> No more talking, fist to face now! Like the title.

> Our fist to her face by the way.

> Your answer is a closed fist and a charge at the Inside Informant. She doesn't stop speaking as you close.
> "Ah, you've just got to go and mess things up for everyone. I don't have time to play with you. Check this out, though, it's pretty cool!"
> She dodges your first attack, which you had trouble aiming - that blurring is really annoying.
> "Lift restrictions one through twelve, administrator access enabled, debug mode enabled, engage code one!" She shouts into the air.
> The area starts rumbling.
> A broad red grin spreads on the otherwise featureless "face" of the Inside Informant.
> "You'd better start moving, you annoying witch. Don't want to see that pretty face of yours smeared over the cavern wall."

> Combat roll to the left if she tries anything.

> You pull away and roll to the left just in time: a radiant-white ball of plasma flashes into existence where you were just moments before.
> With a slow, rhythmic flapping of black wings, a humanoid shape descends through the light-blue haze above the Reactor. Her measured, emotionless voice echoes around the cavern.
> "Code one activated. Administrator defense protocols initiated. Hostile target identified. Commencing neutralization."
> She levels the long barrel on her arm at you, its insides glowing with barely-constrained energy.

>If attacks from above interfere with this, try to dart around them.

> You start towards the Reactor when you realise that you are now Akyu.
> That initial climb was perilous, but you're no worse for wear after braving it. After a series of strange encounters of no consequence involving an underground river and a lost bucket, you found yourself in the caves proper.
> A few minutes ago you found out what that chittering sound was that was following you. It was pretty obvious, in hindsight. Unfortunately, hindsight is perfect, but does not help you when you are trapped in a vast and insidiously sticky web that seems to entangle you with a will of its own. You find yourself barely able to move at all, as a pair of glowing eyes approaches you from a dark nook amongst the stalactites.

Fightest's note: I will be away from home for the next several days. I will try to update from abroad, but no promises, the wireless situation where I'm going is notoriously finicky.

>Sternly warn: "If you attack me, I will have no choice but to beat your abdomen until you silk yourself."

> You've heard some talk about the cave spider lady, and she, like the rest of the occupants of the underground, has been described as a bit of a recluse, but nowhere near this paranoid and hostile. She most certainly is not listening to words right now.

 > You can indeed try to wriggle free. Your clothes are normally quite bulky, and you could probably undo some fastenings here and there. It's not like they offered you much protection, anyway.

> Your kicking techniques are as qualified as your punches. With an appropriate dramatic description, you can apply any Move you have learned to any attack with any part of your body.

> You hold off on the threats for the moment. You do feel the healing goop working its magic yet again - most of the damage from Yuka's beating has been healed, and you only feel a little ache when you flex your lower back.

> The spider comes into view. Her tasteful, subdued clothing is torn and shredded, with bruised and battered skin visible under it. Her right eye is swollen shut. You spot more eyes on her body - she probably has eight in total - one each set in the palm of each of her hands, two more just below her neck on her back, and one each on her shoulders. Half of them are a blind, unhealthy, milky-white. She is muttering curses under her breath, stretching strands of razor-thin silk between her fingers.

> With a bit of a struggle and some squirming, you slip out of your outer clothing, exposing more skin than you'd like to the cloying damp of the cave. You're free, though! You do this quickly enough to startle the spider girl, who skitters back in a panic, hiding behind a stalactite.

> You indicate the jar of goop and step away. When you move back about ten paces, the spider girl warily, with the fatigue of a beaten and abused animal in her eyes, starts inching towards the jar.

> She spends several moments in indecision, reaching for the jar but never touching it, before grabbing it and, hands shaking, rubbing a bit on her right upper arm.

> A moment passes, and, as if some impossibly-taut strings holding her up have been cut, she collapses to her knees, her face an expression of relief, tears streaming from her eyes.

> "Friend...friend...friend..." she keeps repeating.

My apologies for the hiatus! We're back!

> The spider girl speaks without looking up at you as you help spread the healing goop.
> "They came. They came. Violent, brutish, they came! First, the one with the onbashira and the mirror. Listened not to me, beat me down, beat me, beat me, beat me."
> She sobs quietly.
> "Then the one who walks unseen. Tricked me, spoke as a friend. Then..."
> The spider girl closes all her eyes and shivers.
> "Then the one on the broom. So fast, so strong. Did not even look my way, tossed me aside."

> Soon enough, the spider girl is almost completely covered in the healing goop. She looks almost comical, with just her four pairs of eyes visible, blinking through the thick paste. She looks immensely relieved.
> "Cannot see, cannot see. Feel her passage in the air, feel her scent on the wind, feel her heat on the skin, but cannot see, cannot see. She lies, lies waiting, at the core, at the core, the hellcrow her unwilling slave. Do not know what she wants, what she wants, but she hates, she hates."
