Not sure if you're going east or west, but one of the paths is blocked so...
Cobwebs burn behind Tianni as Mee'haïl advances with his torch in the narrow passage. The big, gelatinous, giant web strings continue to run above you until see one of them attach to something. Unlike the other webs you saw up to this point, this one is very hard to notice and Mee'haïl only saw that one by chance. A bit late, though, and you see Tianni stumble on something.

Tianni, you feel that your left foot got stuck on something and you lose your balance. Make a DEX saving throw DC 15 to stay on your feet!

I'm playing the amnesia route, everything being very hazy for him. Maybe his last memories are having a luxurious drink with his paramour before everything went black. I like to imagine he was drugged/beaten by an unsavory sort, ditching him to die in the spider cave. I felt this could give you as the DM a couple of avenues to spice things up if you wish, or it could be dropped there and Bug can live out a new story from here on out.

OOC:
The exclamation is even more appropriate after your roll!
Tianni you lose balance and fall down but, to your surprise, you barely hit the ground. Your fall was stopped a few inches above the dirt and you seem to be floating mid air... until you notice that you are unable to move freely. It takes you a second to realize that you walked on a fresh and sticky web and fell onto it. And now you are stuck on it, face down, in an awkward position.
OOC:
If you try to break free from the web on your own, give me a STR check with disadvantage.

  Seeing as Tianni went tumbling into the webs, I approach her with worried expression.

— Do you need help, frriend?

Bug grabs a quarrel from the quiver at his hip, sliding it quickly into the knotch in his crossbow.
"Cut her free, quick." He says in a quiet flat voice, looking about expectantly. "If there’s web, there’s spiders."

Bug, as you look around to check for incoming spiders, you notice that the vibrations from Tianna's web are passing through some kind of big semi-transparent web string above you (the one spotted by the rest of the team earlier).

Some help would be appreciated, friend!

She tries to wrestle her way out of these webs.

Some strings seems to break as Tianni wiggles but she ends up more stuck than she previously was, and start to feel a little bit like a fly caught in a web that makes its situation worse with every move...
Jul 18, 2018 10:23 pm
Bug, your intuition was right : you hear the typical hissing of giant spiders responding to their catch! They are far enough to be barely audible... but close enough to be heard!

Edit: you hear that sound echoing from somewhere east

  I try to burn away the web strings, keeping it at a safe distance from Tianni's body while doing it.
Jul 18, 2018 11:32 pm
"Hurry up now, they're coming," his voice low and flat still, but edged with an urgent worry.

But when Bug speaks again, his deep voice is different. "You can do this, if you can snap a demon's horns you can handle a strand of silk. Come on, get yourself outta this." His charm carries through in this moment; these simple words carry a rich compassion, heavy with loving faith that breathes power and strength to Tiani.
OOC:
Bonus action: Use Bardic Inspiration on Tiani. Given a 1d6 inspiration bonus to use at will on d20 checks.

Due to the moisture of this kind of web, you have a hard time trying to set them on fire. But at some point, one of the strings catches fire and burns with an unexpected intensity. Fire spreads slowly on the web but it will certainly hurt Tianni if it reaches her, which should happen within seconds.
Tianni, you've got one last saving throw before the fire reaches your right leg. Entangled like your are in the web, it won't be an easy task! One good thing, though : the fire weakens the web, and you are no longer at disadvantage for your roll.
OOC:
GM note here to remember you guys to not forget the (modified) Inspiration mechanic. People tend to forget about it, yet it can give you an edge in sticky situations ;)

  As fire goes out of my control, I drop the torch to the ground and begin hacking at the web with handaxe, trying to help Tianni to get free...
OOC:
Help action to grant Tianni advantage :)

Tianni, that will be a STR saving throw with advantage and possibly Bardic Inspiration VS a 20 DC.
Jul 19, 2018 4:33 pm
Tianni attempts to break free of the webs, but still cannot break free.

Mee'hail. Burn me free. Fire doesn't hurt me quite so much.

She clenches her jaw preparing for the burning sensation that will ensue.

Does Mih have any idea what would be better and/or faster - burning or cutting those webs?
Jul 20, 2018 12:01 pm
The web seems to burn pretty slowly, you don't know for sure how long it would take for the fire to extinguish. So it would be safer to cut her free. You can achieve with your next action but you'll have to endure some small burns too.

That's okay; she is resistant to fire damage.
