there exists a tipping point between gods and monsters
"We are waiting," Jack hisses, his lips barely moving and his eyes remaining on the cluster of arachnids still strong and quick and clever enough to take on the frost giant. "I just meant when we do move, we gotta move quick." And no, he doesn't question or think twice when it comes to taking one of Flora's daggers and her invisibility ring, Jack keeping the former in his hands and slipping the latter onto his pinky finger.
"If we get separated," which they shouldn't, but you never fucking know, "and I can't hear you any more, I'll assume you've taken the compass." Wincing as the giant begins to stagger and grow sluggish, Jack realises belatedly (and he feels stupid about it) that the spiders must have some kind of paralytic in their venom. As their prey starts to falter, the arachnids begin to close in, and the captain sees their opportunity.
"Now."
The hand holding Flora's dagger lances out at the thick webbing, and a sharp pulse of air magic tries to part the slash in it he's made, forcing it to tear wide enough for Flora to duck through it.
