Mai says, turning to Fate.  "There are a couple other stairways we could take up, if you'd rather stay away from that guy...and I'm all for staying away from him."*****Fifth floor, central stairwell...Granite takes the stairs one flight at a shot, occassionally crashing into a wall due to the poor emergency lighting.  The large man ahead is making an equally significant amount of noise and is easy to track.At about the fifth floor, Granite finally catches up to the guy.  The man turns to face Granite from one flight higher up, his green eyes glowing angrily in the semi-darkness.  Granite can now see that his skin is thick and rippled, almost as if a spool of steel cables had melted together.  It also appears to have a greenish-gray tinge.  He is wearing pants and a white button down shirt, but both are filthy and torn in spots and entirely too small for his seven foot frame.The man grins back at Granite.  "You seem to have a rather high opinion of yourself...for someone who'll be fungus food in short order."Tendons and flesh crack as he flexes his fists and assumes a loose fighting posture.Initiative (no surprise):Granite 14Green Fungus 10*****Thirteenth floor...The newly arrived students don't wait on Jorgi for answers as they continue to push up the stairs and toward the roof.  Here they join the other two grad students who are cautiously watching the two swarms go at one another...as well as the fungus tendrils that are still growing up and over the edge of the roof."Uh, are you sure the roof is the place to be?" one of the students asks Jorgi.Tarentula, meanwhile, continues to try to deal with the rat swarm.  The spiders seek to overwhelm and pin down the rats, but most are able to easily slither out of the spiders' hold.  Tarentula can at least take solace in the fact that the rats are completely interested in him and none have broken off to attack the newly arrived students.(ooc - I've essentially modeled the rat swarm as a single creature with the Alternate Form: Semisolid.  You can easily hit with a grapple attack, but just like you they can very easily slip back out of it.  At the moment, it's really something of a stalemate.)</blockquote>
