"Hm. Bothersome," Inatai remarked as the webs made it difficult to move... or at least to walk. He could still swing his blade, and there were other ways to get around...

The Gith pulled in the surrounding shadows, drawing most heavily on Karan's, enveloping himself in a shroud before disappearing from sight entirely... only to reappear from one of the ettercaps' shadows instead. With a cold smile, he turned to the webspinner, blade in hand as the shadows drew closer still around it.

"Hello. Please wait while I eviscerate you," he said politely before lashing out at the spider-thing, the surrounding shadows adding their weight to the blows.

Unfazed by the quick appearance of...whatever Inatai is, the Ettercap scuttled back onto the webbing before shooting off a net at the main threat - Graven. It then used a rather long spear to poke at Inatai from afar, with deadly results.

- "So that's how he does it? Interesting." - Graven pondered on abilities of their new companion while managing to free his arms again - but not legs.

Again Adis repeated his new whimsical incantation. Focusing his swarm of invisible assailants between the Ettercaps, he was rewarded by the sight of the two front ones fidgeting in vain. However the farthest one was so tangled in webs, it's mind did not perceive the threat.

'I'm going for the big one!' shouted Karan and rushed forward, effortlessly tearing the webs that stood in her way. As soon as she was in range, she swung her sword, only to find out that the blade entangled itself (along with her hand) in the web.

"Hmm...Well, This web is going to get annoying. Only one thing left to do!" Norian pulled out his flint and steel, and struck them untill a spark started and landed on the web, setting it aflame. "Clear off the webbing everyone! I'll try to make it easier to move around!"

Norian moved off the now-burning webbing, and made sure he had a clear shot at the bloodied ettercap. He suddenly felt a huge surge of energy, as if Pelor randomly looked down, and decided to assist one of his acolytes in a somewhat more direct way. Using this energy, Norian felt a boost of confidence and shoted in a clear voice: "This hand of mine is burning red! Burning with power! FEEL THE WRATH OF THE SUN!" All of a sudden, holy light surrounded Norian. He pointed at the unfortunate ettercap and shouted with all his might: "FINGER OF PELOR!" When his holy bolt departed, it was as if the sun were in the room, it was so bright. It collided with the ettercap at an astonishing speed, with a loud bang and a flash.

After he took his shot, without even pausing to see if he killed his target, Norian decided to watch the ceiling in case something was lurking in wait for them. It would be somewhat hard to tell, but he was going to try.

While the party does continue its damage spree against the spider people, Norian starts a small fire. The webs smoulder slightly, but show no sign of spreading quickly. One of the ettercaps falls to your barrage, but it only appears to piss the remaining ones off, as one of them rushes forward with a loud clicking noise. The greataxe seems to leave quick a mark on Graven.

Inatai once more called upon the shadows to transport him elsewhere, appearing behind the web-slinging ettercap and bringing his sword down on it, though it was hard to aim properly with all the webs in the way...

Inatai's blow rattles off the hard carapace of the Ettercap, leaving a small dent but no solid damage. In retaliation, the ettercap slips closer to Inatai, slamming its longspear down into his body. As a parting shot, it throws a quickly spun net of webbing onto Karan.

- "Cleric, I'd much prefer if you'd focus on healing rather than trying to torch all of us." - Graven's swing went wide, but at least he managed to free his legs finally.

  Adis quickly jumped away from the burning webs. "Watch it! Graven is right, I would like to avoid burning to death."
  Turning to the nearest Ettercap, he evoked another ray of Frost. Striking the creature in the arm, it froze several of the nearby webs as well restricting it's movement.

Furiously, Karan burst out of the webs that restrained her.

"Calm down, both of you." Norian replied, going into is explaining tone. "Listen, I'd rather not have to deal with the webs later, so I'm burning them now. If we need to run for whatever reason, having to go through the room as-is would be disasterous. Besides, they annoy me greatly, and I want them out of the way." Norian suddenly notes that his team is in need of healing "Oh Pelor alive! This day just keeps getting better and better." He moves next to Graven and first heals Inatai, then attempts to "repair" Graven as best as he can. He does a good job, and the Warforged looks in good shape.

Having killed one of the ettercaps, the party gets itself into a much better position to strike against those remaining, only to have their best laid plans get slightly turned aside by a massive critical hit from an ettercap greataxe. Graven, recently healed, finds himself in quite a world of pain.

To add insult to injury, the fire that Norian lit seems to have burned through the webs that he set it on, and having gotten started properly it starts to spread to all the surrounding webs. Things appear to be heating up...

"One at a time, please," Inatai muttered, looking over his shoulder at the other approaching ettercap. Rather than try to dodge blows from both of them (an art he had not, quite frankly, mastered yet) he chose to withdraw to a safer position. But first things first...

The Gith gathered the surrounding shadows around himself and sent a portion of those to lash out at the webspinner. His own blade followed soon after, but regardless of the blow hitting or not, Inatai soon appeared from the shadows behind Karan, temporarily out of reach for the spider-monsters.
