Alacorta, fly up far from the spiders. You can´t bite so many. Having asked Alacorta to not risk harm for nothing, Keera tries to remember somthing useful about those swarms as she picks her own alchemist´s fire.
Knowledge nature:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Alchemist´s fire to blue:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d6 ⇒ 2Lowdamage,but at least the swarm will continue burning

Keera will move near Sele to cure him: Surely you want to be fully healed before find them, don´t you?
Vaisil sees no other bodies down in the pit. The body of the man, however, has many threads on it.
The threads are attached to the limbs and head, like a marionette, revealing someone or something was playing this body like a puppet.
...
act 4: Mazmezz’s Shrine
Past the clearing, you see sight of a tunnel.
The tunnel opens into a large cavern. Thick layers of sagging webs choke the room from floor to ceiling.
Beyond the mass of tangles, jade flames burn about a rough pyramid-shaped dais, bathing the whole chamber in an eldritch green glow.
Gruesome carcasses and human-sized cocoons dangle from ghastly strands. In places, walls are covered with worn-out bas-reliefs and faded markings. The air smells of dust, decay, and death.
Perception rolls please.
Dreadful question, walking in a line or side by side again?
Vailis renews his shield spell once at the shrine if it has wore off.
"This is just such a creepy place. I propose we advance in a zig-zag line. I can set myself just to Sele's side if needed" says Vailis while loading another bolt and casting light on it.
That spell had worn off long before....
You haven't seen the shrine just yet, being at the entrance of the cave, but i'll take you up on it, if you so want.

In my opinion, side by side. In front Sele and Alacorta (who can´t fall as he goes flying), with a 10 ft gap myself and Vailis, and in the back rear Wulfren, with another 10 ft gap. This way don´t fall all at once, so I can cast feather fall when Sele fails his next relfex save ;), Vailis and I are well placed to cast spells, and we will let a clear sight for Wulfren to shot
Let me prepare ourselves before entering. Want some light Sele? Or anyone some magical aid?
Keera will cast light on Sele´s sword, if he wish, and some guidances As much as GM allows
Guidances 1 per person, but yes you can give a guidance charge to everyone.
Navigating through the clear paths between the many webbing, you take a quick observation of your surroundings.
Sele, much to his relief, spots something.
A large stone slab is partially suspended nearby.
At the obviously marked area 'T'.
But it needs DC 20 disable device to disarm.
"Well, none of us has the skill to disable that trap, so I suggest to trigger it in a controlled way. Please, move behind and leave some space I will summon something to go and do the trick" says the half-elf as his magic sparkles around his right hand.
If the party accepts trying this solution...:
The summoner calls an augmented small earth elemental. Once at place he makes him to burrow through the rock and force the top stones to drop.
Augmented: +4 Str and +4 Con to the normal small earth elemental
If he cannot understand the order, he simply requires him to step over the trap to trigger it.

If you´re going to summon an elemental and needs to talk with him, I´ll sugest air or water elemental. I can talk with them.
I´m also ok with the idea. Alacorta, please, come back to me, some rocks are going to fall from the ceiling
One question. The spider webs cover from floor to ceiling, or Alacorta can fly over them?
Suddenly, Keera feels a set of teeth sink into her shoulder, as the ugly head of a humanoid with an ugly arachnid head springs forth from the webbing, biting her for 4.
As the foe engages into combat with the party, the Earth elemental moves to defend his summoner's party allies, burrowing below the web and through the earth, appearing just next to an enemy and hitting it hard.
Ref vs web needed?:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Vailis steps to the side to have a clear shot out of cover, and let's fly the lighted bolt against the foe in front.
mwk light crossbow-Precise Shot:1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17 Penetration damage:1d8 ⇒ 8
Anything moving through the web needs DC 9 escape artist or DC 12 strength checks, save for these things. ^^
The elemental fails to land the hit, Vaisil however, manages to get in a bolt at full force.
As one spider-thing is hurt, a friend of his pops up behind Vailis.
Bite:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8Dmg:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Claw:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11Scrape:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Claw:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12Scrape:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
It misses on all attempts.
---------------------
Sele, Keera & Alacorta, go!

Wulfren, don´t let Chyro make your rolls. Don´t you have learned anything before seeing Sele´s saves? ;)
Wait a moment Alacorta, you´re going to enjoy this. Says Keera moments before moving away from the ettin and casting bull´s strength on Alacorta.
All ready, go for him, continues Keera pointing the nearest creature.
Wulfren, don't listen to her :) , it's the dice bot, the dice bot!
Empowered by Keera's spell, Alacorta lays waste on the creature for 22.
But it still stands...albeit barely.
--------------------------------------------
Ettercaps, round 2.
Green Bite:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11Dmg+poison:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
It falls over from over straining itself.
The earth elemental borrows again below the party and appears in front of the enemy to slam at it.
Slam-Power attack+Earth mastery:1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 16 Bludgeoning damage+Power attack:1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 3 = 9
On the other side, Vailis casts a corrosive touch spell and tries to touch the spider-like humanoid with his hands to make its skin corrode.
Corrosive touch (touch):1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 Acid damage:3d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10 If I fail the touch AC at least I will keep the spell for later.
The creature gets an AoO as I did not cast defensively.
The half-elf steps to the side leaving a clear shot for Wulfren.

Fort save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Fortunately Keera fights the poison for this round. Need more saves?
Anyone making a Climb DC 15 can get up to the spider-thingies' nest.
The altar is old, musty and not taken care of in...forever.
Kn. Religion DC 20:
The shrine is dedicated to the demon lord of vermin:
Mazmezz, the Creeping Queen.
Mazmezz is often worshipped by the more natural but no less disturbing surface dwelling spider creatures known as ettercaps, as well as the Drow and Driders.
Vailis looks up into the webbing.
Perception:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9
"Perhaps Alacorta can fly up there so we do not have to climb" says Vailis, looking at the altar while guessing what kind of god might be worshipped in such a musty place.

Alacorta can fly upthere, but he knows little of potions or coins. Let me try to climb Sele´s rope.
Climb:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6Dicebot hates us, but if there´s not a big penalty for failing, Keera will eventualy pass the check. A she don´t risk damaging herself if she falls
