This man had better be telling the truth if I'm going to be dragged into Scurvytown"Why would Lydon's assassin be in Scurvytown? Couldn't you have moved her the 100 feet to the Docks?" Kale was irritated. He hated filth and Scurvytown was nothing if not filthy."She's a feisty one," said the man as he led Kale down the stairs. At the end of a short hallway, he opened a door. As he did so, his body subtly changed. "I would've enjoyed eating her. If I'd caught her."Before he could react, Kale was trapped in webbing. He struggled to breathe as the man, now a spider, spun him into a cocoon.Scarlett ran at the spider with her rapier. It said a few words and suddenly the dark-haired girl was staring off into space. As the tall man punched the spider, it turned to Scarlett. It shot its webbing at her, pinning her to the wall. Scarlett struggled to free herself as the spider turned its focus to the man.The other woman snapped out of her daze and attacked the spider. As she swung her sword, she tripped over a thick strand of web. She and her sword clattered to the ground. The man continued to punch the spider.Scarlett groaned. "Don't you have a weapon?""I left it at the inn," the man replied, a split second before the spider bit into his arm.Scarlett rolled her eyes. Left it at the inn? This is Freeport, what was he thinking? "Use my rapier. Or that girl's sword. She's not using it."The man wrenched his arm free ad picked up the fallen greatsword. As he crouched for the sword the spider missed him and succeeded in biting its own leg. The man swung upward as he lunged from the ground.The spider lay bleeding among the webs. "You may kill me, but my brethren will eat you alive.""Yeah. whatever." Scarlett finally managed to free herself from the webbing that held her to the wall as the man finished off the spider. Afterwards, she helped him rip the faces off of the remaining cocoons, some of which held gruesome sights.Scarlet looked around, trying to figure out the next step. "By the way, thanks for the- Hey!" Scarlett rushed to stop the man from leaving with the rat. "Where do you think you're going?"The man stopped to look at Scarlett. "Hold this." He held out the greatsword he had borrowed.Scarlett took it. What am I supposed to do with this? As soon as she held it the man took off running.Selene'ya opened her eyes. Light came from somewhere behind a golden-haired man who smiled down at her. He mouth moved but she couldn't focus on his words. she was staring at his wings; his dark blue wings. "Am I dead?""Nope." As soon as the words left her mouth, she recognized him. He had been in a cocoon. Before that, he had been on stage with Captain Lydon and the others.Selene'ya sat up. She had a blinding headache. as the winged man filled her in on the whereabouts of the redhead and the tall man, she searched the room. She retrieved her greatsword and even found a few sacks of loot in a corner. Mine now, she thought."Look. No offense but would you shush it and help me drag this thing back. Those two may have won the rat race, but I'm gonna steal the show."</blockquote>
