On a side note, does time stop when we access the Pip-Boy tattoo?

...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.
Yes, a sane person!

-----

You consider dancing before realising what a stupid idea that is. You check your backpack and note a set of five darts and a short sword. Drawing a dart, you order your allies to begin attack.
Checking the GameHand, you find a little entry on "large wasps":
Code: [Select]
   ____________
 /  LARGE WASP \
 {Monstertype:Vm}
[ MLevel: 1      ]
[ HP: 5          ]
[ MP: 0          ]
[ Attack: 3      ]
 {Defense: 0    }
 \              /
   ------------
Hooray, sounds easy.
As you throw your first dart, you hear a mournful bell clang and feel a sharp pain in your off hand. Somehow, you stabbed yourself with your dart. Ouch.
I'Gix mutters and summons a blast of dark power! The large wasp is killed! Not bad...

Congratulate I'Gix on this marvelous victory and continue forth.

But first, we must summarily loot the corpse. Because that's what you do when you're playing an RPG.

Corpse looted!
Money gained: 8 silver pieces
Items gained: Wasp-Sting, Murky Brown Potion
Wasp-Sting: A dagger crafted from the stinger of a giant wasp. It still holds the venom of the wasp.
Murky Brown Potion: This potion has not been identified yet.


You continue down the road, enjoying the scenery but wondering why the game developers added so much. After 15-20 minutes, dawn begins to break, illuminating a mountain with a squarer peak than most. There is a cave in the front, and as the only path wide enough to get the wagon through is the one leading to the cave you don't have much choice in direction.

When you reach the cave entrance, the rat stops and D'Toh removes the wagon from the rat. I'Gix says, "We have arrived here to Brightores, our new home. Might as well get settled."

What do you do?

DONT DRINK THE POTION
Then wonder why a giant wasp would carry money around
Then unpack the wagon.

Offer companions sip of potion, claiming it to be health.

Go inside cave while they unpack (or die, depending on the potion)to take in surroundings, dagger aloft to guard against nasty cave animals.

Equip the stinger dagger. As leader, we're entitled to the best loot.

Give D'Toh your darts since you don't want to hurt yourself again. Keep the dagger.

ask d'toh if she knows what the potion is, give her said darts, take dagger, guard. ALSO: give a coin to yourself and the barbarian and the rest to d'toh for killing the wasp.

You pass gear to the others and give I'Gix the, uh, magic lion's share of the coin. You then ask I'Gix to identify the potion while D'To unloads the wagon. She identifies it as a potion which can increase one's toughness temporarily. ((Only due to a good roll.))

You and I'Gix grab the rest of the cargo before heading into the cave. Hauling it in (and feeling no more weighted down), you notice a sound coming from within the cave. What do you do?

Place the cargo on the ground, draw your weapon, signal the others to follow you, and investigate.
