Correct Answer is 8.

Leads to 1087 whose only answer is 1. Ick. That's troublesome.

Option 1 removes 6 fizzing spore pods from inventory.

The container document is now reached through:
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave

Boss Location:
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave&action=nmcave_boss

It's just the same boss that we're used to, so nothing new here.

Correct choice for 1087 was option 8. According to the forums, not all options show up if you lack certain skills.

r16210 adds quest tracking.

Note, this increases questG04Nemesis steps 10 and above by 7 (so step10 becomes step17, and so on), as there are more quest steps.

On a whim, even though I am overdrunk, I went into the cave.

> choice

choice 1: Sing the Moxious Madrigal at the wall.
choice 2: Play a dissonant riff at the wall.
choice 3: Play the Magical Mojomuscular Melody at the wall.
choice 4: Unleash your accordion's unique inner strength at the wall.
choice 5: Play Cletus's Canticle of Celerity at the wall.
choice 6: Use the Crab Claw technique at the wall, somehow.
choice 7: Play the Power Ballad of the Arrowsmith at the wall.
choice 8: Bash the wall with your accordion.
choice 9: Play the Polka of Plenty at the wall.
choice 10: Appreciate your accordion.
choice 11: Shrug your shoulders and leave.
I'm just going to leave, for now, but, hot damn - that's quite a choice adventure!

You can't think of anything that might convince the wall to open. With a shrug, you turn and head back out of the cave. Maybe the guy back at the guild will have some useful insight. I mean, you never know, right?

"The cave is sealed?" Stradella asks. "Hmm."

"Yeah," you say. "There's an engraving that looks sort of like a primitive accordion."

"And you already tried playing your accordion at it, yeah?"

"Yep. Oldest songs I could think of."

"Well, that's me stumped," she says. "Try thinking outside the box, I guess? But keep it simple?"

"Great, thanks a lot," you say. "That's real helpful."

"Hey kid, you know me. Always eager to please."
"Think outside the box", eh? Is it a coincidence that an accordion is a "squeezebox"? :)

P.S. Yes, I know, not that I looked until just now, that Bale was an AT when he started this thread. So now I know the correct answer without even trying.

Just as we did for the Grave of the Unknown Your Class Here, we need to collect the correct answers so we can make that one the default (i.e. highlighted) option when you see this choice as Class X.

Well ... we could log the nemesis cave a little bit better.

Code:
place.php?whichplace=mountains&action=mts_caveblocked
Encounter: The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance
Took choice 1087/8: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1087&option=8
Encounter: The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance
Took choice 1087/1: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1087&option=1
place.php?whichplace=mountains&action=mts_caveblocked
-> visiting the (blocked) cave. Something PlaceRequest.php would log.

Encounter: The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance
Took choice 1087/8: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1087&option=8
-> Taking my class (AT) specific choice. Why was it "unknown"? At least it could have been the text on the choice button..
(That might be a general comment about logging choices for which we have no spoilers.)

Encounter: The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance
Took choice 1087/1: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1087&option=1
Having made the correct choice, I get the same choice, but now option 1 is the only one available.

Code:
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave&action=nmcave_rubble
Encounter: Rubble, Rubble, Toil and Trouble
Took choice 1088/1: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1088&option=1
Clicking on the rubble with no fizzy pods or whatever. Option 1 was the only available one.

I collected the fizzy pods and then clicked on it without leaving the cave. A pity; I wonder if coming from the mountains would have been "place.php?whichplace=mountains&action=mts_cave" or something, rather than action-mts_caveblocked?

Code:
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave&action=nmcave_rubble
Encounter: Rubble, Rubble, Toil and Trouble
Took choice 1088/1: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1088&option=1
clicking on it when I had the pods. Now choice 1 uses them and I can pass.
I assume KoL removes them from inventory - but KoLmafia did not.

Code:
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave&action=nmcave_boss
Encounter: Somerset Lopez, Dread Mariachi
Going to fight the boss.

And now the cave is replaced with a link to adventure in The Fungal Nethers.

In any case, this is certainly usable, but the logging could stand some improvement.

Code:
pace.php?whichplace=mountains&action=mts_caveblocked
This is only a thing when you have not yet done the class-specific action to be able to enter the cave. Having done that, if you approach from the mountains, you get:

Code:
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave
with no "action"

Revision 16266 logs choice options with the text that KoL shows you, if we don't have a spoiler. Thus:

Code:
Encounter: The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance
Took choice 1087/3: Entangle the wall with noodles.
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1087&option=3
Encounter: The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance
Took choice 1087/1: Enter the doorway.
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1087&option=1
And revision 16267 attempts to log the following place.php things better:

place.php?whichplace=mountains&action=mts_caveblocked
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave&action=nmcave_rubble
place.php?whichplace=nemesiscave&action=nmcave_boss

although I have not tested all of them in action yet.
