Spider Quest time!Sup/tg/ contains the earlier threads under the spider quest tag.1d4chan page on this quest:http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Spider_QuestYou are a little female jumping spider named Bibi currently living inside a hole in a tree, with your mate Dorpou, your eight young siblings, your newborn brood of spiderlings and your pet centipede Isaac.In addition to your family, the hole also is a home for old spider named Ranou, who agreed to let you stay there, a honorable warrior ladybug named Andor and a light headed parasitic wasp you befriended and named Chyrsi "Bubbles" McTitty. You also managed to convince the massive ancestor worshiping dragonfly you captured to work for you, who you then named Kahless Nidhogg.In the last session, you continued your investigation of the bee hive, which had faced some sort of a disaster. After making contact with a small band of survivors, it became apparent that the nectar you had supplied to the bees had caused this catastrophe. You decided to aid the small band of rebels who were fighting against the overseers and their loyalist guards. The group was led by a bee named 313, and they were trying to locate your old contact to the hive, 321, as she knew more about the situation than the rest.After successfully saving her in a daring raid of the refinery chambers, you made a plan in which you hoped to end this madness before it got too late. You used the honey distribution tubes to infiltrate the royal chambers and with the aid of a guard that had turned to your side, you managed to get in. You confronted the overseer B12, the mastermind behind this whole scheme, just when the rebels troops and the loyalist guards began to fight. The overseer fled, and you pursued her, until you reached the main entrance to the hive. There were others as well looking for the overseer...
>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 100% if your reserves.You can upgrade your nest with silk.Your nest currently has the following improvements:>Small rudimentary web nest:>Storage chamber-35 units of food, 0 chitin plates, 3 metal shards, 1 chitin armor, 2 unfinished chitin armors, 15 sheets of both green and yellow membranes.>8 slingshots.>Trap webs near the base of the tree.>Expanded Aphid pen.-5 aphids. Can hold up to 10 aphids.>Warning web at the entrance to the tree hole and warning lines.>Drop down net attached to the ceiling at the entrance.>Reinforced sticky webs at the entrance.There is also a bird's nest which contains all kinds of stuff.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.This is where we left.You and 321 are currently hiding, while the overseer B12 squirms in terror in front of the wasps.
Watch to see what happens
> ..the nectar you had supplied to the bees had caused this catastrophe. OBJECTION!The cause of all this is currently running away from us smack into some plot justice or something.Not that this is going to make our job any easier ...
>>19160603"Really, tell me! How on earth did you manage to ruin your home like this? We expected resistance. We expected guards. What we got were few scattered and broken wretches that were easily disposed. We could take over this whole hive if we wished, but it looks like that there is nothing to take over.It seems that your brilliant plan backfired on you, or was destroying the whole hierarchy of your hive also part of it?"..what plan..!?" "You know what I am talking about overseer. I do not recall that our emissary, who mysteriously "disappeared" agreed on our deal that you would supply us with some sort of poisoned honey. What ever you put in our shipment brought insanity to far too many of my sisters. You will tel me what it was, and how to cure it, and I will make your end painless.""...I..I don't know!""Yes you do. You wouldn't be stupid enough to risk poisoning your own people without the knowledge how to cure it's effects. Now tell me or you will suffer.""..but ..but ..th..the.. spid-""Mistress! We have rounded up and eliminated all the remaining guards outside!" yells a wasp from the door.The overseer uses this distraction to bolt the fuck away from the wasps."Capture the coward at once!" Yells the wasp commander and two of her sisters start to pursue the overseer.Wat do?
>>19160713Continue to watch, wasps are nails after all.Abandon hive and come back later?Or try and find a solution?
Yah, I'm thinking ...You know we could just set things back up the way they were at start, bees supply the wasps, things go back to normal.The only group of organized wasps are now here. We could tell them that there is no cure but time.Or we could jump them, I'm not impressed by 3 wasps but there's more outside.In any event let's see if we can corner the Overseer, maybe end the civil war. The bees need a united front now most of all.Otherwise retreat back to the Queen's area and see what condition they're in.
>>19160751That's what I was afraid of.We can't abandon the hive, eventually the bees will just point and yell "SPIDER DID IT!" and then we'll have to deal directly with the wasps.What do we do then? Ally with the ants?Let's just roll along with it here and now.
And I'm still trying to figure out where that damn kite fits into all of this. Aside from being a bubbly distraction and keeping engineering department occupied ... hm.What do we know of the social wasps? How vain are they?
I assume that you continue to monitor the wasps."Sweep the area! I want every bee in this cursed hive in front of me. They will pay with their blood for this treachery. Half of our hive is in ruins because of the honey they gave us.Shelq! Come here!"You see the wasp who caused the distraction that allowed the overseer to fly away walk fearfully towards the wasp commander. Her antennae seem to be torn."You failed me again! You distracted me and thus allowed the bee to escape! First you return from the scene of battle alive, in where your sisters fell defending our loot, and now this! I need to punish you again!""No mistress no! I didn't meant to!"The big wasp starts beating up the smaller one.Continue to watch?
>>19160862Ahh, so there's that wasp.Intervene and potentially gain an ally? We could likely take the wasp commander here and now. A valuable hostage perhaps for the bees?
>>19160884You don't know the exact amount of wasps that are nearby. Revealing yourself might be risky.
We can't do a frontal assault.Whisper to 313: "we need to organize a defense. I don't know if it's a good idea to for your people to confront the wasps now but you must get organized, like, now. Plus the overseer will be up to some mischief I'm sure. Get back there and make it happen and make sure it's you in charge not the overseer!"Let's keep an eye on things here. Maybe that wasp boss will do something stupid like walk under us.
>>19160899I suppose that is true.Do we have any means of getting in contact with everyone's favourite dragonfly?How many bee guards do we think were outside? And how many wasps would be needed to subdue that many given the circumstances?
Attack the head wasp, maybe we can make an ally out of the wasp being punished
>>19160946I think we sent him back for help. We'll have to sit tight if that's what we're waiting for.We don't really have an army of our own at the moment.We need to get our hands on either the punching bag or the the wasp boss. Either way the solution is colourfull bows.Well, maybe not but it's a start of a plan.
>start of a plan ..Plan. Plan?Wait. THAT'S IT!The wasps need a cure. We have a cure, there's these bow things they need to wear ... we even have a demo model to show off ...
The wasps begin to sweep the area.You tell 321 to get quickly back to her people in order to warn them of the coming threat."Commander Xias! We found another one of these broken bees!""Kill it! Just like we did back at the nest. These wretches will only be useful as food for our younger sisters!"
Not suggesting this at the moment but throwing it out there for our consideration guys.Jump Xias. We need to engage in some face to face diplomacy while we have the chance. We're gonna give the wasps the cure they seek in the form of anti poison ward bows. We can show them the it works by having Bubbles demo it by sipping some, now harmless, bee nectar. "See? Works like a charm. Ahem."Plus we may be able to rig a deal to get our hands on the punching bag.Well?
>>19161137This will also buy some time for the bees to get their shit together, just saying.
>>19161137I agree with this
But what will you do now?Currently, there are at least 9 wasps within your sights, and when you count the two who went after the overseer, there are 11 wasps here.Will you try to monitor them further or will you do something else?
I guess we could wait a moment longer, maybe some of the wasps will leave the scene and we can attack Xias
In absence of any other suggestions I say we go for it! We've got a change to:a) End a nasty meaningless war.b) Save the punching bag.c) Save our own as .. er .. thorax since the subject of the "poison" nectar is going to come up sometime, we're in the line of fire now like it or not.
>>19161206This I suppose?
>You are a little female jumping spider named Bibi currently living inside a hole in a tree, with your mate Dorpou, your eight young siblings, your newborn brood of spiderlings and your pet centipede Isaac.>mfw this is still going and I haven't seen it since february.Time to catch up!
Well, we can take on some risk now or dither along and face some pissed off vengeful wasps later.Do we really want to leave our fate to, who? The bees? Let's seize events by the throat now!
While you ponder what to do, the two wasps sent to retrieve the overseer return.She is beaten up and her wings are torn."I am a busy wasp you know. I don't have time for this kind of games", says Xias as she lifts the overseer to air."You will tel me, how to cure my sisters, or I will sting you to death myself. What ever you attempted to do with that tainted honey only served to ruin this nice and fair deal we had going on here. It seems now that we need to return to blundering your children again, instead of simply the honey tributes. You brought this to yourself. Now tell me the cure!""..there..there is no cure...zzz""What! There must be one! You lie!""I don't know it...""Then who does you useless wretch!""...the spider does...""....What in the world are you talking about? What spider?""..She is here...zzz...somewhere....they were right after me.....""How hard did you beat this pathetic runt! She is useless if her mind is broken!""...they were...right behind...me..." The overseer begins to fade as the wasp strangles her.Wat do?
I'm sticking with the jump her and negotiate a bow based solution on a silver platter plan.
>>19161420Well that's our cue.DRAMATIC ENTRY TIME
>>19161457Could you elaborate this bow based plan?Do you intend to trick the wasps?That would of course assume that the wasps were foolish enough to fall for it though.
We could always just tell then that it will wear off after a while.Possibly point out that the ants might find knowledge about the current crippling of the wasps interesting and that we gave runners ready to inform them if we do not return.
So the consensus is to reveal yourself am I correct?
>>19161528Yes but I'm more for extorting them rather than tricking them.
Wanted to handle this more thru dialog but this was my thinking.The cure for the poison is the specialty bows we have. We can demo this with Bubbles, showing that it works when she sips some harmless bee honey. "See? It works, etc."The reason for the trashed hive is "I am here to settle a score with the bees. But, hey, you're in luck I happen to like wasps, I even have one of my own. Well, she's not exactly your kind, serving me as she does is a fate worse than death as you would see it." *eye the punching bag**hint*hint* "But the point is I wanted to make sure she was safe from all this so I gave her some protection. Now, I didn't intend for you to get mixed up in this. But that's what you get for dealing with this moron."Etc...
rolled 7 = 7Why not some Jiu-Jiutsu Spider style, we can convert bee 213 to some sort of nunchaku and atack the wasp with her!(It's fucking brilliant, I know.)
>>19161574Threatening the reveal to the ants of their current weakness gives us a potential out of this situation.Making bows for all the wasps would use up our supplies of kite and the nectar may wear off before we can get them all bows, which would prove we lied to get them to wear stupid bows
( Of such are /tg quests made. )
>>19161603Also *very* good thinking with the ants. A stick and a carrot works wonders.I think we can stop everything else and pump out bows enough to string them along.Screw the bees, they're incompetent. While a big assed glorious battle has it's appeal I say we steer our own fate.
Plus, we're a dictator, not a chemist. Hell, we don't know how any of this stuff works so we're not exactly lying, right?OK, yeah we running on total BS here but we have to do something. And now we have a credible threat as well ( Ants ) to get the wasps appreciation of fashion based solutions pumping.
"You idiots messed her up! She won't be useful at all if she keeps blabbering about spiders! What kind of spider would be inside a bee hive anyways!""My kind!" You boldly yell as you jump out of your hiding place.The commander is quick to recover from the surprise."Well you certainly know how to time a dramatic entrance. Who might you be and how long have you been spying on us?"
Um, this might be a bad time to run this quest. The sup/tg/ archive currently isn't working.
>>19161736What?Do you mean that the archival process isn't working?Because otherwise, the site is working normally for me.
>>19161736It will be saved one way or another. "LL" has been good with the occasional request to have something fixed, like getting a tar ball of a saved thread up into the archive. I'm not sure if he's directly running things now but current management should be receptive to an unusual request for something like this, at least for a reasonably established running quest.If not it can be saved else where and the wiki updated to point to it. Nothing will be lost.
>>19161715Why do I imagine Bibi suddenly sounding like Errol Flynn and going. "UNHAND HER BASE KNAVE!" And a flashy sword fight commencing.....Maybe it's just me.
>>19161748Scratch that.I just checked some of the more recently archived threads and they are indeed broken.Well, there is always archive fools.
Right. It can't archive new threads. They show up on the list, but the contents aren't recorded.There was a brief time where they fixed that problem, but now it's gone again.
>>19161715Just a humble spider and obtainer of exotic goods, for example the nectar that causes this situation.Who would have thought things would get this out of control.Now, we may be willing to negotiate a cure but first I should warn you that we have runners ready to inform the ants about the current weakness of your nest if we do not return. Perhaps you saw the dragonfly as you approached, he was carrying my orders back to my associates. Preventing me leaving here would spell your own doom.Now, let's deal.
( And your friendly local obsessive archiver is here. I'll give it a go later but I'd like have a bit more before I try to write up the description, unless someone else does it before me. But I will do it. Now, back to the quest ... )
>>19161775"Though words from one spider clad in stolen skin, surrounded by over 10 wasps. Do you have any idea of what kind of game you are playing spider?You are telling me, that this situation has been caused by you? Do you truly admit that your meddling is what ruined our beneficial business partnership with the bees, that you were the one who caused the madness of my sisters.And now, you are trying to extort us?Just who do you think you are?"
rolled 4 = 4>>19161878Some one, it's time to make an Epic speech!
>>19161878'A distraction' *Cue bees swarming in, Kahless returns with backup, etc.*Wishful thinking but it might happen.
"Extort? No save you. I know you're not impressed with altruism. You've got to admit the ants are a problem, I certainly do and I could tell you some stories. But time is short and you need a cure.""Agree and you will be saved. I require nothing in return save a hostage as a token of your good will."*now eye the punching bag and cross fingers!*
>>19161878What my clients choose to do with the items I obtain for them is not my concern.I was not aware of the bee's plans for the nectar.And with regards to extorting you, that is not my intention, I am merely informing you of the benefits of not hindering my departure.Whenever I walk into a situation, I aim to have a means of leaving it. The potential destruction of your nest seems like a good one given the situation, no?Now, I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement between us.You desire a cure. I desire to leave this hive in one piece.And how about this for a sweetener, if I give you the cure and you allow me to leave, I will not give it to the bees, and, in return, you do not kill any more of them over this debacle.(Nectar will wear off after a while so the bees should be ok, anybody got any other suggestions?)
>>19161878God.
( here's to misdirection and appealing to the commander's sadism. )
>>19161978this
Quick thought, instead of giving them all colorful bows, we could create a harmless nectar based 'cure' that does nothing harmful and acts as a placebo.Tell them it takes time to work, etc etc.
>>19161978Thirding this"Bibi, sometime dictator and befreinder of many insects, at your service" might work too.
I'll wait for you to come into a consensus.
>>19161878So we just blew our cover and deniablity in one action to a superior froce that will just as soon kill us as talk to us. What could go wrong?By the way, start scanning for an exit from this mess. Wasps are fliers, so stick to small, narrow areas where they loose that advantage. If we are lucky we can get them stuck in the honey tubes.
>>19162015go for god... do it
>>19161978>>19161976>>19161970Combine these three?
>>19162042Seconding this
>>19162042Sounds good to me.
>>19162042this
>>19162042Let's do dis
rolled 7 = 7>>19162042http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM&ob=av3e
"You have honeyed words spider.You can weave your lies as well as you weave your silk. But you shouldn't try to lie to us about our most hated enemies. We know them better than anyone else.The ants do not listen to others. We have fought them for generations, and we know this much. Your runners won't return from their trip to the ants. The ants will kill them like they do with all the outsiders.You are entering a game that is way over your head. Your meddling might have tipped the scales in the favor of the ants. This will be disastrous for all of the creatures living here.Now, you listen to me. You will give the cure to us, you will lead us where it is located and then, you will go back to the hole you crawled from. We have enough problems without a spider with a god complex ruining our schemes. You have already weakened the bees and us, and the ants still reign as strong as ever. Our deal with the bees was more than fair, we didn't kill them, and they provided us with honey. Now, it's ruined. And this is your fault. You will come take us to the cure, now. No conditions. You will give it to us, and then you will leave. This is our offer, decline, and we will rip your apart one leg at a time. You might be able to manipulate the bees, but you are a fool to underestimate our intelligence."The wasps are unconvinced. (Really, they are much smarter than the bees. And they do know about ants a hell of lot more than you do. Though they still believe that you have a cure, so all is not lost.)
I kinda doubt it will work, but maybe we can use the stuff from the mushrooms in our tree, the stuff that killed the Aphid.
>>19162206I suppose we'll have to cut our losses then.If they are as intelligent as they seem to be, they are unlikely to fall for the colourful bows.Mix up a placebo and tell them it will help speed up the recovery time?As for leading them to it, we want to avoid leading them to our hideout if we can.Any ideas?Having beaten up wasp assigned to keep an eye on us and thus giving us an opportunity to talk with her would be good as well.
>>19162206Welp, they're way too smart to trick, especially it's frilly bows. I say we just shrug and tell them it just wears off after a bit.
There is still the problem of leading them there. And they will want someone to test it to make sure it is safe. So we will probably just end up exploding a bee that is under the influence if we do that.We would have better luck luring them into a trap. Get Kahless and go find the giant lumbering monsters and see if we can't slip away in the confusion. Alternately, we lead them back to the shed and see if we can't McGyver something together. It has been awhile, but there has to be something we could use in there. The important thing is we don't want them coming back to our base.
>>19162312And then they kill us here and now for trying to scam them.
"So, what will it be spider?We are on a tight schedule here, and you are currently just wasting our time. We need to punish these insolent bees as well, assuming that they really did come up with this idiotic scheme by themselves."
She's not that smart, she's still standing in front of us right?
>>19162319the giant lumbering monsters may not take kindly to the wasps,maybe if we can alert them to the wasps presence, we could give the wasps more than they can handle and may see an end to them. We should be able to mop up any remaining wasps.
>>19162355Yes.Yes she is.
Screw it, let's take her out.The bees are organizing up for a final confrontation anyway. Let's get this holocaust started!
If we are going to fight, we require COMBAT MUSIC!
( Or at least nab a hostage, drag her around a corner and beat some sense into her. )WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS NAB NAB NAB!
>>19162352You already have the one responsible for the scheme, the overseers came up with it, primarily the one laying at your feet.
>>19162352>YOU CAME INTO THE WRONG HIVE MOTHERFUCKER!
>>19162277>>19162319>>19162328So placebo as we lead them away? At this point we are stalling for time more than anything. I still think it is dubious whether we are going to get to live after this mess is done.Anyway, tell them we will need to collect the ingredients first. Make the path as round about a possible. Leaf from this tree, water from this pond, the eyes of a water bug, ect ect. Stall like the wind. Pray that the remaining bees are getting their act together while we are keeping the remaining coherent wasps busy.Alternately, don't most insects breathe through their skin? Couldn't we suffocate them somehow if we created some sort of degreaser (remove waxy coating of armor) and water mix? We could say then need to absorb the concoction through their skin for maximum effect.
>>19162355With two friends right next to her and more off camera, yes. Attacking is probably a bad idea unless we are sure backup is immediately inbound. Speaking of which, can we get an overshot of the area again to see where everyone is / if we can jump to an exit quickly?
INITIATE A TACTICAL WITHDRAWAL
>>19162448But if we grab her we can use her as leverage. We're a jumping spider we should be pretty good at that.We're something of a combat monster ourselves. And, hell, we can always just run .. "Hi Bee! I'm back! Stalled as long as I could let's get this party on! Ready?"
>>19162430Seems like a good plan. Rushing them may work, or will result in spider giblets.We need a way to save the bees, or at least, the ones who we were helping.
Fuck going with the wasps.We are in a confined space the wasps can't fly as freely as they normally can, if we go out, we will lose even that minor advantage over them.I say we try to buy our time with something, but we should definitely NOT go outside with them.
>>19162472no no, we are merely advancing in a different direction.
>>19162487Pretty sure the wasps won't give any damns about taking their leader hostage. She also has a stinger and may be stronger than us.However if we still have our spear we could throw it at her and then run the other direction back into the honey tubes.
>>19162560Nab her, wrap her, "Well here's how it is," Throw her stinger first at the other wasps.Proceed / retreat from there.
>>19162448Here you go.Waiting for consensus.
>>19162602Our allies have arrived. Well this is going to get messy.
>>19162602>>19162639Well, I was going to advocate a rear facing advance, but back up changes that a bit. Problem is there are still 10 wasps there. All the reinforcements I see might be enough to take out 1. If we are lucky.
So, what will you do?The haven't been yet spotted by the wasps.One wasp is able to fight multiple against multiple bees however. And the bees can only sting for one time.
>>19162602Oh, look at that, bees. And all the wasps are looking at us.Throw spear at leader, jump behind wasps, keep their attention until the bees can move. Hopefully Kahless et al show up soon, and hopefully the bees join in.>Battle Start!
I think we can take on three.The bees can do 1 right?And one of them is beaten down already.So .. there's 5 left ...
>>19162716Damn. I wish we hadn't revealed ourselves. We could have set up traps throughout the hive ala Predator to even the odds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy1ZJQeUcsROW ROW, FIGHT THE WASPS!
>>19162731Dramatic action will out.
So, are you going to fight or not?I have seen one suggestion for throwing your spear towards the wasps. You do realize however that it's your only longer than your fangs range weapon right now.
>>19162766Hold onto spear, continue to distract until the bees get here.
We gave it our best shot to tie it all up nice and neat and it all went pear shaped.Voting we lay into her.
Well, we had to end up using the pointy end sometime.Bibi, if you make it out of this, remember.Remember to clean your spinneretes.
"What's the matter spider? Why so silent suddenly? Are you going to submit to our demands or will you resist?"
>>19162926Now is the time!The wasps are growing impatient, and they will attack soon even if you don't do anything.Roll d20 for what ever you try to do! The higher the roll, the better the result!
Let out a battle cry while attacking Xias with the spear.
rolled 2 = 2>>19162954We will get you the cure, but it will take some time to gather the required ingredients.*Start stringing off a list of things we will need*(Stalling, stalling, stalling)

Hit her like the fist of the north star
rolled 14 = 14>>19162954VON DAMNAT!
Hmmm.It seems that my attempt to use a different rolling system doesn't suit this quest style very well.I should have sticked in using the earlier method, though I can't just retcon these rolls you guys made, now can I?Wat do, wat do?
rolled 15 = 15>>19162954VON DAMNAT!
>>19163057>>19163071dang internet connection, ignore my second roll.
Sing no sad tales - we died with out armour on!
Well, this is kinda of a mess.I should have thought out about this a little further.I hope you don't mind this, but I'll go with the first roll made.Regarding future rolling, it will be done in the earlier method. This type obviously doesn't suit this quest.Sorry guys for that, I was just trying to experiment a little.>>19162994"NO! No more talking! It's time to see if you can fight as well as you can spin your lies!"Xias and the other wasps prepare to attack you. Your superior spider reflexes allow you to react to this however. You can do one thing before they attack, dodge, pounce or something else. What will you do?(Anyone else having posting problems?)
>>19163174my suggestion is that we dodge
>>19163174Web goes into eyes.Assuming we can fire it.
Diplomacy didn't work, attacking didn't work, ..Yeah, let's dodge.
Don't we have bolas?
>>19163174Shoot web into her eyes! Then spear goes into wasp.Assuming we can of course.
Well there's always the "Eight-legged Exploding Carapace Technique"Maybe Xias is a lesbian?
>>19163235One action. Either the web or the spear.>>19163234You didn't bring any with you.
This would be a good time for the sane bees to be inspired to overthrow their wasp oppressors.
>>19163235This if it can work, but with battle cry, hopefully the bees decided to take that as their cue to join in.
So, web throwing, spear action or dodge? What will it be?
>>19163317Web
We need to higher ground for spear superiority.
>>19163317my suggestion is still dodge, the reason why is because we're surrounded
"Sisters! Let's tea-MPFHHH!"Before Xias manages to order her troops to attack you, you quickly spray her with web.She stumbles backwards and the other wasps are momentarily confused as they have never seen their leader in this state.You have now enough time for one action, though the wasps recover very quickly, and are currently surrounding you.Choose your action wisely.
>>19163439Bibi-jizzing-into-wasp-faces.jpgAnyway, shank one of the guards, and signal the backup to come.
Surrounding us? Clearly these wasps doesn't know about JUMPING spiders. As long as we can jump, no one can surround us!Jump away into a better attack position. Try to have all wasps at your front, where you could punish any advance on their behalf with a quick spear thrust.
Jump to higher ground away from the wasps
Also yell to the punchingbag-wasp that we surely saved his life AGAIN. Either he would be very welcome to attack his former bullies to repay his debt and earn our friendship or he should abscond out of here, before he gets in our way.
>>19163513then we better get to jumping otherwise the wasps are gonna zerg-rush us
>>19163439Would it be possible to jump/stab Xias in the face propelling the two of us into the air only for us to remove the spear and use her as a launch pad to reach higher ground on one of the walls in order to later dive bomb another wasp.
>>19163598This cannot go badly at all. Do it.Though if only one action, stab the leader! Strike down the leader!
You quickly jump away as the wasps realize what happened."mmkillphhtheffspimmdrff!!!" yells Xias and the other wasps start to approach you.
Well we can play keep away all day but we kinda need a goal to be stalling for now.
>>19163729The calvary has arrived.The wasps are charging at you, but the bees have finally gathered and are also attacking.What do?
>>19163729No goal to stall over, just pick off a few by leaping circles around them. Once we have their undivided attention we can lead them out of the hive and into the waiting jaws of our good friend Kahless.
Well here's an idea - the guards are tied up outside, should we give that a shot?Keep an eye out for our ride home too.
>>19163756CHAAARRGE!!!! and by charge i mean jump, also give a battle cry to rally the bees
>>19163756"Ours are the spinnerets that will BIND the HEAVENS!" *jump full force and spear leader, then use momentum to leap outside all in one fluid movement*
Jump around and spray web at the Wasps
The bees clash with the wasps.The aerial combat is swift and brutal, one wasp is stronger than 5 bees, but they are heavily outnumbered.The stench of the bee pheromones fills the air, as the dead bees start to fall to the ground, driving the workers berserk.The wasps seem to have forgotten about you, as they are now preoccupied with the bees swarming around them. You help as well as you can, shooting webs at the wasps and tangling them up, causing them to fall to the floor, but the wasps are managing to hold on their own. The swarms of the workers have forced them to back off a little, but only one wasp has died, while there are already over 10 dead bees lying on the ground.
I still have pity for the poor wasp punchingback. Maybe we can somehow make sure that he doesn't get killed. :-(
Suddenly, amidst the chaos, Xias attacks you."YOU WILL PAY FOR DEGRADING ME SPIDER!"Roll 1d10 for avoiding the attack.Number to beat 7.Highest of the first 3 is chosen.
rolled 7 = 7>>19163995Let's do this.
rolled 7 = 7Smack her in the face. Hard.Also do we get armor saves?
>>19163995Spidey-Sense TINGLING!
>>19164028Of course you do.That's why you are wearing the armor in the first place.
rolled 6 = 6>>19164034Tingle this!
rolled 7 = 7>>19163995
rolled 3 = 3>>19163995Hmm.
rolled 9 = 9>>19163995OH GOD OH SHIT OH NO-I hope her stinger can't break our armor...FUCK I'M THRILLED
>>19164026>>19164028>>19164048So close!You need to get something that is over 7.Fear not, this was close enough that you won't be harmed, that much.
rolled 98 = 98>>19163995By the power of Greyscull!
Wait, did we send Kahless to get backup?
Xias grabs you by your armor and lifts you to the air."YOUR TRICKS WON'T HELP YOU ANYMORE!Roll 1d6 for struggling.Number to beat 5.First of 3, yadayadada. You know how this goes.The bees are starting to lose. For every wasp they manage to kill, they lose 4-6 bees.There are 6 wasps fighting, and only few dozens of bees left.>>19164130 Yes you did.
rolled 3 = 3>>19164234Impale her with our spear!
rolled 2 = 2>>19164234>Number to beat 5.Really?
rolled 5 = 5>>19164234shiv her in the thorax!
rolled 6 = 6>>19164254>>19164258No, noooo!We are going to be so fucking dead!
rolled 5 = 5>>19164234FUS ROH DAH!
Sorry guys, I told you to roll a wrong dice.I meant to say 1d10 but, somehow I typed in 1d6. Must be this sleepiness that's starting to fuck with my brains.Because of this, nothing too bad will happen, as I fucked up. She lifts you to the highest point of the hive, and then drops you."Let's see how well your armor can handle this kind of damage!"Roll 1d10 for grabbing hold of something.Number to beat: 5.
rolled 2 = 2>>19164435Shoot webs everywhere
rolled 10 = 10>>19164435
rolled 2 = 2>>19164435We must live!
>>19164463Right. I will just stop rolling now.
rolled 7 = 7>>19164473>>19164463Just, stop!>>19164465>Savior.Now I believe in fairies.
>>19164465You land directly on a wasp flying under you.Massive feat of badassery inspires the nearby bees to fight even harder.The wasp starts to panic as it falls downwards, unable to support your weight on her back.Wat do?
>>19164662
rolled 2 = 2>>19164662When close enought to the ground, impale her head with your spear and jump off! Don't forget to retrieve spear.
>>19164662Check where Xias is.If she charges us, we can use that wasp as a meat shield.
>>19164662Time to singlehandedly turn the tide of battle thru extreme badassery.Firstly throw your spear into the next best wasp. Then you grab your rides antenae and steer it right into another wasp! RAMMING SPEED! Shortly before the rash you jump away to safety!
What will you do then?I will wait for consensus.
>>19164723if not>>19164695
Rally the bees! Our numbers work best in clumps, if we fight as a tight group our power is increased.
>>19164723this
You plunge towards the floor as the wasp is unable to regain the control her wings.Moments before hitting the ground, you pierce her head with your spear, killing her instantly.The remaining dozen bees who still are able to put up a fight gather around you, as the 5 remaining wasps approach you.What will you do?
>>19164929Swing around and kill them with your spearCue maniacal laughter
>>19164982Roll 1d10 for killing one wasp with your spear.Number to beat. 6.
rolled 3 = 3>>19164996
>>19165008Awwww, maaaan...
rolled 7 = 7>>19164996
rolled 1 = 1>>19164996Let's do this!
>>19165061>>19165033>>19165008first 3 rolls, right?
>>19165033You impale one of the wasps as it attempts to ram you.Having witnessed the killing power of your spear twice now, she orders her remaining troops to retreat."Fall back! Get to the entrance and regroup!"The wasps begin to retreat.
>>191651754 wasps remaining, eh?Impale one from behind?
>>19165194Roll 1d10 for it.Number to beat, 7.
rolled 7 = 7Rolling for a kill.Tactical insertion, buttfaces.

rolled 2 = 2Lets do this
Woo
We must not let any live to tell the tale
>>19165257Thank our many various dieties!
>>19165257You manage to impale one of the fleeing wasps.The rest are almost at the entrance."Regroup outside this wretched hive!" Xias jells.
Woohoo! That is one more down. I hope that when they try to escape Kahless has returned with our back up.
Throw our spear at them. Leonidas style.
We must kill the rest!
>>19165359Roll for it.Number to beat 8.
Oh shit, /tg/ is bloodthirsty....Throw the spear.

>>19165423Oh sweet baby jesus spider...
>> 19165423 Alright! now if we get the oppertunity we must pounce on the last one.
>>19165423
"FLEE! FLY BACK TO THE NEST!"You successfully throw the spear at one of the wasps, which is impaled helplessly.The other wasp and Xias flee in terror and take off to the sky.(it's over 4 am here, I need to stop soon.)
>>19165572Did the wasp we helped before make it? I really hope so.
>>19165572Retrieve your spear and see if Kahless is there
rolled 40 = 40>>19165572Run over and pick up the spear while shouting,"Kahless! Devour the fleeing wasps!"Attempt to leap onto him and ensure a distinct lack of survivors.
>>19165628Ok, this
rolled 10 = 10>>19165628Rolling in support of no survivor plan
>>19165589You aren't sure if she even fought.She was covering near the entrance when the battle started.Unfortunately, Kahhless isn't here yet. The two wasps manage to flee.You gaze at the fleeing wasps, and enjoy the thrilling sensation of watching your enemies run in terror from you.This was a fine day.And with that, I must unfortunately stop.I am just too damn, tired to continue, and I felt that this would be a good place to end this session.Thanks to all who participated and as always, any kind of input is appreciated.
>>19165651I have no fitting reaction image for this
>>19165656>InputIt's been fun. It's always fun.No complaints here.
>>19165656Thank you for another fun session~!
Fuck yeah!OP, you know we love you, right?
>>19165651Damn, that's one nice roll.Unfortunately, I can't really fulfill it, because I am too damn tired.Again, thanks to all who participated. Sorry if I was rather slow today. I had some posting issues at one point.Now I really need to get some sleep.Night gents!
>>19165684I love you guys too. Now, bed, sleep, too tired, I can already see the sun.
Dedicated archiver here.It's been placed into suptg but I've not otherwise able to tell if it's been saved properly.It's in the foolz archive, plus I will carefully make a local save, etc.Wiki will be updated to point to the final resting place of this session, wherever it ends up.Thank you again OP!
