Oloric, not knowing what he can do to help Izzy fires a shot at the Spider Lord if he can else the swarm will be hit. A bolt of fire leaps from his fingertips shooting towards his foe. Attack = 16, Damage = 5.
Malik will await to see what happens as he has nothing useful to contribute at this point.

Oloric fires a bolts across the top of the lair through the balcony and at the Spider Lord. The webbing around the giant spider begins to ignite.
Hraken seeing the spider fall from the wall pick up a good sized piece of rubble and drops it onto the fallen spider. (attack (advantage 18 damage 12).
Malik ?
The spiders are all now responding to the attack next round. They are in fight or flight mode. They would need to climb the 15 feet to the balcony or 30' to the roof.

Malik will just ready to attack any spiders that make it towards the southern end mumbling about this bring a fools errand when we have so little time to waste. He isn't willing to move into the spiders area.

Frozen and pinned under a large rock dropped by Hraken the first giant spider struggles to free himself and can not. The second giant spider crawls to the north wall below BA. He fires his webbing up at the ranger and the cocoon strapped to him. The webbing splats on the bottom of the balcony missing BA. (had advantage and a +5 only needed a touch and I rolled a 4 and a 3! I suck.) The furry giant spiders both scurry into holes in the wall south. Their holes end in the garden area behind the party above. Hraken and Paelius hear the movement in the garden behind and see the giant wolf spiders. They are 10 feet behind the main party on the garden level. Izzy is handing on the wall outside of the balcony. Blackarrow needs to climb up the rope with a body (athletics DC15 because you pulling for 2) Spider giant 22 ,BlackArrow 20, Izzy 20, Hraken 20, Spider Lord 19, Fargrim 17, Oloric 12, Malik 11, Spider Swarms 6, Paelius 5 Attachments:

"Oh for pity's sake, this is EXACTLY what I didn't want to happen!" Izzy mutters to himself and runs along the wall over to give BA a hand with the limp captain. [Help combat action, BA gets advantage on his next ability/skill check. We should be able to get him up on the roof now, and out of the immediate combat.]
[On Fargrim's turn:] Fargrim lights up the swarm with another Sacred Flame cantrip for YET ANOTHER damage 1 attack. [DC 13 Dex save, if they wanna bother.] His brow furrows, and he mutters "'Ey, Mulhammor, me lord, ye might wanta step it up a bit there. Th' unfaithful are watchin'!"

Hraken throws a boulder at the spider below Izzy and Blackarrow. His bounces of the spider crunching him.
Paelius will slow the GWS (Giant Wolf Spider) closest to him with his ray of frost.
The spider lord is backing away from the fire and the swarms are scattering. (swarms are out of combat as they have fled).

OOC: Sorry for my silence the past few days, for some reason the site kept giving me a 404 error, but whatever was wrong was apparently righted...somehow. Hopefully it won't happen again.
As the flames begin to erupt behind him, Blackarrow starts his way up the rope. He struggles with the weight for a moment, but feels the load lightened from below and sees Izzy aiding the lift. "My thanks!" he calls as he and the captain make it over the ledge onto the balcony. As he gets to his feet and detaches the fellow, Blackarrow sets both hands on the rope to prepare to pull his ally up.
Athletics: 16/20 thanks to the advantage! Thanks for the assist, and that extra success allowed me to return the favor! I know Izzy can probably handle climbing no problem, but considering the failure result is severe burns, I figured some insurance wouldn't hurt.

Oloric seeing danger moving in behind the group follows Paelius and lobs fire onto the wolf spider that is slowed hoping to finish it. He connects but does minimal damage. "Hurry up we are surrounded!" He yells to the group.
(Attack 17 damage 3)

Malik moves in for the kill. He hits the wolf spider nearest Oloric which seems to have a clear path around the mushrooms and goes to work. Hitting once, twice, three times the spider falls and Malik tosses a handaxe at the reamaining wolf spider to finish it off.
(Attack 26 damage 8. Nat 20 and double success. Offhand attack 13 for 1 damage and extra attack 13 for 5 damage. Thrown handaxe attack 13 for 5 damage).
"No we aren't " Malik remarks.

The spider lord crawls out of the burning room to the north. The swarms have dispersed. The wolf spiders and giant spiders lay dead. As Izzy and Blackarrow carry the captain across the roof and back to the party the old herbalists witch approaches.
She gently begins to pore a thin liquid into his mouth just a small amount and then begins to cut back the webbing and applies a salve everywhere she finds bites of infection. "He may need more help than my skills can give. Priest of the Dwarves do you have any blessings left you can give him? If not there is a lab below they had the alchemist and myself work in. It had many agents and potions left over from when this keep held the living. The priestess of the moon is also below and could bring her goddess blessings."
Blackarrow sees his friends face is ghostly white his limbs look almost drained. His body is covered in bites both large and small.
In the room below the fire is spreading over the webbing in the main room and the balcony room.
The sky above is darkening. Clouds are beginning to move in ways that go against the pattern of the wind. They seem drawn to the skies above the Keep.

"Aye, if Mulhammor wishes." Fargrim kneels beside the stricken captain and intones a deep dwarven prayer for healing. [More specifically for Lesser Restoration: removes one disease/condition from target, i.e. Poison go poof.]
Izzy looks suspiciously at the sky. "That's bad, right? I mean, I'm not a weather sage or anything, but that's bad, right?"

Malik agrees, "I can't imagine those clouds are a good sign for sure. Now that we've saved the captain we need to make way to wherever this transference is going to happen and stop it before it's too late!"
"We still don't know who this is being done to or where." Looking at the elderly woman, "Do you know?"

"North of the balcony room leads to the Baroness audience chamber. She has the Captain's son prepared for the ritual there. TO the west of it is a larger sanctuary where the priestess is being forced to perform the ritual of necrotic fertility and a few hundred goblin maidens." The witch states as she cares for the Captain.
"And you will never stop both in time!" A voice calls and you see the hobgoblin standing on the tower to the west of you again. "but if you allow the ritual to be used on the goblins I will pull my men and women away and allow you to deal with the Wight."

"...well, we can always go kill the goblins later, if it comes to that. Thing is, we're here to rescue all these excellent townsfolk and find out what's going on here, not split the team and get chewed to rags. I vote we take the offer and go deal with her Excellency the walking corpse." Izzy looks around at the rest of the crew.
Fargrim frowns. "I'm loath to allow such an abomination to occur, nor am I happy to let those goblin vermin replenish their numbers. But the boy's life and soul are at stake here, and the unholy creature that dwells here must be dealt with. I must reluctantly vote with the young smartarse here." He glances over at Izzy. "No offense." Izzy snickers.

Malik frowns, "The greater good would dictate we should stop the goblins. 3 months and suddenly we have the start of an army. But I do so enjoy slaying them and it is not as an immediate of a threat. I will go where the rest of the group agrees."
Oloric thinks out loud, "I'm here to save villagers and get paid. Let's find the captains son and save the rest. If the Baroness gets in our way that will be her mistake."
Let's head to the ceremony.
