Poljen curses as the webbing ensnares him. He growls and almost without thinking he sinks into battle madness and uses his sword to free himself, planning on then moving towards the horrific monster… he manages to yell, "Lia! Shoot the beast! NOW!"
Out of Character: : Rage, Reckless Attack for Advantage to negate the Disadvantage against the webbing. If he frees himself, he would then move to engage the beast. No idea if he can reach it this round… I will include an Athletics check in case he needs to climb up.
Azbara considers for a moment, "I would suggest searching again, they would not likely have left it out in the open. I do not have an easy means of getting another scroll, with or without a person holding it, to you in the timeframe suggested."
"If the scroll is truly lost, I never bothered pinpointing exactly where that facility is, but you are in the Cloud Peaks yes? There is a neutral medium I trust in Baldur's Gate. I can get a scroll to him to make an exchange there. Of course, that would require holding onto the merchandise for a longer period, but I doubt you could find another buyer in that time regardless. That part of the world loathes slavers. Think you can manage?"

Fay thinks on this creature and then he remembers, his youngest sister, always the smartest one of the bunch, studied creatures odd and natural. She told of some creatures that Tiamat created during her wars, but Fay thought them all destroyed. "Ware" he says, "This creature is a spawn of the dragon slut Tiamat. She twisted the form of her own children to produce creatures that could each fill a certain slot in her mad drive to rule. This is a Blackspawn Stalker and was created to ambush predators and act as guardians. They are an unholy blending of a black dragon and a giant spider and possess many aspects of both. It spews webs and its bite is like a touch of acid."
Cratol will look for a way to move along the edge and out of the way of the monsters sight to see if there is any other guardians besides this one. If not he will continue to work his way towards the eggs via the edges of the chamber and then see about approaching the eggs from the far end to destroy them.
Round One
Fay slashes wildly at the webbing around him, but is still caught up in a few strands. Lia rushes up and starts working to free her son. She has just cut away the last strand when another mass of webbing crashes into her back. Fay finds himself bound again, and his mother is caught beside him.
Cratol moves far into the room, skirting around the edge. He does not see any sign of any other creatures like the Stalker, nor any other hiding places for such. The ledge the Stalker is perched on is however deep enough that something could easily be behind it.
Velon, Mari, and Onwen all fire off at the Stalker, unfortunately only Velon scores a hit.
Poljen manages to free himself, rushes at the wall, and begins to scale it.
"Fay, how do we kill it?!?!?!?!?"
Velon repeats his earlier attack, stepping out for a firebolt and taking cover once again. If only he had a way to taunt it into coming after him so they could take it on the ground.
