Thorsan roared with delight as he skewered the nasty beast right through the thorax. He wrenched it's lifeless corpse off of Alfbern with a violent thrash, but the body was stuck on the spike and refused to come loose. He felt the others try to gain purchase on him, but his spiked armor prevented them from getting close to his flesh.
Next he turned to one of his assailants, with the dead spider still bouncing comically atop his helmet. "Gonna make a stack o' hairy flapjacks outta ya!" He lowered his helm and charged again, bellowing a battle song about maple syrup.
[If they're too close to charge, I'll gut one with my Battle axe instead]

"Alfbern! Hold still!!", yelled Taliesin as he aimed an arrow at a fanged beast.
((Try to shoot at one or both spiders attacking the elf. This will look cool if I hit the spiders. Kind of dumb is I kill Alfbern. I'm willing to accept that risk. After this round Taliesin will enter melee with his sword.))

It was easy for Alfbern to hold still. You know, being paralyzed and all. He could still hear what was going on though.

Alfbern decided the only way forward was to relax. Otherwise terror would overtake him. So he stared into the dust between the stones of the platform. Periodically he tried to move, to test the poison's limits.

Baal began chanting for another prayer ((produce flame)) as soon as he could, intending to set afire any of the hungry looking large spiders that got near him or any of his new allies.

Her brother swarmed over before her eyes, Saskia shrieked with rage. Sling discarded in favor of spear, she charged down the slope toward where Alfbern had fallen and brought vengeance with her.

[Initiative: B.F. Spiders 2/5. Players 3+.]
Zacklun, invisible and flying manages a backstab on the arachnid he'd already wounded, and administers a field spinectomy. Thus allowing it depart the mortal plane. [7 damage, Kill] At the same time, that spider missed it's attempted attack on the crazed battle dwarf.
The other three spiders also had issues connecting with the heavily armored and spider wearing dwarven warrior.
Taliesin fired his enchanted arrows. They connected on the same death spider, ending it's disgusting life. [5 & 6 damage respectively. 1 kill.]
Thorsan belted out, "MAAAAAAPLE SYRUP & SPIIIIDER PAAAAANCAKES!!!", while switching to his trusted magic axe. He split a spider in two, from fangs to butt. It kinda resembled a half hairy broiled lobster as it twitched in it's own gore. [Nat 20, 16 damage, kill]
One remained. Lucky threw 2 daggers, and one connected dealing a decent wound to the arachnid's back. [2 damage.]
Baal called the element of fire to do his bidding. He lobbed it overhand with a savage pitch and smashed it in the spider face. [5 damage] It screamed a shriek that chilled the blood as it caught fire.
Saskia missed widely [Rolled a 2.] The fire blast had caused her to rear back at the last second to avoid getting scorched herself. But that didn't matter. The last spider dies of burning before they could even consider their next attack. [Kill]
Alfbern was still stiff as a doornail.

The room shook, but the adventurers saw it could be injured. They had to be quick on their feet if they were to survive this one!

Just as Bit reached the door the voice boomed again, making him unsteady on his feet and forcing him to lean against the frame. "Wait, was that Saskia challenging the demon?" he thought in surprise as turned back - just in time to see Arristuun hurling a crackling javelin though the air, striking the demon squarely and ripping a howl of pain from it. Watching the ceiling crumble and the rest of his companions staying defiant in the face of the spirit, he hissed "By the gods, I'd rather die fighting than crushed to death in a desert tomb!".
With a roar, he spun, drawing his silver dagger in one hand and a throwing knife in another and launched both at the retreating djinni.

Alfbern fired his bow at the thing, perhaps the sum total of their attacks could bring the beast down. If it was to be a fight then he would fight.
((If I can get both shots since I already had an arrow nocked, I'll take them.))

Baal headed toward the exit before he was buried alive, "We should all leave this place before we are crushed or burned alive!"

Another, even more desperate and crazy gambit came to Arristuun's brain in that frantic moment. Maybe he could still keep this thing from collapsing the ceiling if--
"Aren't you forgetting something, Jafar -- I mean, Enki? We released you from your bottle. That makes you our vassal, not us yours! Now get down here and clean up this mess before I throw another lightning bolt at you!"

Saskia still stared up at the creature, but spoke to Arristuun. "That is not Enki. It it an ungrateful child. Angry and lashing out at anything at hand. It has power, but is blinded by fury."
"IT IS NOT TOO LATE, SPIRIT," Saskia shouted. "MY COMPANIONS WISH TO END YOU, BUT I WOULD RATHER SEE US ALLIES. CEASE YOUR THRASHING, ENTREAT WITH ME INSTEAD."

Once those in the party decided to attack, a flurry of arrows, blades and a lone hammer sailed out in a flurry at the fleeing spirit. Lucky hit with his magicked silver dagger, [Crit 7 damage!] now vanished in the thing's nethers. The invisible pixie, Zacklun, missed with 2 sleep arrows, sadly. Both Taliesin & Alfburn had one of their arrows score a mark [6 & 3 damage respectively]. Baal & Osric retreated to the main chamber to secure safe exit. Galatea could see a giant bronze flaming man shoot out from the sand. She ducked behind the fortified area behind the camels, unsure what to do at such a sight.
It did not verbally respond to Saskia's threats, nor Arristuun's demands. It was beholden to none of them apparently.
The reaction it did have, as it left the chamber and into the day above, was seen only by the elf, Galatea. Quite personally, too. It raised it's arms to the heaven's and called down elemental fire in an inferno upon their camp, incinerating their camels and tents in a blaze of insanity.
It laughed.
On fire, Galatea stumbled to the side, rolled a few times and passed out unconscious. Would she make it through this day?
[Combat resolved. Resume regular posting back in the Underground Building Part 2 thread.]
