Tsuchigumo
The competitors are dropped into a seemingly bottomless pit, freefalling until they fall into, and find themselves stuck in a network of giant spider webs. As competitors begin freeing themselves, an enormous, and unusually colorful Tsuchigumo yokai will descend upon the webs and begin devouring competitors unfortunate enough to cross its path. The only vulnerable part of the Tsuchigumo’s body is the abdomen which may be broken or slashed open, causing a stream of candies and sweets to flow forth. Revealing itself to have been a constructed piñata all along, the Tsuchigumo will no longer operate once its candy has been spilt. Once the candy spider has been defeated, competitors may attain victory by climbing the webs to escape the pit.
'Falling was an odd sensation.‘
Hanbei was led into a tent of somekind with a circle of yokai and other people around herself and a group of about nine other people that had been selected for the trial, standing in the middle a presenter seemed to announce to the crowd the commencing of this particular trial. Though many of the details had been mysteriously omitted, chatter and whispers seemed to circulate through the group as Hanbei was left in wonder. Until it was about time to begin, the lights went out, and the entire crowd hushed in anticipation. Until finally, there was the cranking of a lever, and the ground beneath all of them suddenly vanished, leaving them all to free-fall down a pit of unknown size and origin, the surprize causing even Hanbei to temporarily black out for a moment, stunned in shock as she and the others would fall...
Hanbei would awaken falling down what seemed to be a never ending pit, looking down the first thing that would come to her mind was objective terror and surprise. Though, looking around and seeing others a tad more prepared would put her mind at ease. Looking down, hanbei would immediately begin to perform a series of hand-seals before emitting the two long wings of chakra needles from either side of her back imbued with raiton so that she may light up the area. Expanding them broadly to slow her fall like a parachute. Angling her fall towards the wall so that Hanbei would slowly but surely grind to a halt. Within moments Hanbei would realize that the walls seemed to be coated in some kind of white sticky solution, a thread or something of the like before realizing just exactly where they were and what they were dealing with. Looking down at the others, there were near a dozen other people that seemed to be caught in expansive webs that stretched along the cavern... and one immediate thought came to mind...
'Tsuchigumo.'
