The spider watches it's prey carefully and attempts to continue locking it down.
Meanwhile, Eya whispers something in Infernal then snaps her fingers.
She vanishes from sight. She walks and stands behind Kiven. She whispers, "Keep shooting, this might sting a little but it will help those wounds."
If the gestalt doesn't break free from the webbing for whatever reason, and it makes more sense per the spider's nature, I can roll to bite attack with the spider instead. Spider is using the fiendish template so registers as evil. Also adding Smite Good. Also if it lands the bite then: Bite–injury; save Fort DC 14 [16]; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d2 Strength damage; cure 1 save. The bite is only if it DOESN'T take the time to get out of the web.

No point in Eya attacking this thing at all with the super low hit rate and the DR. Going to play healer and protect myself instead. The spell is not Invisibility, it's Vanish so this only lasts 4 rounds.

Frustrated at the lack of accuracy with his new bow, Kiven begins to ponder the bow's make, enchantments, and the mathematics of optimized aim for future adjustments. For now he calls upon more magical reserves to summon another icy enchantment for an arrow.

Selena licks her lips as her strike drives home. The return blow jars her though. Summoning her dark energy she strikes again at the enemy. Her blsde has swirling energy around it.
Attack 1: 11
Damage: 12
She attacks using her headstone breaking atrike maneuver. She gains the same amount of temporary hitpoints as damage she causes. She will have her counter ready to use if a strike will take her down to 0.
The gestalt is assaulted and struck from multiple sides as it struggles in the webbing. Suddenly there is a bright flash of light, and it vanishes, the bonds it was in falling slack.
You can still hear musical tones in the air. Its nearby, but its not immediately apparent where.

"Byblow of a oil lamp orgy! Where'd you go?" Blau bellows as he looks around for the source of the sound. "If that yellow tallowed cluster isn't going to come out and play, let's head back on top and take some more pot-shots!"
Blau heads back up the stairs, slinging his crossbow on his shoulder, he pulls out another scroll and, with a burst of dark magic. heals himself of the injury. He stops before coming sight of the rooftop, preparing his crossbow for the next opportunity.

Eya, still invisible for now, uses the Infernal Healing wand on Kiven as his wounds begin to heal up. She says to the party, "Seems like the creature teleported away, similar to my own ability. It can't be too far away. What should we do? We could do as Blau suggests, the siege weapons have largely been taken care of. What does everyone think?"
Selena nods at Eya. " He makes sense. I say we go back up top. " She closes her eyes and focuses on controlling her inner darkness. As she does so some of her abilities are recovered.
OOC: She uses a standard action to recover one maneuver, Thirsting Headstone Strike.
Selena, Kiven, and Eya rush back upstairs, only to be greeted by a virtual explosion of light. The nine archons, now separated, had apparently moved to surround the windows on the third floor, and they fire, all at once, at the members of the knot first up the stairs.
There are three windows on this floor, with 3 archons each. Kiven is hit for 3 light beams for 10 damage, and Selena 4 for 12.
For simplicity's, sake , archons are numbered 1-9 in clockwise order. Call out numbers so we can be sure who's targeting the same ones.

Ignoring the cries of pain from the people that rushed up the stairs, Blau arrives at the floor level and sees the situation then snaps a shot at one of the closer Archons (#1) with his crossbow.

Eya runs up and grimaces as the lanterns fire the searing light rays into the group. She points her wand at 3 of the creatures and an explosion engulfs them. "They're split now! We might be able to take them out quickly."
Eya becomes visible once more and uses her movement to try and get out of the lanterns sight.
The giant spider rushes up to attack as well.
Targets: Fireball on Archons 7-9, Spider on whichever ones in the cluster of 1-3 makes the most sense. Weakest looking one if Biting, healthier one if webbing.
Fireball DC14: 18
Spider will bite if it can reach or Web if only ranged can strike. Add +3 to attack roll if using web.

Respar had been following, but the stairway was blocked by the others as they get attacked by the archons. Once more he turns to the recalcitrant door.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kiven grimaces as he takes another harsh blow but tries to hide the pain. He shouts back down the stairs with more urgency than he normally expresses "I would surmise that it is less efficient to divide our efforts at this time, young Repar!"
The elven 'lord' unleashes three more arrows in rapid succession at any of the archons that attacked him, trying to kill one before moving on to others.
Attack 1: 17 , Damage 5 , 5 from Blau
Rapid Shot: 20 , Damage 7 , 2 from Blau
Ray of Frost Shot: 12 , Damage 8 , 4 from Blau, 1 cold damage
Selena staggers as the beams pierce her in 4 spots. Staying on her feet by sheer force of will she heads back down stairs to get out of sight of the glowing creatures. She then stows her rapier and shield and draws her bow. Readying an arrow she prepares to move back up stairs.
The Archons emit a concerned humming sound as their combined assault fail to take down the members of the knot. This grows to a harsh note of alarm as they are attacked in turn. Three of them are engulfed in Eya's fireball, and only one is still there when it fades, but only briefly before Blau hits it with a bolt, and it vanishes in a burst of light. Two more Archons die to Kiven's assault.
There is a brief burst of musical conversation among the four remaining, and the archons pulse with light yet again, every last one of them firing at Kiven. The Archons then float upwards, vanishing from view.
Respar opens the door to reveal a well furnished if rather untidy bedroom with two beds.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
More than a little irritated that the Archon fail to attack him with their concerted beams, Blau sees the impact on Kivan and sighs "Oh, for an enemy that stands and fights like the Captain did! Much more worth while." Then goes to Kiven, pulling out another scroll and casting his spell on the haughty being.

Respar curses at the door, then draws his rapier and tries to flank the creature of light to stab it.

As he moves towards it, he feels its presence wash over him and a knot of worry forms in his stomach. He still does his best to attack.

Kiven healing 1 HP per round.

Kiven nods at Eya, Blau and Serena regarding going back up top where his bow and the fireball wand can be put to good use.
When Blau says "Byblow of a oil lamp orgy!" he just tilts his head at the rock-man and then looks at Eya with utter confusion.
Kiven remarks to Respar "come young Repar." "There is unlikely to be an orphanage for you to plunder behind that door anyhow."
Selena, Kiven, and Eya rush back upstairs, only to be greeted by a virtual explosion of light. The nine archons, now separated, had apparently moved to surround the windows on the third floor, and they fire, all at once, at the members of the knot first up the stairs.
