"Yes, only the Deliverer could have such fantastic gear."
By now I was royally confused. "Excuse me? Could we back up a bit?"
The Giant laughed. "Of course. Here, sit down...
A. I'll send for some food for you before I explain."
B. and watch out for underwater spiders. Nasty things."

[The Happy Islander]

"...and watch out for underwater spiders. Nasty things."

I looked behind myself as I carefully sat down, and then looked at the Giant questioningly.

Before I knew it, I was surrounded by giant spiders which swam around me and quickly wove a silken net around me.

"It wouldn't do to have the Deliverer be the housekeeper here," the Giant murmured to the alligator. "You'll have to find someone else." The alligator nodded solemnly.

The Giant waved the spiders away, and they dragged me off to...

A. a dungeon.
B. an underwater forest.

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

The spiders took me to a dungeon. With me wriggling and shouting so, I don't know how they managed it (need I say that I had hoped they wouldn't manage it?). Behind me, I just heard the Giant guffawing maniacally.

The spiders tossed me head-first into a dark cell and I hit my head on something soft. I hoped that maybe my time machine had glitched again and sent me somewhere, anywhere, but here. But I heard the cell door lock behind me and I knew I had no such luck. Of all the places to be, I had to be stuck in this predicament! And what was the Giant saying about being a deliverer? I wish!

Suddenly, in the mostly-dark, I felt something feeling my web-bound legs. I cried out in surprise (and fear, duh), but then doubled my cries when I realized what was touching me. It was...

A: an octopus with razor blades on its tentacles.
B: a little girl with glowing green eyes.

[jesusgirl4ever]

A little girl with glowing green eyes. "Hello," I said.
"Hello," she responded. "Who are you?"
I told her my name and added, "The king up there said that I was the 'Deliverer.' Do you know what that means?"
She...
A. sat down and explained.
B. gasped. "The Deliverer!" and ran out.

[Shield Maiden]

She gasped "The Deliverer!" and ran out.
Great. Now what? My eyes were beginning to adjust to the dark, and what dim outlines I could see made me shudder. I decided to...
A. try to break my bonds
B. try to see my surroundings

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

I tried to break my bonds (not that I hadn't tried before, but I figured it might be easier to do when not being pulled around by spiders). The stuff refused to give way, but I did fine myself able to worm my arms about. And that was how I rediscovered the gun I had originally planned on using to rob the bank. I took hold of it and...

A: tried to fire it in an attempt to cut some of the spider-silk.
B: decided that A could end in nasty injury and so didn't risk it.

[The Happy Islander]

(Nice, Ariel, bringing back that detail from the beginning! )

...I thought about trying to fire it in an attempt to cut some of the spider-silk, but, after some reflection (after all, I had plenty of time to reflect, being stuck in a dungeon and all...) decided that doing so could potential end in a rather nasty injury, so I decided not to risk it. I used it to prod at the webs binding me, however, and to my astonishment, they loosened and fell gracefully away from me as the gun touched them. Soon, I stood free.

Now, they had called me the Deliverer. Who was I supposed to deliver from what? Or was this a case of mistaken identity? That giant, King Mervis, didn't seem to want me about. Was I to deliver somebody/somebodies from him...? Or...

I heard a soft cough behind me. Whirling around, I saw my fellow prisoners behind me. Were they friendly or were they yet another threat I had to face? I...

A. stood ready to run, and asked them who they were.
B. told them I was supposedly the Deliverer and asked them if they knew what that meant.

[jesusgirl4ever]

I decided to throw caution to the wind (I couldn't get in much more trouble than I was in now.) and tell them I was supposedly the Deliverer and asked them if they knew what that meant. They replied that they would tell me if I would explain why the princess had been in talking to me. "P-princess? That girl with the glowing eyes was a princess?"
"Indeed. You didn't know?"
"No. Now, explain."
A. The spokesman sighed. "This might take awhile. Let's sit down."
B. He asked my why I had been locked up.

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

(@Islie: Thanks!)

"Why did King Mervis lock you up?" the spokesman asked.
I waved my arms about (before I realized that waving a gun around was probably not a good idea) and snapped, "Oh, I don't know. Maybe if you got to explaining, I could tell you!"
The spokesman...

A: gently told me to calm down.
B: snapped back.

[jesusgirl4ever]

"Now, calm down. We'll explain." He paused. "What do you know about the Deliverer?"
"Besides the fact that it appears to be me? Nothing."
"Oh. Well, the Deliverer is supposed to rescue...
A. us."
B. the Giants."
