Welp, I don't think you can get past Imfei to attack, so your best bet is to delay and let the others go.

didn't I say "slide" as in slide under imfei and then run and slide under the tarantula and chop it in half?

Moving past Imfei wouldn't be a problem normally, it's that the spider is in the next square.  You can't move past it.  You could maybe Bull Rush it, but doing that gives the spider a free attack on you, and if you fail, since Imfei is standing there, you'll get knocked flat on your back.  Not ideal.

So, delay, Bull Rush/get hit,...?  Just don't want to stifle your creativity. 

did the spider move to where we are?

This post has the map, the spider is blocking the doorway, with Imfei standing closest (as she was the one that burned away the web).

so what?
Can't I just slide and pull my sword as I get under the arachnid?

Mechanically, you can't occupy the same space as your enemy, so as part of that, you'd have to be pushing them out of the space - which gives them a free shot on you.  Don't know that I'd risk getting poisoned despite the artistry such an attack would show. There is a skill (Tumble) which can do what you want, but you don't have any ranks in it.

You know, you could just attack with your bow.  You have the same penalties that Yiki took but it's a lot safer.

Hey, how'd notify get turned off on this thread?  Silly me.  Blaming my mouse for that. /randomclicking

I'm going to write it up as a bow attack so we can move forward.

Anyone going to poke around?

Is Mr. spider still kicking?
Oh, right.  Go me!

Anybody else want to poke around?  One room left until your safety can be assured...

Gonna move this along if no one else wants to check anything...

Moving things a bit, just waiting for our traveler to check in (that's Sputnik).
