You do not find anything in the room. You approach the door and seeing nothing in the way of traps you open the door. You see a room that is not quite empty. Three large spiders head towards you. I need initiative rolls plus combat rolls.
"Don't go too far!" Durgan says fearfully. "Stick to the doorway, and shout when you're injured."
He pulls out his wand and prepares to cast Cure Light Wounds if anyone requests it.
Sessativa leads Durgan up to the doorway, waiting for a spider to come through and attacks it with her quarterstaff.
Out of Character: couldn't we have simply closed the door on them or would they have the ability to open it?
Zork curses his ill luck but orders his dog back so he isn't hurt.
Out of Character: Yes you could have but you have moved into the combat. So that option is off the table. No I do not think spiders can open doors.
In Character: The spiders jump closer to you and begin to attack. Zork is hit for 2 damage the rest miss. Sessativa attacks back missing as does Zork.
Next round everyone misses everyone else.
Third round a spider gets a good bite on Sessativa, 7 damage. Zork is missed. Zork is able to get a good hit on a spider for 18 damage.
Fourth round Sessativa is bit again for 4 damage. Durgan is able to heal her for 8 points. Zork is missed but he hits the spider for 6 damage killing it.
Out of Character: a natural roll of 19-20 is a critical hit with a long sword. So the 9 damage turns to 18. I did not use all six rolls yet I just went four rounds as that is all Durgan and Sessativa rolled.

Out of Character: I can't believe I forgot to include initiative! I even went back to check what die it was!
I will even out the number of attack rolls, then roll 6 in the next post.
I hope you don't mind if Durgan saves up that second roll for healing whoever gets injured next.
Also I'm including poison saves, even though you didn't ask. Rolling a few more for the next few bites.
Out of Character: Is Durgan going to try to battle of staying back to just heal? You do not have to worry about poison with these spiders.
Next round Zork hits a spider for 6 damage. Sessativa hits one for 1 damage. The spiders had missed you.
Round Six The spiders get a good bite on Sessativa for 6 damage. Zork misses and Sessativa hits for 3 damage.
