Boxborg's Webquest [Textastic]

To truly become a real, living being, you must learn the power of forgiveness! Forgive your master in your heart.

...Or whatever is in the box comprising your chest.

You’re not really angry, you guess. You think you lack the capacity for anger. But your creator simply did not care about you, and you deserve better than that, right?
Also you mostly have plates, bowls, and other such things in your chest cavity.

> Let's find something to light our way first- look around the Hills.

Otherwise, you're likely to be eaten by a grue.

That’s a good idea! Being eaten by a grue sounds particularly cruel, considering whose fault it would be, wandering into caves without a torch or a match in your inventory. You silly.

>Meet a similar robot to yourself, also made of cardboard.

You wander around the hills for a time, looking for anything that might give you some light.
Cresting a hill you find… could it be!? More cardboard robots!? You run as fast as your legs can carry you (not very fast) towards them, your various contents rattling and clanging around inside your body… but you’re disappointed. These aren’t cardboard automatons like you… these are just humans wearing cardboard boxes.
You ask what they’re doing.

One of them replies, “We’re Gundams, obviously.”

You don’t know what that means! But you don’t think you’re going to stick around. Some of them are eying your chassis in a suspiciously predatory fashion. You don’t want to end up as somebody’s costume, so you retreat.
...
Wait, what’s that? There seems to be a light shining from the other side of that hill…
You climb the hill and look down, to see what looks like a floating wolf’s head. Light emanates from behind it. You hesitate, unsure whether or not to get any closer.
It sees you, and barks, “APPROACH AND SEEK MY WISDOM!”

Well, okay.
You do that. He listens intently (creepily so) as you explain your predicament. He nods once. “IGNORE FEAR! GRUES ARE LIKELY TO BE EATEN BY YOU!”
Okay…

To the Cave! There's always candy in caves, right? You're pretty sure there's always candy in caves. I mean, where else would they keep it?

You assume that means you should go back to the cave and enter regardless of any lurking grues? You set off, and are somewhat surprised to find the wolf still following you.

You finally find yourself back at the cave. You look at the wolf uncertainly.
“A COWARD’S ONLY ENEMY IS HIMSELF!”

You really wish he’d stop yelling. You enter the cave, with the wolf hot on your heels… er, if you had heels. The wolf’s light pushes back the darkness! However, the floor of the cave is still solid back.
At the back of the chamber, an old man sits between two braziers. When he catches sight of you, his eyes light up, and he hops to his feet.

“It’s dangerous to go alone!” He shouts, reverently holding out a sword, “Take this!”

“WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? TAKE SWORD, SLAY FOES!”
Okay that’s getting annoying. Also, you’re beginning to think that there isn’t any candy in these hills at all. You take the sword, somehow, despite your lack of hands or any opposable digits. Your grip isn’t the best, but you guess you’ll manage.
So now you're armed, you have a follower, and still you don't have any candy, nor do you have any better idea where to find the Googley-Eye Popsicle. Hmm... what to do, what to do?
