Your friendly spider is definitely trying to tell you to stop fighting.
And so is the antagonist.

...Well. It looks like the fight's over. If they're not gonna actively fight me, why should I actively fight them? All i've really been doing in fights is self-defense. So let's just stop fighting and let everything be done with.

Pit(?) drops his crossbow.

=TURN THIRTY-THREE=
First off, everyone opts to SPARE the Inferno Arachnid. Numbersoup tries to get skill points from sparing the beast, but it turns out you'll get Skill Points for finishing the battle so yeah. You are then given the contents of the Crate Pallet as a reward. 1 Cipher Shop Coupon obtained! 2 Gold obtained! Manaburn Tomb obtained! All players who took part (and dealt damage) gain +1 Skill Point!

Piono then goes to the Altar, STEALS THE WHOLE THING and the 3 pieces of gold. Piono feels his sins crawling on his back; this can't be good for you. Wilson then approaches the Glitch Girl, getting a closer look in the process. She appears to be made of a crumbling glitch substance, glowing a gentle blue yellow. A grey memory orb is embedded in her back. The girl dosen't notice, so Wilson experiments with the gravity by throwing rocks over the edge. They make a very sharp arc downwards, flinging themselves into the depths below. Then, the girl turns to face Wilson...

Her face is completely featureless. No eyes, nose, or anything. The only thing apparent her long flowing hair. Wilson takes a step back, expecting the worst. Then, a small slit appears on her face; it's a mouth of sorts. A perfectly clear, but highly generic female voice comes out.
??: Hello.
??: Who are you, exactly..?
She stares quizzically at Wilson.
??: ...do you know who I am?
??: He didn't really know, either.
She resumes looking into the distance, but says something else to Wilson.
??: I need to get back into Memoir Cave.
??: The only way to hopefully fix this place is through there.
??: I need to restart his process.
??: Cause the Reboot.
It seems she's friendly. How nice. Too bad she's playing the pronoun game. Elsewhere, Engie emerges from the depths of the Basement, Clentaminator in hand. He's FREEEEEE! He also has a Skill Point so that's a thing too.

It's time. Bust open the Cavern Plug and fight (maybe) whatever's beyond!

First off, I check out the Glimmering Web and wonder what happened to the Crate Palette in the Web zone.

Other people, go check out the edge. Check the Fruit, hit the Gold Vein, and so on.

As for the Cavern Plug, well...It's kind of obvious what we need to do with that. Clentaminator + Green Solution = The Crimtane turning into Regular Stone, which we then mine...Except, we could also use, like, a Laser Drill or a Shroomite Digging Claw or something, those also destroy Crimtane.

Or TNT.

I walk to Piono's location and use Beam on him. Stop trying to get yourself killed, or I might just grant your death wish.

We have the plot coupons! Head for the exit pronto!

Whoa, hold on. If you could tell me exactly what I should be doing, please do.

You see, the place where you need to go was blocked off, and now you have both the things necessary to remove the barrier.

Okay, now I think I got it. So we use that new weapon and the solution to break the barrier in the cave?

Technically, yes, you need to do that.

Okay, should I go over and actually do it?

Nobody else is, knock yourself out.

Okay. I'll EQUIP the Clentaminator (I never picked up my crossbow, and I figure it's a good time to try something new) and start making my way to the cave entrance.

I smile.
It is time.
Alright, next zone!
I use heal on myself.

Generic, please don't in fight. That's going to just make divides in our party deeper.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Willow starts to move into position between Wilson and the Glitch Girl, but Wilson stops her, keeping her back. Also, it seems that the Glitch Girl's text color randomly changed from a blue to this yellow.

As in, you'd like to know my name? I've had a few over time. My name is Wilson. And... no. I don't know who you are. You could tell me if you want. Does this "he" you're talking about happen to be Chaos? Have you met him?

TNT would be of limited effectiveness...And a bit of waste, really.

In any case, Engie, check that monitor out, if you'd be so kind.

Generic, I'd say don't kill Piono, but the Wand prevents teamkilling with Beam, which is entirely AoE damage (contrast: Thunderburst, which you CAN aim at specific squares), and realistically you have no other attack. But seriously, don't kill Piono.

/null.

@generic: I think that this is a win-win scenario for everybody. I get to steal everything and come up with zany schemes based on the random crap I obtain, and everybody else gets to watch as I die over and over again yet still get to use all the crap I stole.
Because honestly, I was figuring that I was gonna be dead before, but you know what? why not take it all the way?

So please don't try to kill me, however, I do have a second request.
Don't bother trying to revive me in the fight against the Sleuth either. Any attempts to keep me alive for a prolonged period of time are going to be completely futile. I do, however, have a few plans I want to implement.

Actually, right now I only have 1: vine slingshot.
Vines have a certain amount of stretch to them, and because this is DTG, that means we should reasonably be able to use them in a similar manner to a slingshot. When we reach the boss, I want everyone to try and use the far area and the vines to make a large, multi-square slingshot, from which we can shoot any sufficiently large ammo For Massive Damage.
Ammo ideas:
the TNT block (nice way to center the explosion on a specific tile instead of right in the middle of everybody)
The broken cage (its large enough, and should probably do more damage than launching a player. Or at least, won't result in self-damage at least.)
The wooden desk (see above)
The Stone Grave (+50 insult to injury damage)
my corpse (probably the only way I'm going to get to deal significant damage in the Sleuth fight)

Anyways, I look into the hole. If it appears to be hiding something, I take it. If it appears to be hiding a dungeon, I go ahead and go into it, because seriously, I can stand to arrive late to that boss fight over there. I'm going to die either way soon after my arrival, so I might as well clean up the area for everyone else before I head over.
If there isn't a dungeon or other such thing that will require more than a full turn to examine, I head on over to the cavern entrance with everyone else. Might as well get this over with.

Anyways: on to secret hunting! (by the way ire, thanks so much for making the Bill Cipher give use clues as to when to look for things)
"What do you look like? I never truly knew what you looked like, but you kept talking to me. It was nice" (probably related to the girl Wilson met.
"She lost her weapon. Boo."
"Some powerful memories manifest in special ways; some craft bodies for themselves. The others simply take on a colored mass of whatever the memory relates to."
"Muffet pours you a cup of spdiers. ...You find a cup of spiders." (typo count: 1)
Also, the message about temmies now includes: "AND WE MEAN MORE THAN TEMMIE FLAKES AND OREOS AND PURPLE THINGS."
There was also a gold in the far corner.

Non-text:
At JE1055 there's a small diagram, with "3 / 7" above it. It has 7 markers, the first three are red and labeled DESTROYED, the fifth is yellow and labeled UNSTABLE. The rest are blue and labeled STABLE
At PA1170 there's another Undertale style fight, this time against a tape wraith. It is guarding another chaos log. (I attempt repenting, and then apply clutch dodges to not get murdered)

I just realized something.
The_Nonexistent_Tazz stands for something.
TNT, that's what the initials spell out.
His avatar on the Minecraft Forums now make sense to me.

Not really, but at first I wasn't quite sure it was intentional.

Originally posted on 2015-11-05 18:58:00

I bank my skill point and go check out the monitor. Who knows, maybe it has games on there. Like Tetris.

Originally posted on 2015-11-05 19:29:00

I move northwards.

I walk over to the Edge (where I clearly wasn't before; seriously, Ire, update my position already! Was at the web before this), and examining the Fruit and the Gold Vein; ya know, just in case there's some horribad surprises hidden there. Like the fruit is poisonous, or the Gold Vein is a trap. If one or both of them are neither of those things, I mine the Gold Vein by hauling out a Nightmare Pickaxe (the one that can mine Crimstone, Ebonstone, or Pearlstone) and mining it.

As for the fruit, I check around to see if there aren't any hungry mobs out there, and pick the fruit if there are none around.

After all was said and done, I pull out a piece of paper, make a paper airplane out of it in record time, and try to fly it over the edge. Which I bet will result in failure. In fact, I bet one gold on it.

>New Poll: Break the Cavern Plug!
Once you open it; you MUST go inside and deal with whatever's in there...

Tazz examines the Glimmering Web. It's very shiny, and probably made of gold. It also seems to reflect light really well. Tazz then realizes that the spiders gave him the contents of the Crate Pallet. Insert is then denied of using his Beam on Piono because he's gonna die anyway and (t)ha(t)'d be a was(t)e of mp so he doesn't use it. Pit then equips the Clentaminator, casting aside his Crossbow. Redstone then heals himself to full, while Willow continues talking to the Glitch Girl.
??: Ah, so it's Wilson.
??: Come to think of it, I've seen you in a few other memories around here.
??: It's nice to meet you.
??: I'd love to tell you who I am, but...
??: In truth, I really don't know.
??: I'm but his memory. And by his, I mean Ire's.
??: Ire and I never truly met. I'm but what he thinks I am.
??: We did talk nearly every day, though.
??: I have met Chaos though.
??: It's weird talking with him. He seems to hate me, but wants to keep me safe at the same time.
??: I don't get it.
??: Anyway, it's been nice talking with you. I need to find a way back into Memoir Cave.
She quickly converts into a massive blob of yellow glitched particles, and floats towards the Cavern Mouth at breakneck speeds. Elsewhere, Piono looks into the hole left by the altar, and finds a dirt sculpture of a hand, with the central figure extended. Huh. He then heads to the Cavern Mouth. Engie then checks the monitor, and finds a fully functioning game of Tetris. The highscore is 9999999, by a player called "cha0swins". He also finds two documents, which he somehow removes from the computer and stores in the inventory. Numbersoup then heads to the Cavern Mouth.

At the Edge, Darkside examines both the fruit and the gold vein. The fruit appears to be a strange, highly-unstable glitch fruit. If you could find a safe way to hold it, it could probably make a good weapon. You then look at the Gold Vein, and it appears to be harmless. You then smash the vein to bits and obtain two pieces of gold!

=ENDLESS DESERT=
Piono finds a piece of gold, and a cup of spiders! He stores both in his inventory, then tries to repent! However, it's eardrums are full of water. (shut up ghosts have eardrums) Piono then attempts to dodge in a generic way, taking (6) points of damage from sticky tape shots.

Originally posted on 2015-11-06 02:32:00

I'll dry, you repent. I also read the documents.
"from red:
u4r10d5l2u3"
???

Ten scales. Ten scales before it descends.
Wait, we found this already didn't we.

Originally posted on 2015-11-06 03:21:00

Ermm... why isn't the cup of spiders in the group inventory?
Anyways, I pay for temmie's college education, and use the coupon we still seem to have and however much additional gold is needed to buy the augmentation spell, and switch out my enchant weapon ability for it.

While insert dries the tape wraith, I do a high-speed macro-dodge repenting process, which is performed by flailing about wildly in a reconcilliatory manner and spinning about so fast that bullets can't hit you.

Okay, once somebody checks out the glimmering web and deals with the glitch fruit, there'll be nothing left to do, so I say we wait until that's dealt with and then go in.

I sit on a poorly constructed chair made out of the wood planks I stole from the shack, flipping through a magazine.
I look up at the others gathered around the cave opening.
So... uh, you guys'll save some loot for me, right?
I have a sneaking suspicion I won't be alive to collect it at the time.
