Growling Ape's call is answered, a fire spirit burns into life beside the huge spider, and immediately attacks the smaller spider in front of it. The spider dodges its attacks and lunges for a bite, recoiling in shock from the heat, stinking smoke rising from singed hairs.
From behind, spider #1 flings a glob of webbing at Annika, but luckily it lands short.
Shakou moves towards the figure in the cave, into the radius of the ghostly lighting. She feels her heart clench with unnatural fear as she does so, and her limbs begin to tremble. Closer to, she can now see the mysterious "white ape monster" more clearly. It isn't some kind of ape spirit thing after all. It looks more like a young human female, her pale skin begrimed in mud and her white hair grown so thick and long that hangs down over most of her body. This girl doesn't seem entirely natural, however. Her fingers end in wicked talons, and as she rears back, awaiting Shakou's approach, she hisses and displays a set of un-naturally sharp teeth.
Just then, the ghostly light winks out. The spider riding on the back of the huge one rears up rubbing its forelegs together and chittering in the strange spider language. A web of pure shadow forms in the air above Growling Ape's head, and drops down around him. He feels his sight growing dim, but with a surge of effort manages to shrug off the effect.
Meanwhile, overhead, Mystal and Mar and his spider opponent balance on the web strand, neither of them moving a whisker, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Suddenly the spider lunges. Mystal Mar strike, his rapier sinking deep into the creature. It recoils, then quickly lunges again, flailing with a foreleg. The little swordsage takes a single step back and the mandibles miss him.

Finishing off Round 1:
Ape: Summon Small Fire Elemental. I placed it where it can attack the most enemies.
Fire Elemental: Attack Spider #5, 9+3 =12, miss.
Giant Spiders:
#1 Fire web at Annika, miss.
#2 Dead
#3 Bite vs. Mystal Mar. Dealt with in previous post.
#5 Attack elemental, hits for 2 damage. Makes Reflex save against Burn.
Shakou: Move 40 ft. towards feral girl thing. Will save 1+1=2, fail. Shakou is now shaken. The ghost light has now dropped, so this will last until the start of Round 3.
Everything else was resolved in the previous post.
Round 2
I resolved Mystal Mar's combat, since Neurotic has already given me his actions, and the fight won't affect the rest of you.
Spider #4 - casts spell on Grolwing Ape. Fortitude 10+5=15, makes save. (I rolled Spellcraft for Annika, but she doesn't recognise it). This drops the Ghost Light effect.

I've split the map up. Map a is the ground level, Map c is the highest level, 30 ft. above ground. No-one is on the middle level, so I've omitted it.
