Moments after the Green Fungus disappears through the window, the entire building lurches sideways a few inches. It's not enough to knock anyone off their feet, but certainly enough to warrant concern. It is accompanied by the distinct sound of twisting steel and cracking masonry.

Ok, anyone want to tell me what that was? Granite says looking around.

"A warning that we have to leave now. Granite, take the guy lying at the door step, a bit heavy for me. He is wierd, but I knock him out, so he shouldn't be dangerous."

Despite the urge to shoot at the moving parts of the fungus Jergi concentratres on burning a hole through the mass to get a way out for the others.

"Perhaps last call," Professor Fate commented.

"A warning that we have to leave now. Granite, take the guy lying at the door step, a bit heavy for me. He is wierd, but I knock him out, so he shouldn't be dangerous."

"That too," Professor Fate replied. "I can carry a decent amount out of here, but probably not you, Granite. We need a hole in the side to get out of here."

Don't worry about me, I can make my own door. Granite says as he goes over to look at the man.

<ooc if the man is alive (not a walking plant man) he will pick him up and leap through the window, if not he will leap through the window alone.>

Granite finds the man lying in the hall. There are several large gashes in his head, but little blood. Rather, there is a fair amount of the greenish-gray fibrous material that he had seen earlier this evening spilling from the man in the sewer tunnel. This guy, however, is not moving. He shrugs and hoists the guy over his shoulder.

Jorgi continues to blast away at the tendrils and finally creates a hole large and stable enough to see through. Fate yells out to cease blasting so that they can clear the building.

The building pitches again, this time with considerably more force than before. It feels like a major earthquake. Fate tells Tarentula to grab ahold of him. He has to consciously repress his natural revulsion to being covered in spiders. Together, they fly through the hole and clear of the building.

Granite follows moments later, squeezing through the hole in the fungus and then leaping across the street. The sidewalk cracks where he lands, but he is otherwise unhurt.

A few curious on-lookers, attracted by the unusual phenomenon, are now fleeing down the block as it becomes quite apparent that the building is unstable. The tendrils at the base continue to crush the foundation until the entire thirteen story building collapses.

The rumble is deafening and the dust cloud kicked up completely obscures the site for a minute. As it finally begins to settle, it becomes apparent that most of the building collapsed in upon itself. One side did spill out across the street, crushing a number of cars and damaging doors and windows on the ground floor of Physics and Astronomy Hall.

When they are finally outside the building, Lawrence revert into his human form and just lay down on the ground.

"I just hope we forgot no one in there..."

Staring at the sky for a moment he stand up hastly.

"Andrew! is he all right?"

"I just hope we forgot no one in there . . . Andrew! is he all right?"

"Easy, Tarantula. Andrew was not in the building," Professor Fate said in a calming sort of voice. "In fact, you and I can head up there to see how things are."

"Jorgi, tell me you've gotten something useful from those hard drives - some way to defeat this fungus," Fate asked. Fate flew up to the adjacent building where Dr. Linderman and Andrew had been dropped.

 

[Velmont]

"Thank you, my father would have taken my head off my body if something had happen to him... talking about my father, I wonder if he is right. Hope he didn't fall on one of those freak show guy."

Lawrence stand up.

"Well, yes, I want to go up there, see how my brother is... and please, call me Lawrence. Tarentula... a big hairy spider... not a name I like that much. Well, it's good for the newspapers, but I really prefer Lawrence."

Jorgi Vadislav

Jorgi barely dodges Granite as he leaps out of the building.
"Whoa,carefullbigguy."
With a last crackle of energy he throws himself back to the other building, landing roughly on his side.

"Easy, Tarantula. Andrew was not in the building," Professor Fate said in a calming sort of voice. "In fact, you and I can head up there to see how things are."

"Jorgi, tell me you've gotten something useful from those hard drives - some way to defeat this fungus," Fate asked. Fate flew up to the adjacent building where Dr. Linderman and Andrew had been dropped.

"Don'tknowboss.LeftitforLinderman.Plantsain'tmyfield.ButIcantellyouthathísassistantturnedhimselfintoasuperhungryflesheatingfungus."
After the other building tumbles down Jorgi just stares at it in shok.
"OksonowI'mimpressed..."
