Tentatively my command is
>3: Communicate with Anansi from a safe distance while keeping an eye open for the one that threw the knives. Try and figure out how Anansi got here, and what her intentions are. Communicate to her that if she is cooperative and not hostile you are willing to get her out of here, and might even be able to help her out long term if she wishes. In conjunction with all of that, have Ira keep track of her emotions.

I want to learn more about Anansi before we decide to let her down. Especially considering she is almost certainly spider related, and the silk strands "tying" her to that rock are suspiciously in the same pattern as a spider's legs would be. She might still be an unwilling part of a trap, but caution is prudent.

Anansi probably can't damage us with straight attacks, but that doesn't mean there's no other things she can do that would be bad for us. Even things which she doesn't do intentionally (kinda like Mephita).Which is why I want to keep distance from her until we know there's nothing we particularly have to worry about.

As for the ninja catgirl: we could make more barriers with the gloves, use a smokescreen around us from the bag of pipes to cut off her vision and require her to close in to attack us, or just keep an eye out for her like we are now. I'm actually fairly confident about our ability to take a pot shot even if she actually succeeds in one. We're surprisingly tanky.
