>How this works.
Suggest an action and then depending how feasible it is, the spider will act.

You are just an ordinary spider in moder day earth. You have no special powers, other than your intellect.

Making silk costs proteins, which you can restore by eating. Your mate has his own protein reserves. You both have currently 95% if your reserves.

You can upgrade your nest with silk.Your nest currently has the following improvements:
>Small rudimentary web nest:
>Storage chamber
-30 units of food, 2 chitin plates, 3 metal shards, 1 chitin armor.
>8 slingshots.
>Trap webs near the base of the tree.
>Aphid pen.
-5 aphids.
>Warning web at the entrance to the tree hole and warning lines.
>Drop down net attached to the ceiling at the entrance.

Your current skills:
>Efficient web architecture.
-The protein cost of your silk structures is reduced by 5 units. Structures costing 5 units will still cost 1 unit.

You also need to feed your family.
Your siblings, brood and Isaac combined require 15 units of food per day. They are fed for this day however. You and Dorpou require 4 units of food combined.

What do will you do next?

AS a long term project, can we build a fungus chamber? It will attract other insects for us to hunt. Like cow/sheep in a field? And we are the wolves...

I forgot to add that in the last session you also planned to go and meet the bees, and maybe get them to ally with you by giving them the sweet nectar that the green plants inside the tree hole secrete.

>>18093577

Feasible. There are already fungus and mushrooms growing inside the tree hole, so cultivating them is technically possible.
Although the mushrooms you have encountered thus far don't seem very edible.

We have to be careful with the bees. What if they want our sweet nectar source to themselves?

But right now, we concentrate on getting more aphids, or upgrading our pen to be more breeding friendly.

>>18093632

So what will you do?
Upgrade the pen or get more aphids? Note that the current pen can barely hold the 5 aphids inside it already.

bumb

OK .. um.

The red sticky stuff has potential. Maybe we can line the entrance with it, save for 1 spot left clean as our entrance pathway?

Good ant defense I think. Still need better anti-air stuff.

>>18093773

You pick up a stick and smear the red stuff at the entrance of the hole.

>>18093632

We don't have to tell them where it came from. We also don't have to say were we are living.

I'm for taking up a supply of sweet stuff as an offering, mount up Andor with Bibi and maybe one other.

Take the dragonfly with us, he can carry the goods.

Go looking for bees, just a scout or food gatherer to start, let's NOT crash the main hive. Talk to them, make an offering, take it easy, see how it goes.

Before this any other orders anyone have for home defense?

Bee hunt!

>>18093814

You use leaves and silk to make a makeshift container for the nectar, and roll it inside a small web sack. Unfortunately the dragonfly is still too exhausted to fly anywhere, so Andor will need to carry both you and the supplies.

Bubbles, Dorpou and Ranou leave to guard the nest.

For lack of any better ideas check out the flowers area?
<=

>>18093927
You head towards the sunflowers

Oh yeah sunflowers! Them'll do nicely.

andor have any concerns here? he ever dealt with bees?

A bee confronts you.

"Halt! Who comes to our nectar fields?"

"Greetings oh magnificent fuzzy flier of industrious grace personified! Spare us a moment of your busy day that we may chat of things of concern to us both?"

( Can't wait to she gets a good look at us. Can she even tell what we are in that armor? )

"Not much, just a fellow bee, wondering if there are any weaknesses in our hive that I should be helping to fill in. Just out here, doing, you know, bee stuff."

>>18094057
This

...

The bee is baffled by your compliments.

"Oh you.. by the queen, I am not worthy of such high words! I am just a lowly gatherer. what is that you seek here?"

"We face a myriad of threats of ever changing scope. it is time for the better denizens of this world to unite in honorable alliance! We would speak of these things and of the one threat that looms above all others. we know your schedule admits of no foolishness. We demonstrate our earnestness with a gift that
you may judge us worthy of your time. Perhaps we may speak of this and more to the queen?"

>>18094170

Not sure if we should just charge in and see the queen if they let us. Oh well - so much for taking it easy.

>>18094110

Utterly off-topic, but I never noticed Humungus looks like a Stormcloak soldier.

>>18094207

What I'm really looking for is something like:

MadMaxTrainEscape"Plan?There'sNoPlan".jpg

As I think it's coming up, like, soon. But there's always room for Humungus.

>>18094170

"You got a gift? Gift for us? That's sweet! What is it? Unfortunately I can't take you to the queen. I am not worthy of being in her presence. Only the council of the elder sisters and the royal guard are allowed to address her. "

>>18094256

They let us land on their sunflower. At least that's some progress. I'm for dropping the goods and jetting.

"A message then. We would discuss these matters at a time and place of better convenience. Perhaps you could appoint an ambassador to meet with us? And as a gesture of our sincerity and good will please take this and make good use of it."

>>18094256
Ask where we can find the elder sisters or royal guard. And ask for her name. It can never hurt to have one more ally.

>>18094311

Yeah we might wanna hang and chat for a bit if they're ok with it. Ask about any current events or news?

God, that bee is so cute!

>>18094304
>>18094311
>>18094367
You hand the nectar to her, and she curiously opens the web bundle.
"Smells sweet! Is it nectar?"

Before leaving you ask her about the Royal Guard and the council.

"I can't tell thing like that to an outsider, sorry."

You also ask her name.
"Name?"

As you are about to ask more another bee appears.

"What's going on here? Who are these interlopers? You, scent 321! Why are you idling with these outsiders? And what is that what you have there?"

"Overseer, I can explain!"

"No need! Report back to the nest for punitive action. Dealings with outsiders are against the rules!"

Did Scent 321 take the nectar with him, or is it still with us?

>>18094491

She didn't touch it yet, but the bundle that contains the nectar is with her.

>>18094472
Tell the overseer it was entirely our fault. We want to open diplomatic relations with the bees.

Ugg. Red tape.

"Your pardon overseer! A message for your Grand Queen and council. No one should be idle in these times of great import, and I'm all for a show of discipline! But this little one needs to finish her task at hand first and deliver this message. Bee about your business as the fine overseer commands 321! Go on shoo!"

( Finger crossing time, etc. )

>>18094472
Beg to not punish 321.

Also, we should remember 321's face, in case we might cross paths again. Remember to give her a proper name.

Yes, ask for 321 to not be punished.

>>18094527
>>18094537
>>18094592

"And what makes you think that we would be willing to associate with you? What is the message, a lowly pollen picker like 321 isn't worthy of addressing her betters. I will take it to the evaluation of the council, and you will go away. In the unlikely case that the council agrees to whatever you are proposing, we will send someone to find you."

You ask her not to punish 321.

"Outsiders have no business interfering in our business. Begone! 321 deserves whatever is coming for her for failing to inform me of your presence immediately!"

>>18094684
"We wish for an alliance with the bees, to eliminate the wasps that plague the land."
Bow as we say this.

OK, at this point I'm torn between actions one of:

a) "Yes sir, etc. If you want more sweets goods see to it that 321 is your appointed ambassador. We will return noon tomorrow."

- or -

b) We're a jumping spider with quick reflexes and the idiot is hovering right over us. Let's take him & tie him up, non lethally. We're armored right? "We talk the talk but we can fly the line too pal." Shoo off 321 with a suggestion she be the ambassador and then jet.

Any thoughts /tg?

>>18094736

I think neither of those would be very good, even though we like 321, if we respect their society and its ways we are much more likely to gain diplomatic standing in the long run.

I say we basically ask him for a chance to hear us out for an alliance against the Wasps.

>>18094721

"You WHAT!? Are you insane? By the queen, don't even say things like that! If the wasps would hear that, they would punish us! It is enough that they take their share of our honey and larva! If they knew about this ,they would slaughter us all!

Go away you, you...INSANE little spider! Go, before you doom us!"

Say nothing and leave. Let them consider our offer, if they refuse they will meet the power of our empire as the wasps will. It's only a matter of time.

>>18094736
I don't think risking a severe diplomatic incident and possible military conflict with the bees is a good idea.

>>18094782
And back to the tree we go.

OK, we'll play nice, or at least smartly. Still see if we can judge the distance and probability of of nabbing the overseer.

"Dedicated overseer! We admire your magnificent work ethic and your commitment to your people is a fine example for all Bee kind. To ease your efforts and belay any loss of time We would meet again here at noon tomorrow. Have 321 around again as a carrier of another offering for us if you please! Well shall now depart and trouble you no more this day."

>>18094782

Lets just leave now, we have other work to do and they now our offer is on the table.

Yay spider quest! I missed a few issue, but... Where is Bubble McTitty and why she isn't with us?

If we do leave now direct Andor to take a stop at the aphid fields for a snack. We'll stand guard.

Point being let's not just head directly back.

>>18094852

Shes back in the tree. There is no way she would make a good choice for an ambassador, best to leave her home.

>>18094861

Sounds good, its a lot nicer than forcing him to just head back after our work.

You leave the shocked bees to their flower.
Where do you go now?

>>18094852

She needed some down time and as we've seen they're not too fond of wasps of any sort.

>>18094888
Aphid fields, I suppose.

To the Aphid fields!

>>18094888
Aphid fields to get some food.

Then we should get on extending our aphid pen.

>>18094888

Aphid hunt.

"Thank's Andor, that was a little hairy. Nice to have you here with me thru that. Let's get you a snack."

Let's hunt some aphids, but I thing than try to get in the good side of another garden power will be smart.

Bleah. I still thing we could've take him.

I have an idea that I think would be neat, but before going on with it, I think that I should ask you what you think about it.

I was thinking that you could play as 321 for a while, to mix things up. What do you guys think? I don't want to force it if you prefer to play as Bibi.

>>18094922
If the bees don't send anyone to contact us, we'll have to go directly to the hive.

>>18094929
Us against the Bees would be like a chihuahua messing with a great dane.

Something to think about /tg. It looks like the bees *do* have a big problem with the wasps. That's good we can use that. Suggestion: Maybe we should show up to the next meet with a tied up wasp prisoner? Think about it.

Now have at them Aphids.

>>18094932
sounds cool, let's do it.

>>18094932
Sounds kinda interesting.
We should wrap Bibi's day up first tho.

>>18094932
It seems too easy to metagame.

"Clearly the life of a bee is shit. I will pretend to report back for punishment, but instead, I will loop around and go with the spider!"

If /tg/ is the chihuahua I pity the Great dane. Let's do it.

>>18094954
Except the great dane has wings and a poisoned spear instead of a tail.

>>18094932

Yeah, I think we can handle that, especially if you feel the need to mix things up OP.

>>18094973

You assume that I allow you to metagame.
Maybe a little but nothing like ditching the hive just because some random spider talked to me few moments ago.

>>18095000
What would be the point of playing 321? What could we do?

>>18095021

Well if we're gonna get down and dirty with Bee society it might be nice to have a better look at it, from the inside.

Other quests have gone this route. Let's give the OP some creative play room.

>>18095021

This wouldn't be permanent of course.
I just felt like it would be neat little experiment.

We can start our own hive revolution! Appoint a queen larva at the throne and be the evil vizir for example. Bibi has planted the seed of individuality in us when she asked our name. Let's dig it.

I like it. Lets do this,

Alrighty then!

Bibi and Andor go on a wild aphid hunt.

Meanwhile:

You are a small female bee, whose scent is 321. one that the administrator registered in this egg batch. Recently, a strange spider clad in makeshift armor came and chatted with you claiming to seek an alliance between the bees and the spiders. The spider also gave you a bundle containing sweet smelling nectar.

Unfortunately, your overseer didn't like this at all, and thus, she send you to be punished by the disciplinary officers.

What do you do?

Outlaw bee anyone?

"ButthisspiderthingshowedupandItriedtostopthemand .. a ladybug? .. andthere'sthissweetofferingand .. yes Overseer."

Engage pout mode.

>>18095103
Try to talk your way out of it.
Do we still have the nectar? Maybe show the officer some of it / ask if he knows what it is.

>>18095103

Attempt to ignore orders and follow Bibi to investigate their base and determine what they really want.

I think we're just gonna have to take it like a .. uh .. drone.

We could just grab the goods and head back to the hive while the overseer gets his ( Her? They're all females right? Might need a ruling from OP here this could get confusing. ) equilibrium back?

>>18095163
What did we say about metagaming dammit

>>18095163
No. We're a lowly worker drone. Not some sort of spec ops bee.

>>18095163

2 votes for Detective 123

>>18095135

You aren't exactly happy about this development.
It's not like you actually told the spider anything important.
>>18095158

You attempt to talk to the overseer.
"Silence! You are way too talkative for your own good. For all of our good. Be glad that I got there before you spouted something that may cause even more harm to us that you already did."

You ask about the nectar.
"Whatever it is, it is for the council to decide. I will be bringing it to them directly."

>>18095163

"And you better fly directly to the nest missy, or you will be in even bigger trouble than you already are."

>>18095206
Basically this.

>>18095229

Well I'm apparently retarded today. Detective 321.

>>18095206

The bees are by large, all female. The male drones are few and far between, and do not actually posses any other purpose than breeding.

Oh well, let's see what the justice system has on offer today. In this dangerous world it's not like they can afford to just waste drones "pour encourager les autres."

>>18095286
in b4 commissar bee BLAMing uppity drones left and right.

>>18095297

Oh gawd LOLing! I know, right?

You fly back to your nest.

>>18095322

Inb4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDSf3Kshq1M

Wait, what? Is that a proper commercially engineered and built hive? The Giants are running the show here?

Not of any use to know at this point but interesting ...

>>18095362
As 321, we might know if the giants open the hive to take honey.

Do we remember this?

>>18095362

Wait, going on meta knowledge we could totally use this bit of knowledge to poison the giants and get them out of the way. Could also get the bees blamed for his death too.

After we use them to deal with the wasps anyway.

>>18095322

Do wacky aerial maneuvers on the way there to rebel against authority as we follow the rules begrudgingly.

>>18095424
Using meta knowledge, we know that killing a human is more likely to create additional problems than to solve them.

You enter the nest.

" You go straight to the drone chambers and seek the Disciplinary officer to administer your punishment. I'll be taking this to the Royal chamber for the council to see."

>>18095462
Go to the drone chambers.

>>18095462

Dammit! Typos in my pics! Fuck! This is embarrassing.

>>18095476
You just missed an A. Who cares?

>>18095462

To the drone room we go. Let's hope our punishment isn't quite as bad as waxing the male bees to get them ready to make more drones or something equally titillating to /tg/'s alarmingly large insect loving community.

>>18095437

I'm guessing we're known for this. May as well enjoy our last few moments of relative freedom on the way to the Drone chamber. Screw around a bit.

What's the worst that can happen? We end up feeding larvae as hard labor for a week or two. Bring it.

Bees confirmed as spelling challenged. Who has time for it anyways, GIT BCK 2 WRK!

You head to the Drone chambers.
As you enter, you encounter another worker.
"Hey 321!
How are you doing?"

"Hello 313."

What do you do?

>>18095643

btw sorry if the updates take too long. I have to plan and draw new backgrounds and that takes time.

>>18095643
Tell her about the spider and how you're being punished and all that.

>>18095643
Tell him what happened.

>>18095643

"We're doomed."

Tellum about our chance encounter and the overseer.

>>18095657

Understood.

You tell her of your predicament.

"Aww, that sucks. Dam the officers are going in to the overdrive now that the wasps are about to retrieve their "share" of our work.
That spider sounds very strange, why would it come to you and talk about that kind of silly stuff.

Well, never mind that. All non fliers are crazy anyways, right! Do you need to go to the Officers right now, or do you have time to chat? I am heading to the mess hall to get some grub. We could go together."

Reeks of bad idea but maybe we should do lunch. It'll give the higher ups time to chew on the news and maybe we'll be rescued from bad end.

Or, you know, the little rebel gets into more hot water.

We could always start a food fight and go out Animal House style?

>>18095756
Tell her you'll catch up soon, don't want to get in more trouble than we already are and head to the offices.

>>18095756
I'd say we go and get chewed out.
Not want to rile the officers up even more.

>>18095798
>>18095800

Which is it?

>>18095853
To the officer's hall!

>>18095862

You wave 313 good bye and head to the Officer's lounge.

>>18095905
Look for that disciplinary officer.

Sorry guys, something came up.
I'll need to take a small break. I'll be back within 30 minutes.

>>18095950

Oh wow what luck! This poster has to run for a bit too.

( Thread archived so no worries, etc. )

bumping periodically

Whooohoooo spider's in the shed...shouldn't the title be named something else now?

Alright, I am back.

>>18096213
Welcome Back. So, what happens at the Officer Lounge?

>>18096204

Perhaps.
Though nothing is preventing you from returning to the shed, if you so desire.

>>18096278
Except there's angry humans in there.

Still, Bees, officer's lounge.

>>18096268

It seems busy.
The scent of these portals doesn't mention anything about the Disciplinary office.
Guesswork time!

>>18096329
To....administration?

>>18096329
Try Worker Relations

>>18096343

This I would think

>>18096340
>>18096343

1 vote for administration.
1 vote for worker relations.

>>18096340
I'm with administration

>>18096360

2 votes for relations.

Anyone disagrees?

>>18096367

2 for administration.

I think I should stop counting these.

I'll go with administration

Administration it is!

Here's hoping we'll only get yelled at or something

You enter the administration portal.
A bored bee sits in the center of the lobby, her scent is of a lower officer.

"What do you want worker? Do you have some business here?"

>>18096546
"Um...hi...we were sent for disciplinary action. Talking to an outsider who brought the hive honey."

>>18096546
Tell her what happened. Everything.

>>18096546
Tell the officer that you were sent by your superior to be given your shift off for working diligently.

>>18096546

"Woah, woah, woah! I don't need to hear your life story, and besides you are at the wrong place.
This is administration, not worker relations. The disciplinary office is the third portal at the left inside the Worker relations chamber.
Go now, you must be in a hurry. "

>>18096637
Well, we know where we need to go next.

>>18096637
Well off of the disciplinary chamber it is then.

>>18096637
>worker relations

Told ya.

Out of curiosity check the other chamber?

You arrive at the disciplinary chamber.
An old bee is sitting in the middle of the lobby.

"How may I help. Are you perhaps reporting in for rule violation?"

>>18096732
"Yes, I am. They were so nice too, giving us honey..."

"Right. What's the penalty for greeting an outside ambassador?"

>>18096732
Explain to him everything that happened but emphasize that you were disciplined even though you were doing your best to retrieve as much nectar for the hive as you could during your shift.

Attaboy /tg. Let's see if we can sleaze our way thru this!

>>18096732

Every time I see a thing like this I'm reminded of the old dude from tron who sat on the throne thing who got killed by Sark.

Anyway, explain your story and paint the one who sent you there in a NAZI light while doing it. Make yourself sound like Anna Frank.

"WellthisspiderthingcameupsoIstoppeditand .. this ladybug .. andshehadhoneywithamessagetothecouncilandqueenbuttheoverseercameupandthenshewaschasedoffbut .."

>>18096811
Genius

>Disciplinary action is a long talk with the old bee

You try to weasel your way out of this mess by explaining what happened.

Unfortunately the old bee doesn't even let you finish.

"Save your tales to the disciplinary officer. They won't move me. Just walk to the punishment chamber to your left, and wait for your turn. Remember, the pain of today grows to a lesson for tomorrow. A happy worker has learned many lessons."

(help! I got a warning that my pic contained malicious code when I tried to post it. Wat do?)

>>18096856

Roll with it. It's all a part of the chan experience, happens to us all.

Was it a GIF? Maybe change a few pixels and try again when convenient.

>>18096856
Go to the disciplinary lounge for drawing malicious code! Stat!

On a slightly more serious note, ask him what she should do to make sure her superior knows that she was disciplined. Maybe we can get out of this whole process.

>>18096886

It wasn't a gif.
I'd rather not risk getting banned in the middle of the quest though.

>>18096904

Yeah don't worry about it, just move on.

Maybe change and post it again at the end when you do the questions / cool down thing.

>>18096904
Not really sure. I have had this happen to me before but never was banned for it.

Never mind the one pic.

You enter the punishment chamber. It seems that there are few others here too.

Might as well ask them what they're in for.

Pick someone ...

"So what are you in for pal?"

>>18096970
Engage in casual conversation

>>18096970
Discuss the conversation you had with the spider with your fellows, perhaps isite some dissent with your fellow drones.

>>18096982
>>18097011

You try to strike up some small talk.

"So, what are you in for?"

"Me?" Asks the bee on your left.
"I was late from the patrol schedule, and because of that, a wasp raid managed to steal our all the nectar and pollen that the morning retrieval had collected for delivery, not to mention that they slaughtered the guards. The disciplinary officer is going to rip of my antennae!"

"I stole some royal jelly." Boasts the bee to your right.
" They are going to have me scrub the hatchery floor for the rest of my life. Totally worth it."

>>18097113
That's one bad ass beetch...

>>18096970

Well my guess for what the corrupted picture was was completely wrong.

"Royal jelly's OK and all but anyone seen any - " - hushed voice - " male drones?"

>>18097124

Beehave yourself. Too much punning summons that which lurks betwixt the words.

>>18097113

>stole royal jelly

We've got a rebel on our claws here. Ask her why she stole it.

"Even outsiders hate wasps. A spider approached me with an offer to ally against them, I guess that's why I'm here."

>>18097143

"Male drones? No I haven't. Why, we can't even reproduce."

"Who gives a buzz about male drones when you can have royal jelly?"

"I have! That's why I am here though..." one bee yells from the other bench.
>>18097164
"Because it tastes better than anything in the world! They feed it to the larva that will develop to new queens!"

>>18097113
So we are all going to end up mauled or dead? Can't we start a small rebel group?

>>18097215
Ask what usually happens to bees that speak to outsiders.

>>18097228

Second.

>>18097228
thirded

>>18097228

" I don't actually know. I guess it depends on what you said and to who."

"Nope! They get their mouthparts sealed with wax, so that they can only eat, but never again will they be able to speak! Sounds fun! And besides, you always talked too much anyways."

>>18097304
"B-...but...they only wanted to give us honey."

>>18097338
Nectar.

Mouth wax?

That's a problem. I guess we could chew thru eventually.

>>18097338
Nectar dammit, if other bees hear us say shit like this they're gonna kick our pathetic ass.

>>18097304
Ask why we just don't just split, since obeying the rules is only going to get us maimed. Apparently the wasps have weakened the nest lately. Escaping and going to see the spider that gives us food is a much better bet than staying here.

>>18097304
This guy is really starting to buzz me.

We can always ditch the hive if they really seal our mouth with wax.

Sounds like we can get thru this if we keep up appearances. We can Rebel out later and ditch the wax after a good show of quietude.

>>18097338

"If I were you, I wouldn't take anything that dumb bitch says at face value. She has never done anything honest since the day she hatched."

"Are you buzzing little sheeple calling me a liar?! I can take you on! Come here and say that! You blind clueless excuse for a drone!"

>>18097433
"Guys...hey, guys...guys?"

>>18097433

Forgot mah name

>>18097433
Oh look, its our turn to get punished, lets get away from them!

>>18097433
Take a peek inside where the bees are being sentenced to see for yourself what you are fated to deal with.

Let there be riot!

1.Provoke
2.Call drones
3.????
4.Escape!

You try to peek inside to see what is going on while the two other bees verbally assault each other.

>>18097618
OH GOD ARE THOSE WASP RAPING THEM?!

>>18097634
ARE THEY GONNA RAPE US?

QUESTION:

Can we go Super Apis 3 and kill everything?

It's like Super Sayian 3 only Apis.

>>18097696
Apis? Like, the bull-shaped deity worshiped in the Memphis region?

>>18097634

You are pretty sure that they are just larger bees.
Wasps inside the hive...that is preposterous. It could never happen!

>>18097618
Fuck that shit! We're getting out of here. Ask if anyone wants to come along.

>>18097710
No, Apis like the genus of the Honeybee.

>>18097716
D'aww...that's kind of adorable...wait a sec...

OH GOD ARE THOSE LARGE BEES RAPING THEM?!

Can we try to get a closer look?

>>18097618
"Hey, guys? I think we should get out of here before we're punished. I took a look inside and whatever's in there is too big for any of us to deal with on our own... This doesn't seem right somehow."

>>18097737

Why... Female on female rape! How would it even work! Why would they even do that? It's abhorrent!

No way anything like that is going on there! No way! NEVER! That is IMPOSSIBLE!

>>18097802
What if those are drones? Is that possible?

>>18097716

This is the wasp's payment.

>>18097802

Oh...my...

>>18097802
Guys we are freaking the fuck out.
Lets get our terrified abdomen out of here!

Why did this become beequest?

Bees are adorable, but what about teaching our babies the dance of our people!

Beerape please.

>>18097836

Read the thread. Just an intermission to change things up for a short while. And 321 is adorable. That's why

Consensus seem to lean towards jetting.

We're pretty freaked.

>>18097836

Change of scene for creative sake, Bibi's still out there and will return.

We're getting a first hand good look at our potential allies. Relax and roll with it.

>>18097802
Fly the fuck out of here and go back to the sunflower, see if we can go see that spider that was being nice to us.

Commence operation "Freak the fuck out and get the fuck out of here"!

>>18097836

Don't worry, Bibi will return. This is just a temporary intermission and a closer look at the bee society.

Do you guys really think there is any way for us to get out of a hive alive once the others notice we've gone rogue?

>>18097917
Oh shit oh shit oh shit-

>>18097924
Bees all look alike, and they smell with their antennae or something, as long as we stay away from the guy who sent us here, we should be fine.

>>18097937
Damn man, that's speciest!

>>18097924

Let's deal with that once they notice. Until then let's explore!

>>18097917
I just wanted to make sure the OP wasn't burning out, I do enjoy my spiderquest every week.

>>18097937
And what about the overseer bee?
It's not like he's gonna see us running for it and sounding some sort of alarm.

We should run over to get lunch first. Meeting up with the drone we met on the way and telling them what we saw might be worth it. Right now the only bees who know our side of the story are a thief and a "deserter." If we have to leave we should at least make sure someone could argue our case while we're gone.

You are getting the buzz out of here!

>>18097980
I like how they're expressions are just like "...Da fug?"

>>18097980
Go talk with worker 313."

>>18097980
Are we going to go back to the sunflower to find the spider. If so, we should find some kind of offering for it, so we can join it's hive. Look around, while we are escaping.

Still getting the buzz out of here!

>>18097978

Sounds like a plan.

>>18098025
Good, hes asleep, no problem then.

Seems clear! Gotta go fast!

>>18098036
Either that or she's too old for this crap.

>>18098020
>>18097978
Can we combine both of these?

>>18098045
Maybe we should slow down, we dont want to draw attention to ourselves.

Music for the escape:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2vc7Zunsvk

>>18098054
If we combine those we should meet with 313 first. She'd probably ask why we're carrying around stolen things in our nonexistent pockets.

Also, if we're meeting with 313 first, we should probably slow down so we don't smack into anyone and become incredibly suspicious. I can see it now...

>Hey, did you just slam into me coming from the direction of worker relations?
>Um...no?

It seems you managed to slip by!
You probably should slow down though...

Guys, if we get caught, can we fake PTSD or something due to the encounter with the spider?

>>18098115

Smack!

"You are 321, aren't you?"
"This is quite convenient. Come with me!"

Her scent reveals her status as a royal guard.

>>18098148

A fair cop - it was a good run.

>>18098148
Aww yeah! Go with her; this is going to be good.

>Royal guard

Damn that's a big boned girl.

>>18098148
Uh oh.
Either we're getting laid off or royally (pun intended) buttfucked now.

>>18098148
We should start crying little bee tears and say "They were going to touch me in my no-no zones!"

>>18098148
Nothing much we can do. Lead the way Mrs. Big and Scary.

"Your overseer has requested you to be delivered to the council room inside the Royal Chamber.
She insisted that you will be able to explain what the buzz is going on in there. The Queen is most worried."

>>18098212
"The queen? Oh god, I forgot to send my Christmas card and-"

>>18098212
"WelltherewasthisSPIDERanditgavemenectarandthenigotintroubleandwenttogetdisciplinedanditwasscar
yandIonlyWANTEDTOHELP!!!" ;_;

>>18098254
So many times this.

"There you are! This is a DISASTER!
The councilors have gone mad! While you were gone, one of them even went and gave that stuff to the Queen! Now she is also gone nuts! WHAT WAS THAT BUZZING STUFF THE SPIDER GAVE YOU! IT HAS MESSED UP OUR WHOLE LEADERSHIP!

>>18098321
Damn you, Bibi.

>>18098321
Pahahaha, they be hopped up on that crack...gel...

>>18098321
"W-...what?"

"I can go find the spider! She can tell me where she found it!"

"I don't know."
"Are you saying they just ate it without knowing what it was?"

>>18098321

Um. Oopsie. Clearly Bibi needs a competent material handling department.

Fine. Off to our doom. At least we get to see the hierarchy stagger about before it all comes crashing down.

Define nuts?
What are they doing?

>>18098350
All for this

"WELL YOU BETTER FIND OUT! RIGHT THE BUZZ NOW! WE CAN'T KEEP THIS HUSHED UP FOR LONG! YOU WILL GO AND FIND THAT....

' I want more of that good stuff.... hey were is everyon....agh..uuf.. BRING ME MORE!"

The loud shriek emanates from the royal chamber.

"The Queen...."

The red stuff cam from a mushroom, no?
The Bee leaders are totally high right now.

>>18098423
"YouaretheBOSS!"
Get to the sunflower asap.

>>18098457

You quickly head back to the sunflower.

>>18098501

Forgot the pic.

The spiders are now drug lords.

I wonder what other species the substance will work on.

Nectar must flow.

>>18098501
Try to find where the spider came from.

>>18098508
The spider said it would return the following day didnt she?
This is bad, badbad bad

Theyaregonnatearustopiecesifwewaitthatlong!

I'm OK with heading back to the sunflower but what do we do when we get there?

We could try to track the spider, or wait there until noon "tomorrow" - we may not even be sure we overheard that part.

Go to sunflower and see if we can pick up a scent.

wait wait wait, so. the wasps ocasionally take the bees food.
and we are in possesion of some kind of drug.
let's slip this drug in the wasps food and cripple their army!!
we can do this, we just have to convince the bees to trust us and cooporate.

Sorry, but this is Spider Quest after all. Bee intermission has ended. 321 heads to the sunflower and tries to figure out how to find the spider.

You are Bibi again, and your aphid hunting is going reasonably well.

>>18098591
Even though it's completely metagaming...go to the sunflower? Just say that your spider sense is tingling...

>>18098591
That was a very nice little intermission. Thank you OP.

>>18098591
I was going to say continue the hunt, but >>18098615 and his comment of spider senses made me giggle.

>>18098615

I am not sure if I should allow that....
So metagamey. You little cheater.

Let's see what the hunt turns up, is Andor satisfied?

>>18098634
Don't, then.

>>18098652

Andor says that he is quite full. He asks if we are going to carry the aphid you have tied up back to the nest.

>>18098686
Yeah, let's head back and see what our family is up to.

Wasn't planning on a restock run, our aphid is full yes?

Let's bring it back anyway. Toss it at Dorpou if nothing else as a random gift.

>>18098736

er .. aphid pen is full, yes?

Right we should get to work on extending that aphid pen once we're back.

Lift off!

You fly back to your base on the back of Andor. He is also carrying the aphid.

>>18098760
>>18098749


You can also kill the aphid and store it's corpse.

>>18098768
Take a look behind you to make sure the giant isn't lurking about.

>>18098749
We can always expand the pen if needed.

You return to your nest.
It seems that Dorpou and Ranou are arguing with the Dragon fly.
Bubbles is hiding behind your nest.

Ask what all the discussion is about?

While the dragonfly "works for us" I for one don't entirely trust him.

Still let's see what's going on first before we hammer him down.

>>18098843
Confront the dragonfly.

"By the right of the spider tribe, you are now ours!"

You confront the Dragonfly.

"You! You imprisoned me and drugged me! Tell these buffoons to release their scraps of web from me, so I can fly free! I agreed to serve you, but how can I fulfill my oath, if I can't fly?"

>>18098947
"But how do we know if you won't just fly away?"

That sounds reasonable enough. Hear what Dorpou and Ranou have to say before we do anything, feel them out.

>>18098947
"I will if you accept me as your rider."

How about this?

"You owe us and we shall have need of your services in time but not today. Stay safe and be prepared for our call. Farewell and remember - hunt who you will save for our clan and especially Bubbles, steer clear of her."

You tell him that he can fly free, as long as he will return. To ensure that, you will be riding him.

"Are you sure that is a good idea?" asks Dorpou.
"How can you know that this beast won't devour you the moment we let it go. I don't trust anything that big."

"You doubt my honesty, small one? You are wise to do so. A being of your size would be ill advised to trust me. Don't worry though, I have sworn my oath, and to break it, would even further ashame me to my ancestors."

>>18099046
Release him.

We will take him on a test drive around the yard.

>>18099046
Climb on his back and give him a big hug. "Welcome to the family! :3"

>>18099046


"What is your name great flying one? If I am to show you proper respect I must call you by name, to do without would demean us both to our own respective codes."

"Truly this world is harsh yet biggest is not bestest and you've had but a taste of what we can do. Remember that well and above all that we would have you as a friendly ally not a thrall."

>>18099046

God I like the style of that Klingon Dragonfly. BEFRIEND THE FUCK OUT OF HIM.

Also call him Kahless and we need to make him a Bat'leth in the future.

Fancy talk aside I'm also in favor of a test drive, this should be fun. I'm sure he's a bit more zippy and agile to Andor's solidity.

You ask him his name.
"Name? I do not have one. There is no one to name our newborn. We grow and strive alone, only the memories of our ancestors are passed down in the perfection of our body."

You take off.

"I shall show you what real flying is, you have seen nothing when you have flown on the back of the red fat one!"

Meanwhile Dorpou and Ranou start expanding the aphid pen.

>>18099145
"I wish to give you a name."

Zippy Kahless?

If he lets us name him.

We need to name him Nidhogg.

>>18099145
Name him Apache.

>>18099202
Wait, scratch Apache. I vote Nidhogg as well.

Or Thor.

>>18099145
"While your body shows the strength of your ancestors, it will one day decay. But a name will carry you through the ages now that you are with a group. Let us find a name that suits your strength and swiftness... how does Kahless sounds?

>>18099107
just for you :3

>>18099145

Bumb limit and clock being 3 am are good signs of the fact that this session has reached it's end.

Thanks to all who participated, and especially to the anon who archived this.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18093549/

Once again, I will be taking feedback before hitting the bunk.
As of the next session, I am afraid that Spider Quest will be going for hiatus, as my final exams are getting very close, and I really need to focus on them.
As much as I like you guys, I can't afford to throw away my changes of future because of this quest.
You can expect me back within a month or so.

Thank you google.

Voting for Nidhogg as well.

>>18099238
Later Spiderbro. Good luck on your finals.

>>18099238

Oh, and you name the dragonfly "Kahless Nidhogg".

>>18099257

Done then!

No problem with the hiatus here. Wow OP this was a hell-of-a episode!

Will keep an eye out for next edition - same time / same day, month from now?

>>18099257
See you later! I really enjoy this game.

>>18099229

Oh you're so sweet Anon. Take a spiderhug :3c

And the hiatus is no Problem OP. Of course I will miss my weekly dose of cute jumping Spiders and friends, but I will fill the time with praying for your success in your exams. Praying to the spider gods of course.

Thank you very much for your effort again.
