Ivy had little doubt that this was something new. The creatures that had grabbed her had been much closer to her own size.

Alex forces himself to remain calm and steadies his gun, planning to fire on either of these creatures if they move towards them with malicious intent. He hopes to avoid doing so, however-- he knows he has limited ammo.

William goes slack-jawed.

Jerry is terrified beyond words, but keeps himself steady nonetheless. This couldn't be natural, it wasn't right at all, but it was as real as he was and he would have to fight. Jerry raises his gun and fires, not waiting for these awful creatures to make the first move!

One of the ghoulish creatures swayed as Jerry’s bullet creased its arm but otherwise looked imperturbed. The second creature waved a casual hand in front of itself and the cavern was plunged into near darkness!
In the corridor, the only thought in William’s mind was to get out of this place. This cramped, haunted place with the tunnels and the ungodly creatures! How long had they been down here anyway? It was time they left but the way out was blocked! They’d have to leave by another way, but which? Why was everyone waiting for him to decide?! Hadn’t they been paying attention?! It was this way, wasn’t it?! At least they’d be away from those creatures!!

Ivy keeps a tight grip on her lantern; these are no degenerate, easily frightened ape creatures!
“Perhaps discretion is the better part of valour,” she hisses as she backs away. “Let’s find another way out.”

"Indeed," Alex nods. "These things can apparently control the light in here. Form up, as a group back to back," He says, recalling his tine in the service. "Those with guns in the front, William and Ivy in the back. We'll slowly navigate our way out of here, shifting so that whichever way we're going has the firearms in the front in case we encounter a threat."
Re: Ch. 14c. Together Again (all)
"I've gotta get outta here!" cries William, turning around and running in the opposite direction from the organ room.

Re: Ch. 14c. Together Again (all)
Leaving everyone else standing, William sprinted away down a nearby tunnel…

"Darn it!" Alex curses--for him. William is having an episode, and despite his caution around the man the officer still felt obligated to help him. Him going off on his own would be near certain death, as he would get lost or fall prey to some dark creature.
He chases after him, hoping to catch up and restrain the man. Hopefully the others would follow him, they could not afford to get separated.

Hitching up what's left of her skirt, Ivy follows suit and races off after the pair.
Re: Ch. 14c. Together Again (all)
William keeps running, following his instincts.

"William, what the hell are you- get back here!" Jerry gives chase as best he can with his bad leg, hoping that those horrible creatures he had seen weren't coming up behind him. Those things had the home advantage in this hellish tangle of caves, and the one he'd put a hole in didn't seem to perturbed by getting shot in the arm. He had another measure to harm them, that little firebomb he'd put together earlier, but there was only one and Jerry wasn't too confident in his throwing arm at the moment.

Re: Ch. 14c. Together Again (all)
William’s desk job clearly wasn’t equipping him for running so it was easy enough for the others to keep pace. He ran past two openings on his left then ran down a short passage and into a room…
OOC: If you wish, you can explore the openings that William ran past. If so, just say and I’ll tell you what was there. If you carry on read the spoilered text for William below. |

"William, stop!" Alex continues to follow him, easily keeping up. Then he notices the serpent and the alter.
Re: Ch. 14c. Together Again (all)
With bulletproof inhuman monsters with the ability to control light on her tail, Ivy also elects to follow William (the alternative probably being getting lost alone in the tunnels again).
She stops up short, eyes wide, as she enters the grotto.
Re: Ch. 14c. Together Again (all)
William is transfixed.

Jerry finds a new appreciation for architecture.
