Looking at the building impassively, Kasiya ponders. The building hadn't done him any harm. He wasn't really all that angry at it. More considering. They didn't have a great deal to work with.
"These places, we climb as far as we can and find the... stairs? We can move up and in?"
He's not sure if his judgement here is sound. Large human buildings weren't his speciality.

"Well. I made an oversight." Kamut approaches the building anyway, eyeing windows and ledges for handholds. "It will get us past the front desk and locks at least, though I couldn't guess at how secure they are on the other floors. Then it's just a matter of staying unnoticed. Did the stone guide you to a particular floor?"

He shakes his head
"No. It just does up and down."
They would need the Rite again, and it took ten minutes of uninterrupted concentration. They might not have that much time once they were in. The glass eyes would be watching them. They would need to act like humans.

"We could still peek through at the floors we can reach, maybe discover if they have a basement. If we find something suspiscious, we could investigate further." He starts up onto the ground floor window ledge, then stretches reaches up for the first floor window ledge, continuing as far as the building will allow. At the top he waits for Kasiya and continues his role of watching for danger, doubley important so close to a place of Weaver-taint.

Climbing after his sneaky companion, Kasiya gets up as high as he can and be on something resembling a floor before beginning to peek through the gauntlet. What he's really looking for is a quiet place for them to slip through into. Perhaps some stairs. Stairs were good in buildings. He was sure of that. He lets the shape of the webs guide him to the place he wants before beginning his search.
"If something comes, touch me."

It wasn't an easy climb, and Kasiya almost lost his footing and slipped more than once, but he was able to climb to the seconds floor before realising that it was too dangerous to continue any further. The walls here would barely support his weight, and if he fell, he would probably land in the middle of the spiders. He stopped for a peek inside, and though the gauntlet resisted, he managed to push his senses through and catch a glimpse of a large white room with rows of shelves and a number of tables with strange contraptions on them. There were two men in white coats in the room, standing by one of the tables and studying something on the table. There were two doors in the room. One across the room, which probably led out into the hall, and one on Kasiya's right.

This wasn't necessarily a good place to be in Crinos. The climb was done, he had no need of all that strength and power. Or weight. He wills himself smaller, into the Glabro form before going any further.
"Two men here. White coats. Working."
Drawing his senses back into his own eyes he makes his careful way first to take a quick peek at the table the men were looking at, then to the door on the right and Peeking again.
"Two white coats might be useful."
Violence against the innocent. That's not what I do. But Strider Kin are at risk. This is just.

Kamut nods and joins Kasiya in his choice of form. "Two sets of eyes see more than one, yes?" Providing Kasiya doesn't object, Kamut will peek once he has finished. Specifically he will look for signs of security sensors or cameras, locking mechanisms on the two doors and any sort of equipment the two men are carrying.

Far from objecting, once Kasiya has checked beyond the door he takes on guard duty, keen eyes sweeping over the umbral structure and even beyond, across the web-ridden cityscape.

Although Kasiya gets a decent of view of whatever the two men are looking at, he can't make sense of the scribbled notes or strange markings on the papers. He turns to peek behind the door. He pushed his senses through, but before he can get a look at the other side a horrible feeling settled in. He suddenly felt lost, and numb, and very cold, and as tried to come back, he found he had lost his way, and couldn't find his body.
Waiting patiently for his turn to peek, Kamut realises something is wrong as Kasiya lies there motionlessly, staring blankly into space and showing no signs of life. Furthermore, the spiders seem to have taken interest in the large dark motionless man, and have started approaching him carefully.

Kamut looks down at Kasiya with some amount of concern. He didn't just look like he was peeking, his eyes aren't glowing. Not to jump to conclusions, Kamut pats Kasiya on the shoulder firmly to see if he can be brought back to his body. When he sees the spiders approaching, he reverts to his natural form, flexing his claws. He isn't sure it's a great idea to move Kasiya before he comes to his senses, but he knows that leaving him to be calcified would do a lot more harm. He waits anyway, sparing Kasiya a little time to recover while the spiders draw a little closer.

Kasiya doesn't feel Kamut's hand on his shoulder. He doesn't see the spiders close in either. It is all the Theurge can do to stop himself panicking, stuck in between the worlds as he is.

Kamut doesn't waste any more time. He picks up Kasiya's body, slings it over his shoulder, and jumps off of the building. Even if it goes badly, he can take a broken leg better than he can take a brawl with endless pattern spiders.

Kamut clears the jump and lands with a thud, although he feels nothing break. He manages to hold on to Kasiya's limp and less than conscious body as he falls, and by the time he's made it to a safe distance, the pain of the impact has already faded. The spider don't pursue. They prefer to stay back and guard their territory, returning to work shortly afterwards.
Kasiya doesn't look aware of what's going on. He seems to still be in his own world for now.

Once they're a safe distance away, Kamut sets Kasiya's body down. After a few moments indecision, he attempts to wake Kasiya up. First, by patting him gently around the face, but since the original pat hadn't worked he decides to take drastic measures. Knowing his Glabro form would allow injury to heal soon enough, he takes Kasiya's left arm in one hand, braces a foot against his shoulder, and tries to pull it out of the socket with all the strength of his natural form. If that doesn't wake him up... Well, he's probably not waking up.
