Giant Spiders Oh My
Who: the current Hazmats
Where: sailing to Manahana-lia Island, then on the island
When: August 27 through September 5th
What: sailing as fast as they can to rescue Cynthia, and the rescue thereof. They'll try to save time by jumping through Empieza but...
Warnings: spiders. Violence, talk of death, Gan Ning's mouth
Style: whatever you want, don't mind the setup
Status: closed to Hazmat crew
The minute the scream came though his journal, Gan Ning was moving. There was no time to waste fiddling around, they had to set sail to find Cynthia before it was too late. He tore through any maps and information they had on the ship, looking for anything that suggested spiders. Her clue, the spider-webs, meant that was all he had to go on. Fortunately, other pirates around the docks totally knew which island that was, and aside from impressing on him the "don't go there" part of the legend, told him where to find it.
It did seem odd that no matter where they were, if they set sail for Isla Empieza, they'd make it there in a day or so instead of weeks. Gan Ning relied on that, even though he didn't do more than skim through the harbor before setting a new course for Manahana-lia in the far west of the land. Hopefully weather wouldn't be against them. They had a long way to go and didn't have Wan there to guide the winds in their favor.
Spiders, the other pirates said. There'd be large spiders and his crew would be killed. Nope, Xingba would not let anyone die if he could help it. But that meant they'd have to fight. Roxas needed to heal so he could guard the ship, but everyone else, well...
Let's hope they make it on time.
[ooc: info on the island is here - make and date your own sailing threads but we'll hit the island about the 3rd or 4th and there'll be a fight log for that]

Gan Ning just sort of flops to a seat, dropping his sword and flicking spider guts off his free hand as best he can.]
Ugh. Can I owe you two? I'm stuck to the ground.
[he'll pick up his sword and use it to free his other arm in a minute, he needs to catch his breath]
no subject
[He plants his hands on his hips and looks around the cavern. It's a giant mess, but at least there don't seem to be any more spiders. Small blessings.]
no subject
[as he slowly hacks at the spiderwebbing to free himself without hurting himself.]
She ain't gonna like touchin' the spider guts any more than you do.
no subject
I could still cut her down...have to time it right if I'm supposed to catch her, too, since you're all gooey.
[He paces back and forth beneath the giant web, trying to size it up and figure out the proper angle.]
You might wanna be on standby.
no subject
[The webbing glueing him to the floor is stubborn and he doesn't want to hack off his shoe. At long last, though, he's able to move again, and reluctantly stows his sword even though he's not sure they're done fighting yet. He needs his hands free if he has to jump in to help catch.]
no subject
Okay, get ready. This is probably gonna be pretty fast.
[He throws the weapons, which luckily cut through the web surrounding Cynthia. They return to his hands and she begins to fall, she's definitely a bit closer than he expected by the time he can banish them. He manages to clumsily grab hold of her, but he's going to need some help.]
no subject
She's unconscious, but alive. Good.]
Nice. Now we just gotta hope the reinforcements haven't closed the escape behind us. I dunno how much more I got in me, either.
[then again, the other party is still out there hunting. Maybe they're in luck after all.]
Let's get the hell out of here.
