"Well, let's grab any weapons we might be able to use, and move on."
Kellan waits for the others to do anything they need to in this room, and then heads for the northern door.
The northern door opens to an L-shaped hallway. The floor of the small hallway is partially blocked by heaps of stone rubble. A skeletal human hand protrudes from one pile of rubble. The debris looks old, and the few sagging strands of web draped over the rubble seem to have been here for some time.
It looks like the debris fell down from the ceiling, where a cavity remains. In the center of the cavity, about 15 feet above the floor, a 5-foot-diameter irregular hole or shaft rises up into the darkness.

"I'll admit I didn't read that book," Ilya replies to Redke.
"As a small child I read many books, mostly fiction though. When I joined the temple of Irori, I think I was fourteen, I read many other books. Mostly about different fighting styles used by monks."
Perception, new room:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
As she steps into the L-shaped hallway, Ilya takes a look around.
ououou... Vayu shakes the skeletal hand, then drops through the floor, into a spiked pit below. To Redke, the contraption that makes Vayu fall is oddly familiar - another trapdoor in the floor.
"Umm... Vayu, that's Ketill's job..." Redke holds back a laugh as he looks from where Vayu was to the spider, and almost as an after thought, Redke says, "That's the same trap as before..."
Redke then starts glowing faintly as he picks up some rubble and throws it at the spider with his mind powers!!!

"No better time for this, I'd say." Kellan says as she pulls out the scroll of fly and casts it on herself.
caster level check:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 (trying to beat a 6)
No better moment to be a fly than when a spider's around, eh?
Despite the spider being only barely visible from her vantage point, Ilya still manages to hit it with her acid flask, burning the white chitinous outer layer and dissolving the strands its holding onto.
The spider moves to the trap door, shutting it down and sealing it with some strands of webbing.
The spider has resealed the trapdoor and now has total cover (i.e. cannot be hit) from anyone above.
"Irk!, exclaims Vayu, trying to say something ... anything.
Instinctively he flicks his wrist, causing the attached weapon cord to fling his pistol back into his hand. Knowing this shot may decide his fate, Vayu collects himself, aims at the dark figure his black and white darkvision is allowing him to see ... then he squeezes the trigger while slowly exhaling.
Ranged Touch:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Damage with up close and personal:1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (5) = 10
Deafened and blinded, Vayu is completely deprived of his senses for a moment. When vision slowly starts seeping back in he sees the legs of the spider, twitching, moving. Bracing for the cold, poisonous bite of spiders fangs, he notices - it isn't happening. The white spider, he now clearly sees, lies belly-up on the ground, the loud blast having torn its abdomen open. Vayu is on his own now.
Swiftly reloading another cartridge Vayu scans the pit and slowly rises, the spike sliding back through his abdomen, streams of crimson blood running down the shaft, forming a dark, viscous pool on the floor.
Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Now on his knees, and bent forward, Vayu grasps the golden key hanging from his neck and calls for the divine healing powers for the first time since the clerics taught him the prayers.
clw:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 : HP: 6/16
He feels as if he did not do it quite right ... but at least the bleeding stops.
Calling from below, "What was that book ... the Children's Chelish Guide to Adventuring ... I think I may need a copy as well ... "
assuming he saw nothing on his earlier scan
"Daddy longlegs is dead, but I would be most appreciative if you all could get me the hell out of here!", after the exertion of hollering the pain in his abdomen makes Vayu unleash an agonized groan.
The pit below the trapdoor is a simple spiked pit. An alcove on the side is just large enough to house a spider. There is no exit to this place, except of the trapdoor, which is now glued shut with spider strands.
Vayu struggles to his feet pulling out his rapier with his off-hand and starts cutting at the webbing, while his right hand, tightly gripping the pistol, presses against the now sealed, but quite painful spike wound.
"The demon-beast sealed the door shut with its goo."
Redke walks over to the pit, taps it a couple times with his foot, looks around and says to the group, "Yupp, it's sealed... I'll get it ready so once Vayu gets it less ... stuck, we'll get him out."
Taking 20 on disable device for 33, while Vayu works on cutting the strands
Looks like we need the backup rouge... anyone have a 10ft pole we can use to tap every square we want to enter? :D

Kellan also gets to work cutting at any strands of webbing she can without getting in Redke's way. Once the trapdoor is popped open, she will fly down to Vayu and drag him back up.
Redke inspects the trapdoor, and manages to re-open it with a well-placed stomp of the boot. Kellan lifts the severely wounded Sylph out of his dire straits, while Redke works on ensuring the trap is rendered harmless - by pegging the trapdoor in place.
Vayu pulls out a portion of skeletal hand .. at some point he had slipped it into his pocket after his death grip during the fall caused it to break off.

Zen'yr heart pounds for seconds...which feels like eternity. Once she sees Vayu get out of the pit, she breathes a sigh of relief, Don't scare me like that!
Zen'yr walks up to Vayu and put a hand on his shoulder, as if her subconscious is acting on its own, Zen'yr establishes a link with Vayu.
Redke plucks the skeletal hand out of Vayu's hand with his mind powers using light touch and looks over it quick from a distance. "Yupp, I can work with this." Redke says before getting started on the door, using the skeletal hand instead of his normal tools.
Once again, taking 20 because I don't trust this place for 29. (-4 to disable device because I'm using the skeletal hand, not actual tools :P
Once Redke finally opens the door, it opens up to another rectangular room. Wisps of decayed and sagging spider webs droop from the walls of this room, which appears to be empty except for the long-dead, dismembered corpse of a giant spider and a stout, freestanding wooden closet in the southwestern corner. The ceiling is covered with dusty spider webs bulging down from a grid of wooden beams and plaster fifteen feet above the floor. Faint moans and plaintive sobbing come from the closet.
Redke looks in horror at the closet from whence the sobbing comes, the whispers to the group "Rule Four of Adventuring. If it's crying in a dungeon, it will murder you. And your family. Without remorse."
A look of dread and horror overcomes Redke's face as he hears Vayu's suggestion. "Look what happened last time you ignored the rules. I remember screaming like a little girl trapped in a pit with a spider about to eat your insides!" whispers Redke.
"Yeah ... I hope that little girl got out of the pit ... she was annoying, made it tough to concentrate ...", cough, cough, "... So how 'bout them moans?"

Kellan stays back and lets the others open the closet, though she is ready to fight if need be.
Ketill moves close to the closet. When he touches it, the moaning stops. The closet simply collapses, the panels falling apart and revealing a zombie inside.

Zen'yr, seeing there is a nice "wall" between her and the zombie decides that getting into the fray is the only course of action since her abilities won't do squat to the horrid thing.
Delaying to see if one of the more competent fighter can take it out first.
if the zombie still lives:
Zen'yr grits her teeth in frustration, seeing it continue to stand and harass everyone. She steps up, pulling out her longspear as she goes. She then takes a stab and the foul creature.
