Lucky tries to clean as much pollen off himself as he can, and dumps it in a pile, hoping that the bees will leave him alone. Yeah, this could get bad if we're not careful. He reaches into his backpack and finds... some soap. Anyone got any water?
Is there any water around? Like a nice pool he could dip himself in? He begins to contemplate stripping off. Perception22
(OOC: OH LOOK THERE'S A MASSIVE DRAGONSHARD. I managed to miss that in the original description, sorry lol)
Tara stares up at the crystal when she finally stops trying to negotiate the bees, her eyes wide with wonder. "Incredible..." she breathes. "I must document the location of this for Zoe..."
Jax would attempt to quickly look around and identify where the bees are taking the pollen before trying to sneak off into that direction.
Perception! 10 Sneak! 12
You see the next bees that are taking the materials and are all heading into the same tunnel that is centrally located about two stories up. It’s completely dark in the tunnels.

As soon as Lucky begins to wipe off the pollen and expose more of himself. The bees stop rubbing up against him. But then a new bee turns its head and inspecting him. Opening its mandibles begins to emit this shriek that sends all the other bees in a buzzing fury.
The group has one reaction to intercede before shit turns ugly.
Feeling drawn toward the red thrumming pulse of the crystal Squall starts to head towards it her marked arm out stretched. Suddenly the bee’s shriek makes her spin around. Seeing Lucky cleaning the pollen off she reaches her arm toward him and a gust or wind kicks up the pollen he has rubbed of and swirls it around the shifter.
Tara remains rather entranced by the dragonshard, although she looks away from it for long enough to say. "Lucky, I believe the lack of pollen has upset them. That should be...remedied."
(OOC: Jax does have 12 gallons of water if needed because of his alchemy jug) "Do not remove the pollen.. it is better to be food than an enemy.." The warforged would add as the lens on his face begins to pulse once again as he prepares to fight if needed.
Yep, yep, getting that,Lucky says with a slightly high-pitched squeak in his voice as he smears the pollen all over, grabbing it out of the wind surrounding him and just spreading it over every bit of his clothes and body he can find.
With an effort Squall starts walking away from the crystal a into the others. “We should surround Lucky for now. Until we are sure they won’t get more agitated. Did any one see anywhere to go? I’d really like to take a closer look at that crystal but I do t think we have time.”
With a sudden gust of wind to kick up the pollen, Lucky starts to frantically pat himself all over once more. It’s not as thick or cover as much as it once did, but once the group surrounds Lucky to block the view or smell rather.the shrieking stops as the bee smells the air once more before waddling off and the intensity of the swarm dies down.
The tunnel rests upon the other side of the Khyber krystal and will require a climb or other means to find a way in.
"I wish I had gathered more pollen..." Jax would add while looking across to the tunnel. The warforged would quickly reach into his pack and remove a rope, pitons, and hammer. "I suggest we depart quickly before the last of the pollen is worn off of our companion. As he turns to make his way towards the rock face, he would attempt quickly scoop off any pollen he can from one of the nearby insects and smear it on Lucky.
Oww, yeah, no, I deserve that. Thanks, I guess. Lucky sees little choice but to follow where the others lead, staying within the circle they make and just generally trying not to smell of Lucky. Then he has a brainwave. Ooh, smells! I almost never use it for smells, but...He casts Prestidigitation to create the odor of the pollen, a little more strongly around himself. It lasts an hour, and as a cantrip can be recast easily.

Lucky spell rolling how well he can replicate not just the smell but pheromones as well. (Advantage for being covered in it for over and hour can being covered in it): 25
Lucky feels pretty confident that provides you stay within close proximity to him, the group should be okay even with minimal pollen coverage.
Jax is having a hard time with his targeting systems as the bees seem to be communicating constantly at frequencies that aren’t audible but effecting his systems at the moment. He is unable to grab any pollen.
The gang quickly scales the side of the side of the hive. Making short work of the climb without breaking a sweat even though they can feel the heat beginning to you.
The group takes a sigh of relief before you re again accosted be the next waves of bees the embark into the same tunnel carrying supplies. The party is forced to march in the narrow spaces as they wind and twist. You walk into the first intersection where you can step out of the way, the bees continue their path taking a sharp left. The party follows suit as you begin to jog and runs to keep up.
You watch and follow the bees zig and zag throughout the dark maze. They takes a right and descend quickly around a corner, you follow and slide down. Your feet grazing against the mud-wax ground before Jax’s metallic toes hang over an edge. Again you’re 30-40 feet up in the air looking into a cavernous room. The walls spotted with much fewer holes and tunnel leading in. You watch as the bees fly over and drop off the goods to the center of the chamber. Another Khyber crystal sits inside, much smaller, but still several feet high as it radiates an orange glow to the surround area. They fly away through a tunnel on the right. From the dark shadows you see to long needle like claws extend and reach for what was dropped off.
Quickly followed the rest of the body comes into view. Large fur covered insect body, red giant eyes and tendrils poking out over her head. As they tickle and feel to smell the air. Large inflated abdomen as a white sac hangs underneath it. A large stinger curls up and down as she begins to devour what remains. You can hear the tapping of the legs on the ground. The crunch between the mandibles with each bite. The smell is pungent in the air as the concentration of pollen is thick. Silk webbing lines the ground and walls. Sacs are strung from the ceiling hanging down near the floor.
"Are we required to bring back the sack attached to the queen... or will any of these sacks suffice." Jax would say calmly as his lens begins to pulse rapidly upon seeing the enemy.

Also there is no water.
Lucky smears the pollen back onto himself, covering as much as he can as quickly as he can.

Virnen will stay silent but will step ever so slightly closer to Lucky.

How does the group plan to manage the climb without exposing Lucky?

Jax would begin to set an anchor and start climbing towards the tunnel after tying his rope off.

Squall watches Jax as he climbs the wall.
(If any one falls during the climb I will cast Feather Falling on them.)

Jax - 14
Lucky - 10
