Selene "Who's there?" She turns round, in a loose fighting stance. The siren are putting her on edge, and she finds herself in no mood to be messed around.

Jarrod tears arms and legs through the silk, and now looks like he's wearing a potato sack. He tries to sever the single web cable coming down the elevator shaft in the hopes it disrupts the giant spider, somewhat.

The metallic spider clicks in annoyance, immediately turns away from you, and begins slowly trying to repair the web cable.

Raj peeks through the doorway, trying to see and hear what's going on in the apartment. He's not too cautious yet though, since Doug and Boon had to have already gone in way ahead of him.

Selene takes a moment to let that sink in, and decides to roll with the punches. "Alright, Wendigo. I need to gather my...pack, or whatever they are, and get them to safety." She thinks about that for a moment. "Or I need to keep the police from finding them and meet them later. Either one would work." She waits for advice, all too conscious of the approaching sirens and the faint, ridiculous worry about how she would explain this to her brother if she got arrested.

The voice returns. "I will share some of my power with you, enough to get you across the veil between worlds. Your packmate needs your help." You feel the offer of something in the core of your being. It warms the part of you that's been missing since you held the gourd, but you know you must first accept the offering. Wendigo is going to give you a loaner on some Gnosis.

Selene is perhaps a little too eager to accept a spiritual gift from an unseen spirit - but whatever caution she may have been feeling goes away when she feels the warmth start to fill her. "Alright - Let's do this." She looks at her reflection in one of the many reflective surfaces in this lobby, and lets herself drift away. Take the gift, walk between worlds

The spider looks at you again, chitters for a moment, and a tiny swarm of tiny spiders comes towards you and starts trying to web you again, this time much more ineffectually. It seems to be all that it can spare. The giant spider returns to its work. I won't even roll for it, it would take them so long to root you in place.

You emerge in a ghostly reflection of the lobby. Spiderwebs cover everything. Jarrod stands at the end of the lobby by the elevator door. He is covered in tiny spiders, and a giant spider is spinning a web in the elevator shaft.

Selene looks at Jarrod. He's covered in spiders. "What the bloody hell are you doing? Let's get upstairs and get the others, the cops are coming." Shaking her head, she moves for the stairwell.

Anyone still in werewolf form, you're going to need to roll Willpower to remain in werewolf form. It's pretty clear there's no danger here.

Jarrod gives up trying to catch a lift with the mechanical spider, shrugs off the remaining webs and spiders, and bounds over to Selene. He begins the ascent to floor 10, reverting to human form as he does so.

Everyone poop in JP's house now that he's not here to object. Selene and Jarrod, you reach the top of the spirit stairwell. Wendigo booms to you both "Hurry. Gather your pack, and leave this place, united!" Jarrod, you have no idea who the gently caress is talking.

That was my plan Alf Now finished with his upper decking business, he carefully replaces the cistern, wipes the shoe marks off the toilet seat and heads out towards the hot tub where the others have gathered around a pale skinny whining man.
