>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
-30 units of food, 2 chitin plates, 3 metal shards, 1 chitin armor.
>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.

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.


You are currently near the nectar plants. What shall you do?

>Bubbles seems to be lecturing one of your siblings about something ...

This should be good. Listen in and see what she's up to.

>You and Dorpou require 4 units of food combined.

We need 4 in general or do we need to hunt down 4 food units right now?

>>18709104
Try and get some nectar, I guess.

>>18709121

In general.
To be completely honest, I haven't really tracked your food progress. Your have been stocking up, for a while now, so just assume that as long as you have an ample amount of food in storage, you don't need to care about eating. It happens automatically.

>>18709134

Understood. Now, let's see "Parenting and Guardianship" the Bubbles way. Just have a looksee / listen in, no need to charge in and take over.

After collecting some nectar for the bees, you go go to see what Bubbles is up to.
She is preoccupied with one of your siblings, who apparently has done something that Bubbles isn't very fond of.

"Now, like, listen to me you little brat! You can't just jump around and throw these strings at me when I am buzzing around the water pool! They could like mess up my wings and then I would fall to the water and get all wet and cold!
Are you even listening you, you ...

"I don't have to listen to you! You aren't my big sister! Jumping is fun and you are easy to hit!"

I'll have to eat something, brb.c

We could tell him Kahless is the only worthy practice target? That would make this a self fixing problem right off the bat ...

OK, this is kinda a vicious world we live in. While I like his can do attitude, and we should praise that, how about we point out that Bubbles is armed with a nasty stinger and has been know to wipe out hordes of children.

I dunno. The Kahless based solution is looking better.

I knew we should have dragged that wasp back here as a play toy instead.

>>18709203
>you, you... DOUBLE ARACHNID

>>18709203
I like this spiderling, I will call him Webby.
oh, and scold him a bit, because Bubbles Mc Titty it's our friend, and we will need him to explore. Why not build a practice target and train our spiderlings to use they webs like nets? In the battle vs the wasps this can be handy.

We don't want to discourage training. After we stop rolling around the floor laughing we should plan up a training program.

Maybe Kahless would be willing after all?

And I like the idea of "Big Sis." Let's back Bubbles on that one.

Alright, I'm back.

Although you find this whole situation amusing, you still scold the spiderling, henceforth knowns as Webby, about her bothering your friend.
You tell her that target practice is good, but she should have a proper target, and not annoy Bubbles.

"No fair! What can I do then? The others are boring or too young to play with! They just sit in the nest and do their own things like swing around or dance or carve stuff! I want to be outside and jump around and hunt and...!"

>>18709430
... I think than we have a heir.

Why not take him in our ventures in the out-side world? if it's killed, well, we have lot's of mini spiders, if he survives has the potential to be the most bad ass spider a part of bibi.

>>18709460
Alas we have to find some others jump spiders of our specie, because I want to have a true Spider Empire, not a Hill billy clan.

Where did Kahless get that moth? Could we talk him into bringing back another?

We could unleash Webby on the aphids? Maybe have Dorpou do a demo hunt.

>>18709460

You consider taking Webby with you when you next go out. You need to take the nectar to the bees anyways so why not take her with you?

Is there anything else you want to do before flying to the bees?

>>18709511

Get our armor on and ready our glass halberd.

Also we ride on Nidhogg.

No chances.

>>18709511
Perhaps make a security arnes for the little fellah, so we don't loose him in a bad wind.

Keep in mind they've not seen Nidhogg yet. I like the idea of giving them an "air show" of our power.

>>18709551

Webby isn't coming with us on this one.

Mostly because we are going to be delivering some...sensitive products.

>>18709557
Show our power? Hmm, can work. Perhaps we can tailor some spikes or anything to have him look more menacing?

>>18709571
...Or paint him in black and yellow. Like a huge wasp/bee.

You start preparing your delivery.
You put on your armor and take your weapons, and then roll the nectar bundle to Kahless.

"What do you seek spider?", he asks.

"We will fly to the sunflowers and deliver this bundle to the bees", you respond.

"Very well then."

"Big sis, can I come with you?" , Webby asks.


(Atention! I might do another bee interlude in this session, as I feel that it is the best way to properly convey the events your actions have on the hive. So make your plans for the two day preparation time for the next shipment and if someone objects to this ,they can voice it now.)

>>18709632

We armor Kahless the fuck up, and we attempt to scavenge around the tree and the giant metal..thing in search of more strange things.

We have a spare armour for the Spiderling? If yes, he/she comes with us. I don't object to the bee thing. Also, in the interlude, we can make an armour of leaves for the lady bug and Kahless,try if they can fly comfortable with the armour, and then paint them in yellow&black (perhaps the blood from the wasp for yellow colour and mud for black) for a Show the bees our power.

>>18709632

Ye olde approval.

With regard to Webby ... um, what do you guys think?

I, personally, wanna see the overseer get illicit practice netted.

( Yes this is a bad idea. Dew Eet. )

>>18709693
Veeery bad idea, bear in mind the fuckton of bees than can attack us. But have Webby like a last resort weapon appeal me...

It seemed that the majority favored taking Webby with you.

You take off and head towards the sunflowers

>>18709744

It seems that the bees are already waiting form you.

>>18709744
(What a sexy fortress we have, spiderbros).

>>18709778
So we behalf tsundere like or more likeable like? I vote for Tsundere :3.

>>18709792

We go in No-nonsense.

These are fucking bees and we MAY have gotten their top-dogs addicted to a semi-poisonous nectar.

No amount of cuteness will put this aside.

I count .. 4 bees.

We can take them. Let the delivery begin.

>>18709811
But the sting of a bee can hurt very bad, so behave with caution.

You land on the flower.

One of the bees, 321, approaches you.

"Well you certainly took your time. Is that all?
I was expecting somewhat more of that stuff. You better have more of it in the next shipment."

The other bees are buzzing around you, but they don't seem to be warriors.

Kahless and Webby are staying back.
What at you will you do?

(Now is the time to make the final decision of your plans that will take place during the bee intermission.)

>>18709891

"Do not think you can threaten me, drone, while I had no intent to addict your queen to this nectar I will not bat an eye if your hive tears itself apart after you threaten me or my family, I will honor my promise to give you this nectar, hopefully eventually weaning your Hive off of it, but if you harm me or mine the deal is off."

Say it in a dead-pan voice then turn around and mount Kahless again.

"Have you considered Apis Anonymous?"

Well, make armour and paint for Arnor or Khaal, train spiderling in the neat trhow, reinforce the security of our base...

>>18709920

"Yeah, what ever..."

You jump on Kahless and then both parties fly to their respective ways.
You start making plans for preparations and other stuff.

Now is the time for bees.

Did 321 get a chance to check out Kahless?

>>18710030
I think than he barely noticed it... With the drug and all.

>>18710039

321 isn't on the drug.

>>18710047
Hmm. Then my idea of war paints and armour seems mandatory, to make a most important entrance and all that.

No drugs, 321 just has her own obsessions.

Keep in mind the hive is all sisters, all the time. Boys are just a rumor.

>>18709993

You are now 321.
The trade with the spider didn't go as you had planned. In hindsight, it was stupid to get the pollen gatherers with you, so you could intimidate the spider into submission.

How could' you have known that the spider had a dragonfly? Now the gatherers are pestering you with questions about that whole incident.

"Hey, 321! What was that thing about?"
"Yeah, what did that weird spider give to you?"
"What did it mean when it said that our queen is addicted to nectar or something?"

Overseer is gonna get pissed if he hears that others are aware of the queens status.

Buzz dang it! What will you do?

>>18710075
Shut up the drones, threatening them in exile of something if they speak with anyone about this, then inform overseer about the huge Dragonfly.

"WehaveenoughtodowithoutquestionsnowENOUGH! .. dragonfly? .. ohmyohwhatdoIdo?"

We could track down 313 and get some advice? Or do a misery dump. We need some help.

Maybe the Royal guard? Ask her what's going on, what her perspective is?

>>18710110

You are of the same status with them, you have no authority to exile them. Threatening them with that would raise suspicions.
Are you sure you want to do that?

>>18710174
Err, no, then advice them about speaking about that issue will enrage the supervisor.

Or give them a bit of nectar. This can work too...

Bitches can't HANDLE Bibi's badassery.

>>18710189
We need a picture in Bibi a la warlord or conqueror.

>>18710187

>give them nectar

You mean the same nectar that made your queen and council into a slobbering retards who craves for their next fix of the stuff?

>>18710221
hmm.

Well, perhaps it's a bad idea.

Offer Sex in exchange of silence? I'm running out of ideas.

>>18710235

No worries. The threat of enraged higher officers is enough to keep the gatherers silent, for now at least.

Anyways, you are back at the nest. What will you do?

We could go to the wasps for help xD

You know what? Why don't we just let it all out? This hive is gonna be a disaster if we don't do something and maybe a revolution is the answer?

>>18710260
Well, we can try to go first to the queen and get his favour. But then we risk the wrath of the supervisor. Or we can try to pimp the queen and make him our puppet in exchange of nectar.

>>18710287
>queen
>him

Dude, what?

>>18710336
Err her? I Doesn't speak English. Or at least well.

You fly to the royal chamber.

There is a royal guard standing at the entrance to the queen's chamber.
"Halt! The queen must not be bothered right now.
Go to your respective officer and report for new orders. The royal chamber is off limits for simple workers."

wat do?

>>18710373
... Well, go to the supervisor then, and report about the imposing spider with fancy armour and riding a fucking dragonfly...

May as well be a him - we'll never get close enough to chat one up anyway.

Screw it let's just get this delivery over with then we can plan.

>>18710373
"I have news directly for the queen's guards concerning her...current state." *nudge nudge wink wink*

"Personal delivery for the queen step aside."

Suddenly the overseer flies from the queen's chamber.

"Ah, you finally came back! Now give me the nectar! The queen needs it urgently!

Wait, is this all? This won't last for even a few days. How can we keep her satisfied with just this?"

>>18710463
"The Spider promised more within two days. This was as much as she could gather on such short notice..."

"Moresoonherebai."

And get out of there. We have a revolution to foment.

"Sorry, the spider said wasps took the rest"

>>18710500

"Good, good! Now I must attend the queen. Bring the nectar to the chamber will you!"

You carry the bundle to the queen.
You have never seen her before, and even though she isn't in a very good condition you can't help but being in awe at her presence.

"Whose there,,zz!" she moans.

"It's just me, the overseer B12. I have more of the delicious nectar that you wanted."

"What... what nectar?"

"The nectar you craved. I have it here. You may drink it now."

"I, I don't..."

"But you said that you needed the nectar, now we have it here."

Suddenly, the guard interrupts.
"Stop! She is becoming lucid again! We can't let her-"

"Shut up! She is just groggy, the nectar will make her head clear again, won't it my queen?"

"zzz- smells goood...."

"Here take it all."

"NO!" yells the guard.
"Yes!" says the overseer as the queen drinks the nectar.

"ZZZZZZZSSS! BZSWBZB! WHOOOS BSZWWWR!"

The queen goes fully ballistic again!
"What game are you playing! You messed her all up again!" the guard is enraged at the overseer.

They begin to argue heavily with each other, seemingly forgotten about your presence.
Wat do?

>>18710669

Murder the fuck out of the Overseer, if the Guard asks why tell him that it was OBVIOUS that the Overseer was trying to control the queen.

Hide in the chamber.

How long was it until the last .. uh .. buzz wore off?

HIDE BEHIND THE QUEEN!

Murder queen, hide overseer, carry away guard.

Tell the queen there is more delicious nectar inside the overseer's head.

>>18710696

Murder the overseer?
You realize that she is bigger and stronger than you? And using your stinger would be suicide. You aren't a wasp.

And besides, it seems that the guard is already trying to do that.

"I will stop you before you can harm our queen any further! What ever you are trying to accomplish won't happen!"

"You have already lost! You comrades have been delegated to outer guard duty, they can't help you, and when the wasps come, they will the first ones to go! We will replace the royal guard with one loyal to the overseers!"

"We?!"

"You didn't think that I was the only one behind this? We overseers have had enough of the queen and her council pushing us around! We will take control, pacify the queen with the drugs for steady egg production! We will guide the hive to a better future! A future without oppression from either you or the wasps!"

Suddenly other overseers drop from the sealing and together they overwhelm the lone guard.

Meanwhile you went and hid away from this struggle.

>>18710865

Forgot mah name

>>18710865

Whisper to the Queen that there is more nectar inside the Overseer's skulls.

Hazelpollen!

Hide some more!

>>18710905
.... genius. I'm curious as to see what happens.

>>18710905

You whisper the queen that there is more nectar inside the overseer's skull.

You are not sure if she understood anything, but she still rises up for some reason and starts erratically crawling towards the overseers who are currently struggling with the guard.

"What is that worker doing in here?" one yells as she spots you.
But before anyone can reply, the queen in upon the whole group. The overseers disperse as the queen starts lashing out at them, trying to catch them to her jaws. The guard who was pinned to the ground is not so lucky. She is crushed under the queen as it rampages over her in it's attempts to catch the overseers.

What will you do now?

>>18711025
Diiiiip; diiiiiiiip.

Wonder if that spider has room for a lonesome bee...

um .. leave? "Der Crushinator" is too much for us to handle now.

You get the buzz out!

You are not sure if the overseers noticed your departure.
What will you do now?

>>18711143
Find these outer guards! We must alert them to the foul things afoot with the Queen!

>>18711188

You fly out in search of the guards.
Instead of guards, you spot 313, who also spots you.

"Hey 321! What's the hurry?"

grab her and go

"Notimenotimegogogogo"

>>18711258
"Game over, man; game over!"

"Queen! Nector! Mind control! Overseers!"

>>18711300
>>18711301

You hastily attempt to explain your situation while simultaneously grabbing her with you.
"What are you doing?! What the buzz is going on?!"

>>18711358
"We're looking for help. We need to go to some of the outlying bees and see if we can find any former guards."

>>18711358
The overseers are launching a coup against the Queen! We need to get out so we can stop them!

>>18711478

You explain what you are seeking to 313.
"But why?"
"No time to explain!"
You fly out of the nest and spot a bigger bee right beside the entrance.
She actually seems to be a guard.

You fly to her, clearly distressed.
"What's the matter little one?"

overseersareusingspikednectartodrugthequeenandtakeoverthecolonyandBAD THINGS

EEEEVIIIIL

>>18711662

"....what the buzz did you say?"

"She said that the overseers are attempting to control the queen with drugged nectar so that they can take over the colony." 313 quickly explains.

"What! That cant be! The royal guard would stop them! This isn't a thing to joke about! Get back to work!"

>>18711768
Is this the face of a FUNNY BEE to you?

>>18711784

"hmmm, I guess not. Even if you were joking, the joke wouldn't be very funny. It lacks the punch line and everything....
Anyways, even if we assume that the overseers were taking over, convincing the rest of the guards to act would be hard.
You know what, why won't we take you two to the disciplinary office for questioning? They will know for sure if you are making this up. They have their ways to dig out the truth out of any bee.

>>18711866
We're trying to help, not get ourselves.. questioned.

>>18711941

But your accusations warrant questioning.
I can't just take your claims at face value, but they are severe enough for us to properly investigate. And the investigation begins with you. I'm sorry, but I am afraid that I'll have to arrest you.

>>18712040
>"Look, just send some guards to the queens chambers if you do, will you? Please. We'll cooperate, just do your duty and protect the queen!"

When in doubt, cooperate. Police 101.

"OK we're off to the disciplinary officer kthanksbai"

split!

>>18712064
this

please do this

>>18712064

"I will. Now come with me!"

You fly back to the nest. It seems that the calamity in the queen's chambers hasn't been noticed yet. The guard takes you to the disciplinary chambers.

"Wait here. The interrogator will come soon. I will send some guards to check up with the royal guard. They should know what's going on.
Kinda weird how so many of them flew outside few hours ago though.... I probably something important..." the guards monologue trails off as he flies away.

Right.

So who's here with us this time?

>>18712202
"313; you think everything will be alright?"

>>18712227
It seems that it is just the two of you this time.
>>18712241

"How should I know? I didn't drag myself to this mess, you did!"

>>18712319
"Hey! Don't you want to save the Queen? What kind of bee are you?!"

>>18712319

what's that green stuff doing on the floor?
investigate.

>>18712340

"Well, off course I want to! But, you just got me involved into this stuff without my consent..."

>>18712438
This.

>>18712438
yes we should explore were the trail leads to
something fishy is going on in here

>>18712438

It seems to be blood.
It has the distinct scent of royal guard pheromones.

"321, I don't like this at all!"

>>18712499
"We have to know!"

>>18712508

"Do we? What if we get into even more trouble?"
You cautiously approach the doorway.

>>18712499
oh shi- follow blood trail but be carefull!
get ready to get the buzz out of there and look for the spider who aparantly has a dragonfly under her command

>>18712562
"313; We're the only ones who can help now! We can't be timid."

>>18712569

Following the blood trail...

...the trail ends to this chamber. There is a heavily wounded royal guard lying on the floor.

>>18712658
"Sup?"

>>18712684

You attempt to introduce yourself.
The guard is barely able to respond:
"...zzzlittle sisterrr... what are you doing here..? It's dangerouss here....the wasps will come soon..overseer bastards....called them....they will come....and kill....already came for me...zzz"

>>18712658
>>18712773
take royal guard with you and escape before the wasps arrive!!
quickly!

Agree take guard and jet

>>18712904

She declines your offer, as she is already gravely wounded.
"You escape little one...the overseers seek to use the wasps....they think they ..c-zzzzzsssh.....outsmart them....what foolsss"

Suddenly you hear commotion coming from the waiting chamber.

Let's think about a few things real quick...
>the queen will listen to 321 when on nectar
>Most of the royal guard are slow to respond at the moment, because of metaphorical red tape
>We can bite, bees don't only sting
>Other workers are willing to listen to us

I would say ants, but that's meta as fuck.

¡Viva la Revolución!

Is there any other way out? Hell, can we bite thru the wall?

Cover ourselves in blood and hide in plain site?

>>18713006
If we can, that would probably take much too long.

So what will you do?
There doesn't seem to be any places to hide.

bump for a consensus

I just opened this board and... Fuck yeah Spider Quest!

I love you OP.

"Guard, can you put up one last fight?"

I have an idea but we need to move fast and sacrifice the guard.

Also, our last trump card. WE are the supplier of the queens fix. Why are we here again? I think we need to concoct a story about telling the spiders not willing to supply any more until we go meet them.

Plan: Toss the guard out the door "LOOK OUT HE'S ESCAPING!" and run like all get out during the confusion.

We need to leave. Leave the nest. Like, now.

We don't know for certain if the commotion is friend or foe, so maybe we should take a quick peek...
If foe, say we're the suppliers of the nectar and know how to get more.

You overhear the discussion going on outside.

"...and remember not to kill the workers, just capture them! The success of this coup depends on one of the workers right now, and if she dies, your people won't get their easy supply of honey anymore, because if we can't control the queen, she will put up a fight like in the old days."

You ask the guard if she can still fight.
"...zzz... I will secure your ...escape...little sisters...."

we need to fucking leave this place as fast as possible with as many as possible richt the buzz now!
find a way out and try to convince as many others as we can without the overseers or wasps finding out.

>>18713151
Thank the guard as sincerely as possible and get ready to fly faster than any other.

Yeah, our trump card is the fact we are the contact point with the spiders. We may need to use that.

If the dolts in the next room leave let's just grab the guard and go.

If not go with the final guard charge and try to escape.

>>18713151
Hopefully the wasps don't know our scent...

"Understood overseer. It is good that you finally realize that with co-operation, this is a lot less painful for both of us."

The wasp approaches.

Uhh..
So have 313 help lift the guard and charge down the corridor. When we get close enough, throw the guard at the wasps and escape. Y/N?

I say we try to start a revolution

>>18713284
This while shouting "IT'SALOTMOREPAINFULTHANYOUTHINK!"

All of the above.

Did everybody leave?

No need to throw the guard!

She gathers the final scraps of her strength and charges the wasp.
"FOR THE QUEEN AND THE COLONY!"
"What is this, you want to fight me again you little bitch?"

At the same moment you and 313 bolt the buzz out of there.

"Ignore the guard, the workers are escaping!" the overseer yells.
"Get off me you piece of-!" the wasp is cut off as the guard pummels into her.

>>18713285 here
I agree with this >>18713334

>>18713397
I kind of agree with every else's sentiments; starting a revolution is the best coarse of action right now. It's that or run away from the colony, giving the Wasps time to fortify it.

You and 313 fly away as fast as you can, but it seems that the overseer is chasing you.

Wat do?

>>18713492

Wrong name for this thread. Sorry for that.

>>18713492
To the worker quarters! We shall seek allies among the people!

>>18713505
agreed

>>18713492
Do and aerial back flip and get above him. Then dive down and bite his neck

>>18713505

You dive swiftly to the worker quarters.
"Wait for me 321! I am not as fast as you are!" 313 yells. The overseer is catching up to you.

>>18713564
"The overseers are plotting a coup!"

>>18713564
No time for dramatic speeches.

"WASP IN THE QUEEN'S CHAMBER! WASP IN THE QUEEN'S CHAMBER! THIS OVERSEER LET IT IN!"

>>18713609
this

>>18713609
I concur

The equivalent of yelling fire "WASP IN QUEEN CHAMBER!"

>>18713609
>>18713602

You scream about the overseers schemes as you fly into the worker lounge.
The other workers look at the wild chase going on with puzzled confusion.

"Wasp? In the queen's chamber?"
"What is going on?"
"What did 321 say about the overseers?"

Do the yelling and head for the hive exit!

>>18713685
"YOU HEARD MY BUZZING ASS! EVERYONE GET HIM, THEN OFF TO THE QUEEN'S CHAMBER!"

Needs more caps lock.

"Save us!"

695: "Hey Earl something's happening."
755: "Yeah some commotion."
695: "Something about wasps."
755: "Not my problem hoss. Not your problem either."
695: "ZZzzzz"

OK. This hive is dense as .. and we worry that Bibi's building a hillbilly den?

>>18713697
this

You continue yelling but you are suddenly interrupted by the overseer.

"SHUT UP AND STOP WHERE YOU ARE!
Now you little working class scum will do exactly as I say or I'll rip the antennae off from your little friends head. You will come with me, and we will discuss our plan in private.
And for the rest of you! 321 is a traitor and a liar who has conspired against the hive with foreign powers! You will ignore everything she says! There are absolutely none wasps in the hive! You will now return to your duties and forget what you saw here!"

"321 conspiring?"
"Quite a stretch, even she isn't stupid enough."
"What was that about wasps?"

The workers are still following the scene, despite the overseers orders.

Suddenly:

"321, is our queen ok?"

"WHO ASKED THAT!" yells the overseer.
"352, pollen gatherer! I heard how the spider said that our queen is addicted to nectar or something!"
"WHAT! NO YOU DIDN'T! GO TO THE DISCIPLINARY OFFICE AT ONCE!
(with a lowered voice) what have you been telling them 321! You will pay for this if it spreads!"

By the gods, what will you do?

"The queen needs her medicine but the spiders won't deal except thru me. They expect am ambush if I'm not there. Release 313 then we'll talk."

>>18713882
I say that we consent for now with the overseer, so that we don't lose 313.

>>18713882
"No, the Queen is not OK..."

Diplomacy mode activated!

"Overseer, look around you and at who you're threatening. You think that holding a fellow worker hostage for no real reason is going to keep this entire room back? Either you let 313 go and we let you live OR you lay another appendage on her head and we encase you in our hard-earned labor."

We must prove the overseer's plot to are sisters! See if we can return to the disciplinary chambers with the other workers before the guard dies and the wasp escapes, that will surely prove it.

>>18713882

Give some sort of sign, nod, whatever, just so at least one of the other workers understands something is off, then comply with the overseer's demands.

We can't let our friend 313 be hurt over this, it's our fault she's even in this mess to begin with.

"I will go with you IF you release 313 right here and now."

So, what is the consensus?

>>18713991 here
I change my mind, let us do this >>18713966

Caring for our friend is nice, guys, but you have to remembers: we're a bee. Queen in danger > friend or ourselves for that matter.

Screw it let's attack the overseer. He can't tackle us both right?

>>18714062
This is a bee hive. Excluding drones, everyone's a "she."
Thank you.

>>18713966

I don't take threats from you!
These numb-nuts won't dare to touch me! You WILL co-operate, or I WILL hurt your friend, end of discussion! The workers don't care about you! They only care about work and food, as should you!

I don't think that the overseer actually expects us to attack. So let's do that. Charge.

>>18714126
"And what good is it if our Queen is thralled to some addictive nector!? Workers of the hive; YOUR! QUEEN! NEEDS YOU!"

Chaaaarge~

>>18714109

( clearly 321 needs some male company, she's starting to hallucinate gender ... )

You and few other bees charge the overseer.
Suddenly however, the wasp bursts to the chamber.
"I killed the guar...what's going on here!"
...
There is a moment of silence, followed by panic.

"WASP IN THE DRONE CHAMBERS! WASP IN THE DRONE CHAMBERS!"
"ALARM! ALARM!"
" FLY FOR YOUR LIVES!"

The workers disperse in chaotic fashion, while yelling and screaming.

"No! You idiot, now you revealed yourself!" yells the overseer.

It is utter buzzing chaos.
What do?

>>18714261
Fight!

>>18714270
Attack the overseer to free 313
Then escape to the queen's chamber.

Roll for attack 1d10
Number to beat: 6

>>18714261
Punch and/or bite the overseer in one of her eyes, free 313, and get everyone to panic past the guards. We can't take on a wasp.

rolled 1 = 1

>>18714328
Kaaaa~

rolled 4 = 4

here goes nothing

rolled 2 = 2

>>18714328
Kaaaa~

>>18714328
Oh, I forgot to say that highest of the first 3 count.

We clearly need more combat training.

>>18714389
>>18714392
>>18714406
YOU FUCKED US, THIS IS GOING TO END IN TRAGEDY AND IT'S YOUR FAULT

We're more of a drug mule than a brawler.

TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR ANOTHER EXCITING EPISODE OF BEE FUNERAL QUEST AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR.

The dice! It has betrayed us!

You manage to catch the overseer by surprise, and hit a solid punch on her, allowing 313 free herself and escape.
Unfortunately the wasp manages to flank you and quickly subdues you, as you lack the strength to fight the creature.

As the dust settles and only you, overseer and the wasp are still present, the wasp hands you to the overseer, who quickly binds you like she binded 313. Suddenly, the chamber is flooded with guards and warriors.
"WASP SPOTTED! ELIMINATE"
"YES, KILL THE WASP!" yells the overseer.
"WHAT! YOU TRAITOROUS BASTARD!"

Before the wasp is able to do anything to the overseer, she is swarmed by the defenders of the hive. The overseer quickly drags you away to the royal chambers.

"You will pay for this! You messed up our plans! But not too horribly luckily! We can still win this...." she mutters as she carries you to the private chambers.

>>18714543
Ruh-roh.

>>18714543
What exactly have we been bound with?
I say we wait until we are in the chamber. Hopefully the queen is still looking for nectar in the overseer's heads.

>>18714579

Bound, was a poor choice of words.
What I meant was that the overseer basically held you in place with her strength and carried you away.

>>18714600
Ahh, okay. I was going to say to chew through the bindings. I guess we can bite the overseer when we're good and ready.

We get one sting. Use it wisely. Use it on the overseer.

>>18714659
Don't use it

>>18714659

Or, that is to say, get ready to.

We're a professional here. Let's see what the fascist black boots have on offer for their only supplier. We can deal. Relax.

Oh boy, it's Spiderquest! I am kinda late to the party though....and too tired to participate this time :-/

You arrive at the royal chamber, and the you enter one of the side chambers, formerly used by the now drugged up council.

"Now listen you little worker bitch! I have had enough of you meddling with our plans. It ends now. No more games! You will play your part in our scheme, or we will break you until you beg to work for us. You will go back to the spider like you agreed with it, make a deal for another shipment and then bring the nectar back.

The wasps will arrive here in three days, the nectar must be here before they are. It is vital, you understand!? You will not leave this chamber until tomorrow. I won't tolerate you stirring up any further mess than you already did. We can spin the recent events in our way, but it will take effort. Effort that we could spend otherwise.
Did you understand me you stupid little worker shit?!"

The overseer should know that 321 is the only bee that Bibi will make the exchanges with.

>>18714696
>seek Spider help
> proceed with insurgency once we begin riling up supporters

"O-...ok..."

>>18714698

The overseer doesn't seem to care to know, which works to our advantage. We're going to plan with the spider. She's our anti wasp hope now.

One way or another we're not delivering another shipment of anything. Queen's sobering up starting now.

Thing is - what happens in three days? The guard gets whacked? That should give us some leverage on the spider to intervene. If the wasps eliminate the guard we're no longer of use to them.

Hopefully this is not all meta.

We should post on Hivechan and post facts anonymously on /bee/ to start a public disturbance.

Yeah .. "Oh. OK."

She can kiss all the peace and order goodbye after that.

Anyone have any questions for the overseer? Now's a good time to get her monologuing ...

>>18714728

You tell her that you agree.

"Good! This is all for the good of the hive.
This way we can finally eliminate the cursed wasps. They will never suspect anything!
Just get the nectar here! It is the key for our freedom!"

Right. Deep breath and .. control .. control ..

"Where is the council? I mean it's one thing to feed the queen but they can gorge up a storm you know."

>>18714831

"Oh no they wont!
They have been dealt with already. They won't be doing anything that could threaten our plans."

"I'm all for eliminating the wasps, you of all should know that. If that's what you're doing then I'm your girl, no need for threats. But how?"

>>18714876
:<

>>18714894
this sounds good to me,

>>18714894

You ask her how exactly will this plan eliminate the wasps.

"Glad that you asked! It's quite brilliant actually! I came up with it myself. The wasps want our honey, so lets give it to them. Give massive amounts of it to them. And drug all that honey with the nectar! They would never see it coming, and before long, their hive would be in crumbles! They are so few of them, that we can give away enough honey to feed them all, and thus poison them all!
But the queen or the council would never allow that! They would see it as abhorrent. That is why we need to keep them drugged for now. So that we may finally be free from the wasps!"

"Now see, that was easy. Let's do it."

>>18715054

The plan is set in motion.

And I must stop now.
Spider Quest will resume next Saturday and that time, it will be more focused on the actual spiders. I felt that this intermission was the most natural way of telling what is going on inside the bee hive so that is why it happened.

But time is running short, it is almost 4 am here and I need to sleep. I will reply to input for few moments before hitting the bunk though.
And thanks for the anon who archived this thread.

>>18715109

Thanks for all your brilliant work! It was a pleasure as always. Spiders and Insects never were so cute before.

Thank you! ( And you're welcome. )

I for one am greatly enjoying our escapades in the hive. Not in preference to eliminating our main protagonists, it's just the occasional change in viewpoint is a nice touch.

>>18715148
>>18715168

Thanks for the input, and to everyone else who also participated in the quest. You, the people of /tg/ are vital for any quest, including this.
You rock!
See you next Saturday for spiderquesting. In other days I'll be in Indonesian Gentleman's evo threads.
I'll hit the bunk now.
Later gents!
