Ottora fought mostly with Divine Lance, repeatedly provoking reactive strikes from the ghouls because the spell requires a manipulate action — one of which was a natural 20 that cancelled her casting entirely.
She was grabbed, restrained, and whispered to by a ghoul, and contracted stage one of Forbidden Cravings. During the night watch the craving nearly took her over and she started toward a sleeping ally before being stopped at spearpoint; she had earlier warned Lia directly that she needed to be kept away from the others.
She also used the inverted Harm spell granted by her necromancer feat to heal the party and damage the ghouls in the same cast, and used her undead lore to work out exactly what the Forbidden Cravings curse was and how to break it — by resisting the peak craving without eating raw meat.

Ottora was the reason the party survived the webs: skittertalk was the only ancestry feat he took, and it turned out to be the only way to speak to the spiders. He negotiated the entire bargain — asking for the way out, refusing a fight, and agreeing to kill the creature below in exchange for safe passage — and translated the spider matron's terms for the rest of the party.
On the ground he took his shoes off to feel the cave floor, over the horrified objections of most of the party, and used artistic recollection to draw the creature they were hunting. He also drew on his cave lore for what the party knew about oozes and slimes.
In the fight he stayed at range with Divine Lance, holding to exactly sixty feet, and kept plugging away at the angler through the fascination effect. Afterward he asked the spiders about other ways out and whether there were any other humanoids down here — and got 'many, but civil ones, probably not' for an answer. When Lux shone the salvaged bulb at him, he leaned in with a sparkle in his eye.

Worked the ball with a plate of yellow mushrooms, offering them to nobles and cheerfully explaining they weren't poisonous, which got her offered to Lady Elara, refused with disgust, and then reported to the head steward. She was eventually sent to hand the plate back at the kitchen, where the head chef — who had cut the mushrooms himself — nearly exploded, and she was reassigned to champagne.
In the fight she moved and cast, opening with Divine Lance from range and then leaning on her healing font: a three-action pulsed heal that scorched multiple ghouls at once and picked the guards back up off the ground, and Channel Protection Amulet for resistance against harm. She also shielded herself and put a mace into anything adjacent.
She fell into the Abyss with everyone else, still not entirely clear on what the mushrooms had done wrong.
