Rownig, your hand axe ought to do an additional 1d6 of damage for the critical. They're x3 weapons after all. Also, shouldn't you be doing way more damage because of how you're fighting?
Tunnel Fighter +1 damage from fighting underground.
Dirty Fighter +1 damage while flanking.

RD 5:
I'm going to take Windel's action now, in case I'm not on later.
Windel looks at his battleaxe and dagger. "Time t'git ya in the action little one." he focuses and uses the power form his weapons to cast neutralize poison on Miagnik. "Kreescandiq, the Spider Slayer detox the sour venom."
Day 7, late evening, 115 (Turn of the Clock, The approximate time of day is 7:10 pm)
Initiative Order:
Maelodakh – 26
Rownig – 25
Stephanie – 25, paralyzed in round 2 (returns to normal in round 6)
Hallister - 20
Moralane – 18
Spiders – 11
Windel – 5
Miagnik – 4
Atharessa – 1, paralyzed in round 4 (returns to normal in round 9)
Round 4, wrap up
Windel throws the spider slaying axe, it whirls through the air and the spider flattens itself down just at the last minute. The axe goes wide, to the side, and misses the spider, then it bends in the air and returns to Windel’s hand
Round 5
Maelodakh charges across the room and squashes another spider with a yell that almost sounds like she is laughing hysterically
Do the call her Maelodakh the Brave, or Maelodakh the Mad?
Rownig side steps, and catches one of the spiders looking the other way. He quickly severs the small menace into two halves
Stephanie begins to twitch, just ever so slightly
Hallister notices the spider that keeps pressing on Moralane is growing weaker, he takes the opportunity to stop the slow moving injured spider into the ground killing it.
Moralane steps back and draws an arrow. Turning this way and that she searches the room for remaining spiders and sees the spider creeping up on Hallister’s back. She leans to the side and fires
Attack on Yellow, Point Blank, Deadly Aim, Precise Shot:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Damage if >15:1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Blue attacks Rownig Bite Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Damage if >15:1d3 ⇒ 2
Windel then touches Miagnik with the enchanted Dagger and instantly removes the poison from the Goblin's system
Miagnik is clear of all poison, and now goes on Initiative count 4

"That's the plan, lass." Hal says with a grin as he quickstepped away from the lunging spider in front of him and watched the flurry of violence that left all but two spiders dead.
Flurry, inspired, Punishing Kick:1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23 Damage:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 If the attack hits it pushes the spider back 5 feet. Hal will then 5' adjust forward to square BS1 (the one it just vacated) to keep it away from the paralyzed folks and set up the flank for Rownig (Rownig, just 5' adjust to BQ1

SO: Hallister is in BS-1, and Rowning is in BQ-1, the blue spider that was in BR-1 is now dead and the yellow spider got pushed to BR-0?
If so:
Now covered in arachnidia, Mae exults. She looks around to see a final leggy foe and charges again, pell-mell intent on destruction…rushing between Hallister and Rownig as they dispatch their spider before abolishing her own hairy foe.
Full Round Action: Charge to BR - 1 and attack yellow spider in Br - 0 - Power Attack, two handed, morning star.
If any of the above surmising is wrong, and Rowning didn't cut the blue spider to pieces before Mae moved, then charge Mae at it - though to be honest it makes sense that even though Mae goes before Rowning in the initiative count, by the time she covers the ground in her charge Rownig has blatted the spider and Mae runs over its corpse. Feel free to impose an Acrobatics check for slimy arachninnards...

I see what happened, Rownig was at top of the initiative order then you joined the game which dropped me down one spot. sorry about that.
No worries, I don't mind at all. For my part, I thought I just inherited the previous Melodakh's init.
It all actually worked out really well if you follow my plan. Mae started charging, you killed the spider in her way, she ran through its corpse and blatted the final arachnid. Like an episode of the Muppets with Mae as Miss Piggy. I hate that struck me as appropriate. Or that it entered my head. As soon as Mae started wailing on things, all I could think of was Miss Piggy…

Rownig look over the carnage in the room. The rogue quickly moves to the secret door to semi-close it so the group can recuperate. He leaves the door ajar and keeps an eye on the area the spiders emerged from. While he does this he uses an oiled clothe to clean his axes.

Windel chuckles, "Y'still think all spiders are friendly." He then goes about wiping his ax and dagger down while looking at the paralyzed folks. "Don't 'ave another one of those spells to neutralize the poison." He looks at Miagnik. "Not till tomorrow, sort of weird cuz I never prayed fer one today. That power came from me axe."
I know the DM is out of town but thought we could RP a bit.
Miagnik growled a little as Windel spoke to him. He was not overly fond of being talked down to. Perhaps it was the Dwarf's laughter, but Miagnik thought he could sense a derisive tone as the Dwarf spoke.
"I never said they were all friendly." He muttered to himself.
If there was one thing Miagnik could not stand however, it was being coddled. Old memories of his childhood began coming up at those words but he stomped them out before anything else happened. "Fine!" He snapped in response to Maelodakh's question. Before moving away.

The scream starts low at first, like a hum, then gradually grows as Stephanie regains more control of her muscles. It takes a few seconds to get it fully out, but the sound reverberates for a moment even after the shriek has ceased.
She sits now, wide eyed and shaking her head slightly from side to side as if trying to convince her this didn't just happen. Now that she can move, she desperately wants to, but isn't so sure she should yet. Instead she turns to Hallister, still wide eyed and trying to compose herself. "Th-thank you, Mr. Silvers... H-Hallister."

"It's guud t''ave you back, Princess." The gruff cleric winks at her, "that venom showed us a weakness in our defenses...I'll 'ave to pray about that."
Without the axe's ability to neutralize poison (4th lv spell), I have no way to cure the poison. Best I can do is delay it with a 2nd lv spell which is not really worth the spell slot at this level.

Mae is starlted, and remembers her half-sister. Slightly affected by Miagnik's response, Mae takes a less coddling approach, and strikes a nonchalant pose.
"Stephanie. Good to see you have pulled yourself together. Somewhat." she offers, somewhat sternly.
Oh I would have to disagree with you there. Delay poison is actually a wonderful spell. It lasts for hours per level and just puts a hold on poisons. In this particular case, when dealing with poisons that can paralyze someone, I'd say that not having to make those saves at all for a while can be quite invaluable. Plus if you survive, you have a much stronger chance of dealing with it later, through the heal skill and vials of anti-toxin.
I was actually in an 8th level game recently where all sorts of enemies were using poisons and when neutralize poison failed us 3 times, Delay poison basically allowed us to keep going until we had a chance to rest and take care of it normally.

IMO the delay poison spell is wonderful as a scroll, but not as designated spell slot at this level of caster. He only a couple slots and none to spare, especially, given his war god make-up. Besides this is the first time that I can recall that we've needed such a spell. Is that foreshadowing...perhaps. I play a game right now on the boards as a 6th lv cleric and having a couple the anti-toxin saved two of our skins, so no doubting that they are useful.

The pointed question stung. "I didn't know it was gonna have hungry critters...best t'just shut the door." The dwarf was reminded that one inappropriate could have grave results.

Stephanie nods somewhat distractedly at Maelodakh's encouragement. In many ways she detests her half-sister's attitude and demeanor, but at the moment she has to respect the manner in which she dealt witht he conflict far more than her own.
Day 7, late evening, 115 (Turn of the Clock, The approximate time of day is 7:10 pm)
All of the spiders are dead, In a few seconds the paralysis wears off of Stephanie and Atharessa. A new clock will appear in the bottom of my posts to remind me that Stephanie and Atharessa will need to make a new poison save in 24 hours, unless a Neutralize Poison is given to them before that time comes.
As Rowning stands by the slightly opened Secret Door, he exchanges a few words with the others, but keeps glancing into the room apprehensively. Finally, on one particularly long glance, something shiny deep within the webs of the room catches his eye. It appears to be a small golden statue.
Countdown Clock – Poison:
Atharessa and Stephanie need to make Fortitude Saves, DC 12, or suffer paralysis for 1 hour, and d2 Dex loss: Day 8, turn 116, and then again DC 10, Day 9 turn 117 for the same effect.

Before the party presses on, Windel will pull out the dagger, and place it in one of the meatier spiders to see if the dagger can drain the poison for 1 minute's time. The cleric wrinkles his face a bit regarding the process. Experimenting now.
DM:
I figure it's worth a shot. the description of the weapon mentions: "On a successful hit against any poison bearing monster, the Dagger will attempt to drain the potency of the poison from the creature." I'm not sure the poison bearing spider needs to be alive a the time.
Basically, during combat, if you hit with the dagger, and make the required roll, the dagger drains the ability of that creature to effect any target with it's poison ability for ten rounds and then gives the dagger the same ability to cause poison as that which was drained from the creature, on a successful hit. In this case, you drain a dead spider of being able to poison someone (hard to do as it is dead) and give the dagger poison as an attack for one minute

DM:
That is why I asked. I originally thought it was only during combat, but thought I'd ask. Besides "in character" Windel is learning about the weapon. I've tried to show some clear personality affects where the weapon is influencing him, even though Windel has control over the ego. He never had a spider aversion previously. So, I thought he'd be "curious" about the poison because to the weapons thirst.

Maelodakh listens with interest but lets the dwarves decide how to proceed - she has her own problems to deal with... She really needs to get her own house in order. Besides - gold? statues? Definitely dwarf-business.
She responds to Stephanie's apparent disinterest in her attempt at care.
"Sis. Really. Don't let it bother you. I... we..." she pauses, unsure of how to proceed in this new territory of "personal relationships". Brave she might be in the blood-drenched chaos of battle, but relating to her own half-sister was a distinct challenge.
"Let us work toward a compact. Work together. Next battle, let us co-operate - a fire-team if you will You can shore up my own inabilities. If there are any." Mae groans inside. She just couldn't help herself.
Day 7, late evening, 115 (Turn of the Clock, The approximate time of day is 7:10 pm)
When Rownig mentions the Statue, Atharessa, still shaking off the effects of the poison, comes up behind him and looks over his shoulder.
Countdown Clock – Poison:
Atharessa and Stephanie need to make Fortitude Saves, DC 12, or suffer paralysis for 1 hour, and d2 Dex loss: Day 8, turn 116, and then again DC 10, Day 9 turn 117 for the same effect.
Though you do not recognize the sculpture as anything significant, you are certain that it is made of gold. Determining if it is solid gold or not would require closer examination
Hallister:
You recognize the figure as being a representation of the Goblin Deity, Fath’Reen. It is a small statue, no more than fifteen inches high. The lower half of the statue is a hairy spider, with only four legs, and the upper body of a four armed goblin male with a mischievous grin. The goblin’s face has settings for four eyes, and it looks as if these were once set with jewels that have been removed. The statue is made of gold, but if it is solid gold is difficult to tell without closer examination
Day 7, late evening, 115 (Turn of the Clock, The approximate time of day is 7:10 pm)
Brushing some of the webs away from the small statue, Rownig examines it closer. He is careful, keeping his eyes focused on the thing and looking for subtle clues as to the possible existence of a trap or some harmful magical enchantment. When he is comfortable with the idea that it is safe, he gently tips the statue to the side to gauge its weight.
The statue is not solid gold, it is much too light, for its size.
Looking at the underside of the statue, with it tipped slightly, he can see that it is a wooden carving with a thick, nearly one inch, layer of hammered gold sheets applied over the wood.
The gold is worth more than he can calculate. None of you have seen this much gold in one place before. It could easily make several hundred coins, if the gold were melted down. The value of the statue is incalculable.

"Hal...Windel...Princess you have any ideas about this thing? If not, we can pack and and study it later." He looks around and comments, 'It's getting late and we've had a tough day, how about a night of rest?"

Is this a goblin artifact at all Terquem? Mae isn't particularly interested, but if it is, and she sees it, might she know anything about it? Sounds like it resembles a Drider...so probably not...
This is a Goblin Artifact, but it is very old, and only a Knowledge Religion, or Knowledge History roll of 18+ reveals that you know something about it. It is something like a Drider, but instead of a centaur-spider Drow, it is a centaur-spider Goblin. Now, most Goblins know something about the old goblin deities, and their relationship to the world of spiders. The two Goblin Goddess statues in this room each have six arms (and two legs) but this little Goblin Statue, of a male, has a very different lower body.
