Nightfall's up then the Spiders
The spiders scuttle across the cavern's ceiling, roughly 8 yards above everyone's heads, moving between the shadows where they can and at such a speed, its difficult to pick up exact numbers.
Shadow Spiders: DEF 4
Forgot these...
Nightfall moves closer to the entrance, trying to put some distance between himself and the spiders. As he moved, pistols appeared in each hand, a souvenir of his courtship of Alice White. Some day, he was going to marry that girl.
With his inhuman coordination, and the tenacity of his hope guiding him, he shot twice at the foremost attacker.

Dr. Jack and Xerxia are up
Nightfall's shots echo through the cavern and illuminate the gloom as the muzzle flashes, the first bullet piercing the spider's back while the second finishes what its predecessor starts, namely creating a paste of the spider's body and causing its corpse to drop from the ceiling.
What his attacks also do is give a good indication of numbers; five more of the shadowy spiders remain. The open their maws and a jet of inky-darkness strikes a lone soldier along with Xerxia, Dr. Jack, Sergeant Lamplight and Corporal Sparks, clinging to their chests and restricting their movements considerably.
Terri, meanwhile, activates both of her tokens and rapidly draws her sling, which oozes with amber. The small wooden sphere gets ready in her off-hand.
Shadow Spiders: DEF 4

Xerxia spends a little time scraping off the goop impeding her. Satisfied to be rid of the spidery substance, the khukris that were previously in their sheathes appear nearly instantly in her hands as she readies herself for the coming fight.Removed goop w/ 1 suxx
Regardless of his mental state, Jack is still just as nimble as ever as he attempts to dodge the strands of sticky goop.
Jack be nimble...

Nightfall's up
As the spiders scuttle across the ceiling, some of the soldiers open fire with their clockwork blunderbuss', peppering them with shot. Sparks and Lamplight, on the other hand, are forced to stop and scrape the web from their bodies. Harvey, rushing forward, adds his own blunderbuss to the soldier's but he curses as most of the shot bounces from the stone instead of the spider.
