Things aren't adding up. Why didn't Ilpholin just kill Rot? Why is the spider here? What's going on? Valente is paralyzed by indecision. Probably standing somewhere in between the Rotsicle and Ilpholin, and off to the side a bit.

Meanwhile, the poor woman still lacking a name returns to her humanoid form. Maneuvers like that can be disorienting, but she manages to get a shot off at Ilpholin. The legs again. Capturing her alive would be best.
