[My Name is Immaterial]

Say "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A"

Or dance it out.

[GreatWyrmGold]

You dance. Nothing happens.

You head into the communal sleeping area, lie down, go to sleep, and wake up, refreshed.

Returning to the room, you see everything pretty much exactly as it was. Over to one side and drawing your eyes are a pair of kobolds and a wagon full of supplies, drawn by a single, very large rat.

What do you do?

[Kazymir]

Saddle the rat and head out for ADVENTURE. The chief has put you in charge, now it's time to lord it over the pathetic peons under you!

[Geen]

Dance!

[Vorthon]

Train the rat to dance, go on to become a famous duo on the vaudeville circuit.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Saddle the rat and head out for ADVENTURE.

This.

[GreatWyrmGold]

After a brief attempt to dance and teach the rat to do so, which predictably fails, you jump on the back of the rat and ride off. After four or six minutes of navigating through tunnels and listening to idle chatter, you emerge into a moonlit valley, with a winding road leading to your site, massive cliffs, and a bunch of glowing, owl-shaped...owls, probably. It's a long ride, but you learn more about the two kobolds with you.
There's a warlock named I'Gix, about a decade your junior. She's mysterious, but hints that she didn't choose to go along. Also present is a barbarian named D'Toh, perhaps a few years younger than I'Gix and known for his bad temper. Nice pair.

After about fifteen minutes of hard riding, you leave the valley and start riding another scenic road alongside a cliff. Lovely. However, a new glowing suddenly appears a few hundred feet away. It approaches. From the looks of it, it's a wasp a bit bigger than you and approaching fast!
What do you do?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Wasps are like bees, right? And Bees dance to communicate, right? I think you can put two and two together.

[Vorthon]

...YES. DANCE OUT A PEACE TREATY.

[GreatWyrmGold]

...
Wasps don't communicate via dance, for a start.

[Vorthon]

TRY ANYWAYS!

[Kazymir]

...YES. DANCE OUT A PEACE TREATY.

This is the worst idea I've ever heard. Wasps only exist because god has a warped sense of humor and thinks that laying eggs in a spider so the larva have a food source for when they hatch is hilarious. In short; Kill it, kill it, kill it! Use whatever weapon we have, and if we were stupid enough to not take one, order our underlings to die so that we may live apply some murder to it's stupid wasp face.

This.

[Teneb]

Order underlings to get into battle positions and detach cart from rat. Then ride it to battle.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Either:
A. Do a rain dance,
Or
B. In more seriousness, Poke our wrist to see if there is a Codex with an entry on giant glowing wasps.
