When I woke up, I was surrounded. By webs. Webs. WEBS! Goddammit they totally expanded, didn’t they? Now what? I’m trapped in a giant spider web. Spider Cultist web to be specific… Wait, normally them being cultists would make it worse, but doesn’t it make it better? Because they’re my cultists. Heh. It’s fine. I’m sure they have a way out… What am I kidding? They probably still think I’m a tree. Alright, what way can I get out…? I’m sure there’s still something I can do… Oh yeah! I can teleport!
To my cultists… who are also in the web… Huh, maybe that won’t work… UNLESS I TELL THEM TO GET OUT OF THE WEB! HAHA! I AM A GENIUS!
Alright spiders! I need you guys to leave the web for a bit! Yeah I know it’s not as safe outside the web, it’s just for a bit! JUST DO IT! I swear, why do the spiders lack so much common sense, but are so much less cooperative than my mosquito buddy was, bless his soul. Alright, I think they’re all outside of the web, now to pick a link and…
Oh, that is just as weird as the first time. Alright! Now you can go back in the web you stupid spiders. Looking around, I realized… I was outside the forest… Oh god, how big did they make this web…? I refuse to believe they could expand it this much in a night. There were only, what, 200 of them? Looking around, instead of the barren landscape I had seen before, I was somewhere new… I’m sorry, did they encompass the whole forest…? Oh god. I might’ve caused a problem… Maybe a disaster… Oh well, Elly’s fault! It’s not like there were any people in this forest anyways, hopefully. Other than my ex-cultist… AHEM! There was nobody in the forest. Nobody at all. Yup.
So, I was now inside a nice little plain biome, with purple grass… Whatever, it’s better than red. Yeah, I’ve had enough blood. It’s time for something new!

…What? I DIDN’T EVEN EAT ANYTHING THIS TIME! WHAT JUST TRIED TO POISON ME!?!?!? I looked around, but as you could guess. There was literally nothing but grass, grass, and more grass. Really tall grass… Actually, is it getting taller? I flew there in horror as I realized I could actually see the grass growing at a visible rate. I mean, it wasn’t too quick, only a few millimeters every second, but that was still definitely alarming. It would probably be taller than the trees within a day! I flew away quickly, definitely not wanting to be stuck in suspicious grass that should not be growing so quickly…
But as I flew, the grass kept getting taller around me. Only the grass around me… wait what? I turned around quickly to see, and the grass that I had passed was taller than the rest, if only by a little. The weirdest part was that the grass started actually… ungrowing? When I got away from it. Oh god. This grass totally wants to eat me, doesn’t it!?!??! Uh no! I don’t like this! THERE IS LITERALLY NOWHERE TO GO! I can’t go back to the forest, as it is literally just covered in webs, and there is evil, possibly hungry grass around me, which, as far as I can see, goes on for a very long time. And even if I could outrun it and find an end, then I kinda shirked my responsibilities and left all my spiders alone…
This is hopeless, isn’t it? It’s fine! It’s fine! I’ll just teleport back to the spiders again! They can’t all be somewhere so evil! SPIDERS! Spiders? What just happened!?!?! I CAN’T TALK TO MY SPIDERS ANYMORE! WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?
IS IT THE GRASS!?!?! EVIL GRASS HAS MIND BRIDGE CANCELING POWERS!?!?!? NO NO NO! I’M GOING BACK TO THE WEB!
I spun around in circles frantically, only to see no forest or giant web anywhere in sight. I was trapped, in the midst of a sea of grass. That was growing taller if I stayed near it and was probably poisonous. Oh god. I was actually dead this time. Nobody can defeat plants without fire, and I have no fire!
