Shep nodded thoughtfully as he watched the two search the library and puzzle things out. Their logic seemed reasonable to him and he was happy to let them figure it out. Not that he didn't help look, he leisurely wandered the library and rifled through books. His selection was less guided by what he thought might be a clue than it was personal interest.

As the spider lady worked to free him, Cyrano worked to rise again, possibly making it more difficult to free him. Nevertheless, he was eventually freed, and on his feet.
@t2wave@Necrophage"thank you for setting me free lady lila. I am cyrano and most pleased to meet you, and you as well sir godfrey of penshold"
Cyrano paused, unsure whether or not it was better manners to introduce his fellows as well, or to let them introduce themselves. It had been so long since he had been in company other than that of... what was the gnomes name? Had it been long since he'd been around others?
He remained still as he thought through these things, still posed as if he might be about to say more. He realized this and knew that whatever was the polite thing to do, that wasn't it.
He decided to stop being awkward and instead to do something useful, and began devouring the Pursuers corpse, beginning with the already mangled wrist.

Shep followed the rest of the group as they headed out of the gymnasium. He turned around to study the scientist one last time to ensure he could recall his features if need be. He ran to catch up to Chris and look over her shoulder at the map. He only now just noticed that the gym wasn't shown on the map, nor was the outdoor section of the facility that the scientist had mentioned.
Interesting.
"Well, if it gets to the point that we run out of ideas, I have an ace up my sleeve. Anywho, since we all gon' ta be going on missions and stuff together, might as well get to know each other. Where's everybody from?"

Mutant Facility

"Man, not a huge fan o' the whole riddles thing my own self. Couldnt have been a map and a grid could it? Library sounds as good an option as any to me" Shep said in response to yet another new person's suggestion.
"And anyway, we can always figure a different angle if we find out we're wrong anyhow."
Shep offered the map, and a welcoming hand the girl in black.
@Nikki Moonlight "You wanna lead the way as you suggested it miss....?"

Mutant Facility

I was about to start working on the mission, let the others follow suit, but now I shall wait for "Chris" to join us

Mutant Facility

You gave the mission but didn't give us our first clue or whatever we need to get started.

Gotta say, I like the group dynamic we've got going for this battle scene personally. I feel it flows pretty well, even with me having to fight the desire to post every time all the time and god mode the crap of the nasty smelly thing. :D

Cyrano actually cracked the stone of the passageway as the abomination drove his head into the cave wall, but Cyrano held his grip on the monster despite, and indeed, seemed little phased by it. He saw the efforts to constrain the creature using the spider lady's webbing, and decided to try to use that to his advantage. He braced himself against the wall and pushed with the whole strength of his body back against the abomination while it was focused on throwing the spider lady. When the momentum of his shove had carried them both sufficiently far from the wall, Cyrano got his feet under him and finally released the nearly severed wrist to launch himself with all his speed and might at the abominations knees, mouth and claws agape seeking purchase to again grapple the foe. It was easy to do, the webbing soon caught Cyrano up along with the abominations legs, but he gave little heed to his own entaglement. He did, as he continued to kick and thrash and claw and bite in an effort to topple the abomination, give a thought to Eh-cho and sir godfrey of penshold and what the crushing weight of the beast might do to those smaller and made of less solid material. "Ware fellows!" Cyrano shouted.... or meant to shout. "Wharwwflllllofffff!" It sounded more to his ears. Oh well. No help for it now, there was webbing thoroughly covering his eyes now as well.

"How d'ya do" Shep said pleasantly as a girl he hadnt met joined the group, and then as a general comment to the rest of them "she's right, let's quit the grab assin', recieve our mission and get it done." This said, he turned to give the scientist an expectant look.

Cyrano let down the narrow hallway after fazra, and it was only at this point that he noticed spider thing, and the ensnaring webs that it had woven in its own struggles against the abomination.
"Fellow or foe?" He asked himself out loud while still turning his attention to the abomination rather than the spider thing. If it attacked him, then he would know.
He placed himself at Fazras side as the abomination regained it's balance and pressed the attack in another great sweeping arc, seemingly teying to cleave through both fazra and cyrano in one blow. Had either of them been lacking in either strength or courage, the abomination might have done so, but as it was, Cyrano caught the blow that still nearly threw him into fazra, and bit down hard on the things wrist. A bite that would have easily sheared through most of a man did not loosen the abominations grip on its weapon, but still Cyrano reared and braced himself to try to keep the weapon pinned so that another could close and destroy the thing. Cyrano did not need the taste that he got of the creature to know that it's strength and endurance were magically fueled, but knowing so helped assuage his pride at not being able to take the things arm off in one blow
