EDIT: Weird idea. Do you think that the Honey these bees are making is harvested from the grief of this Witch's victims?

[jk] Taste the honey

Sure why not.
 
[jk] As usual, mentally nature documentary narrate your situation

Here we have two young predators in the lair of the notorious Beedrill hive. Do they want the grief seed, glory or just the mysterious Grief honeycomb? wait...looks like the red one just Aggroed a soldier bee... Here we go!!

The drones and workers keep moving as you and Kyouko keep close to each other. You gulp a little and hold her closely, as you make sure that things stay calm and cool.

You both move through, before a drone walks in front of you idly. It's about half your size, wings as long as your arms and legs unnaturally long. It crawls in front of you, before it slowly turns to look directly at you. The eyes look like they've been hastily sketched, and the legs look like twisted pieces of wire. The wings flap once, before it tilts its head.

You flinch at the movement, and you move your sword forwards, almost on instinct.

The bee stares at you coldly, flicking its legs and shuffling its wings. It's now on-guard.

[X] Talk to Koko
- [X] Stuff


'...I-it's pissed.' You say. 'I-it's mad.'

'No shit.'
Kyouko holds her spear up. The bee looks at you both, as another drone moves close to look. Followed by another and another. Several dozen bees are now looking at you, with some of them starting to buzz idly as their wings flap at a high speed.

[X] Find the witch

A loud, low tone echoes through the chambers. It starts high, before it descends to a lower and lower pitch. It eventually tapers off, as the bees all move close to you. One of them tilts its head, as your hands begin to shake.

[OPTION SELECT]

[] DO. NOT. AGGRO. THE BEES.

[] Run.

[] Find the witch.

[] Coordinate with Kyouko.

Whelp. Cover's blow on the familiars. Probably gonna get bee aggro soon. Might be able to avoid said aggro if we kill em fast enough or run like hell. Don't think the witch's found us yet if that sound tapering off was any indication.

With Sayaka at 200c already and we're not even at the Witch I'm rather reluctant to expend magic here and risk injury through combat. Then again, running runs the risk of not being able to outpace the bees and taking the injury anyway. Tough call, really.

Of course, running and putting down Blade Blocks or Bead Walls could work. And it's not like exploding swords/pins/blade whips wouldn't make quick work of the familiars.

-[X] "Erm, hello? We mean no harm!"


Bee Witch. Bee's only attack in self defense, so we should be safe so long as we don't offer any agressiveness. Besides which, as bee's are a symbol of cooperation and industry, they MIGHT be smart enough to communicate, theoretically.
 
Welp, now we got their attention. Yay~

[jk] Keep calm and carry on.
[jk] Start a dance battle against the drones. You have Anko by your side, you can't lose.

And now on the serious bussiness.

[x] Coordinate with Kyouko.
-[x] Bead wall between you, her and them.
-[x] Blade blocks attached to the walls.
-[x] Ready your pin-shooting hilts. If one gets to close (mostly guaranteed to happen), or goes aggresive, BANG!
--[x] If this happens. RUN.

EDIT: Trying to not take risks here. The bead wall/blade block should give us the enough distance to safety shoot at them. Honestly I don't want be dealing withlots of familiars when fighting this witch.

Best offense is defense for now. Thoughts on craziness?

Once again, Bee's. Hostility is the WORST thing we can do.

Facts:

1. Bee's attack in swarms
2. Bee's do not give a shit if they die
3. Regular bee's can be lethal
4. Familiar Bee's would be even worse
5. If we HAVE to fight them, I would prefer we do it closer to the queen, as infinite bee bonanza isn't something I care to deal with
 
Better safe than sorry Jacob. Note that I'm voting for "readying", rather than deliverately openning fire at them.

Honestly, I'm expecting a running fight with the familliars till we either find the witch or the witch comes to us if we actually do fight here. I'm also expecting us to get into a running battle or the witch to come to us even if we run because that's just the sort of bastard thing a bastard GM would do. :p

That said, both the run and fight options are still viable at this point. It's not like we don't have plenty of AoE or CC tools in the tool kit for either situation.
 
Heh. Like we're gonna run away now :D

Also, it is now safe to assume that from now on, Sayaka will encounter Insect-themed witches in every significant fight until Wally?

If so, I'm expecting a fight against a Crab or Mantis witch as well.
 
I think the bees are gonna come after us now no matter what we do (they are familiars, after all). Still, let's take this fight to the queen.
[X] Make a run for it. (find the witch)
-[X] Use bead walls and exploding blades as needed to keep them off of us and clear a path.
