of his fellows the rope is slowly let down and he goes down to the dwarf.
"How are you doing old friend?" He asks as he nears the dwarf.
Loosing his grip and flailing wildly, Koldur makes a faster trip down. Stout, strong and tough like a boulder and thus Koldur falls like one. Bouncing off hard walls and finally landing on his rump hard enough to rattle all his bones. He sits there.
When Sable reaches down to him the old dwarf is still sitting there now puffing a pipe.
"Shaken but not stirred me friend, me bones and me rump be hurting but let me be a while just sitting and a puffing. This old dwarf be needing a little rest." He grimaces as he says this.

"Hell we are still both recovering and then you go do that." Sable says and slaps him on his shoulder. "I can tie the bodies to the rope, then we can see about getting us up there as well.."
As he said, Sable secures the two bodies to the rope and calls up to have them hauled up. They wait for the rope to be thrown down to them again. Soon enough with the guidance of the rope the two can get out easily as well.
The group now has three bodies to search and choose what they will do with them.
For those who keep watch and those who search please do perception checks. Also if you are searching please describe what you do.
It's obvious that Koldur is bruised and battered but the old dwarf is simply to proud to admit to such hurts. Helping the rest to search the bodies, he has only one recommendation for such a place.
"Burn it all out. They're a menance." wincing as he says this.
"The concern, gentlemen, is that setting fire to this webbing may very well set fire to the whole area. It is fairly wet, however, so we might be able to contain it."
I am letting those more knowledgeable than I decide simply said oscar
"Whichever works best. I guess." Koldur nods in deference to Xara.
"This area still needs to be cleared so that in future no one else will be ensnared by this spiders."
sounds like a fine plan to me Sable
The tunnel webs burn with the oil. Many little spiders come up out of the tunnel.
Koldur starts killing spiders.
An hour passes and many of the little spiders that ran from the tunnel have been squished or sliced. The smoke is barely seeping out of the tunnel now.
Great now that this treat has been cleared lets resume our exploration shall we?
"Yes Let's." in full agreement with Oscar.
Xara is ready to continue explorations.
The group moves on to begin exploring once more... Heading NorthWest.
The group gets on their mounts...
Heading into the forest for the next two days, it takes less time to forage but it takes more time to travel so it equals out still to two days.
Xara are you still flying, and thus over the trees, or traveling below with everyone?
As part of the first day Koldur gets a small hair-do done, his hair turns green. How strange.
Koldur doesn't notice his hair going green but considering that the old dwarf seldom looks up. Ambling along as he is, not noticing anything out of the ordinary.
Xara occasionally flies high, to look for smoke flumes, but spends most of her time with the group.
She's quick to point out the green hair, of course.
turning in a certain direction
Oscar will set foot and draw his weapon
Look over there a group of goblins or kobolds are hiding in a patch of large onions or other such vegetables
Oops! Xara must have been distracted by the green hair.
Xara tries to look in that direction, but doesn't see what Oscar is talking about. "If you say so," she says doubtfully, and readies her spear, following him.
Koldur tries in vain to get the green off his hair or what remains of it.
"Durn it! How it got there?"
Oscar's comment though catches his attention and his axes appear in his hands immediately.
"Kobolds? Where? Hostile?"
Once the group is within 80 feet of the patch you can see several small humanoid, such as goblin, gnome, or kobold are standing around in the patch.
Oscar will move again in order to be 60ft away from the goblin group
Xara follows the others, still mounted on Reafan.
They can surrender peacefully and no harm will be done to them and judgment can be pass on them
Oscar once again moving closer
Kobolds i can see you in the Onions. This will be you only chance to lay down any weapon and Surrender he simply says
"Oscar, let me,"Xara says, stepping forward with her arms raised. She begins speaking a harsh language.
The kobolds stir as you advance towards them. The guard wakes up and quickly points his spear in the direction of movement.
The other kobolds draw their weapons as they slowly get up. Though as they look to one of the kobolds they all lower their weapons at the kobold with the red hat signals for them to do such.
Xara translates for the others, waiting for their input before responding.
