Eng will life link with the rest of the party.
"Ghûn can lead, do you want to go next Orett? I'm happy to go second, third or fourth, doesn't matter to me."
I'll go next, than Eng, last Daardra
The party enters through the dark archway and approaches the massive spider form.
As they move forward the path fills with a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands. DC 20 REF save to avoid being caught in a web effect.

Any PC caught in the web also takes 2d8 points of acid damage each round; DC 20 FORT save for half.
Where did webs come from? Who/What caused them?
"Stone spider."
"G's right, its a statue, with gems."
The web seems to be some spell-like effect. You are not sure of its origin.

Daardra and Orett must make a DC 20 CMB check or similar escape artist check elst remain trapped in the sticky webs and take another 2d8 of acid damage.
Anyone moving through the area similarly requires a DC 20 REF save to avoid getting caught up in the webs (per description above).
Daardra has a strange sense that the spell somehow came from the spider statue.

Do we have to go through more webs to reach the statue?
The statue is 30' inside the stone obelisk and the party will have to pass through the webs to get to it or the altar.
“Wanna try burning the webs?”
I could try Dimension Door to get us past the webs.
“Can you take everyone with your spell? And do we want to save that in case we need to flee? Trying to burn it costs us little to no resources, I can use my flaming sword.”
I can carry 2 more people and I can cast it one more time for the return trip, but give the flaming sword a try.
Eng touches his flaming blade to the webs and they quickly burn away, as easily as a hand brushing away cobwebs. He is quickly able to create a path forward after a few passes with his sword.
A hideous chittering screech of anger is heard as three purple creatures swarm out of the webbing near the altar. They walk upright like a man, but their faces are those of a spider, and their hands are sickle-shaped claws.
Party action; melee attacks require DC 20 REF saves to avoid being snared in the acidic webs.
Cast Burning Hand, hopefully getting all 3 and some webs.
dc 17 REF for half
As soon as Daardra flames the spidermen, Ghûn moves forward to engage one of them (biggest/baddest looking one).
Eng tries to follow G through the webs:
What in the nine Hells? I followed his footsteps exactly, didn't I?
Orett?
Move forward and attack!
Two of the nightmare creatures dodge aside completely avoiding Daardra's flames and maintain their position in the webs, while the third is not as fortunate and receives some burns and being clear of webs, Ghun's attention.
Eng is dazzled by the magical blaze and stumbles head first into the webs, taking tons of caustic damage DC 20 FORT save for 1/2. As Eng stumbles into the webbing, he jostles Orett throwing off all of his attacks.

Ghun connects for a second time, cracks appearing on the creature's chitinous shell. Eng struggles with the webs, finally cutting his way out but taking (DC 20 FORT for 1/2) while doing so. Daardra heals. Orett teams with Ghun to take down the critter not attacking from the webs.
A coruscating ray springs from one of the gems on the spider statue striking at Ghun: if hit take (DC 20 FORT for 1/2).
A whirling storm of scarlet-banded spiders scuttles out of the webs and attacks Eng! He takes of damage and needs a DC 17 FORT save to avoid taking damage.
