Into the Crypt: Ragecraft 2 Episode 8

  • Published on

Team B.S. picks up inside the crypt, right after the last episode went wrong. Scoti's gear was scattered outside, and "we almost had a successful recovery of all the stuff, but then a creeper blew up." The deaths sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 16 and BasketMC 9.

Taking stock

Some things made it. "Remember that cool shovel we used to have?" Then: "Oh, I got the cool shovel still." A chest has leather pants in it, and one of them notes "my cool sword is almost toast."

The situation is grim. "The front door is locked, around the stairs is locked up, the stairs themselves are spawning in crazy amounts of guys that all want to kill us and drink our blood." Going down the main stairwell won't work, so the plan is to dig a side path instead.

A tunnel around the side

The digging goes slowly, and there's no cobblestone to build with. "Really miss cobblestone here, man." A wall meant to hold the mobs back doesn't. "I thought I was being clever, but they apparently have paths."

Scoti takes on the bait job. "I'm drawing them all towards me. Do your thing, Basket, and save the day." Vampires push into the gaps in the tunnel walls. One of them takes out a spawner on that side, and they find a ladder and the Power I bow, but no arrows.

Holding the corner

They fight from a corner and let the mobs come to them. "Good lord, we're gonna chew through our swords pretty fast." They do. Basket's enchanted sword breaks, and the hotbar slot goes back to a wooden one. The way up gets built as a jump puzzle, not a straight path, so the mobs can't follow.

The spawner below

Down the hole there's soul sand, a spawner, and a mob that won't come at them. "Come see the friendly ghost right over here. He's stuck." The skeletons do drop arrows, which makes them think about keeping the spawner. "These guys do make arrows." They light up the room around it with torches, and creepers still show up beyond the light.

The creeper behind the slab

One of them heads off to get the bow. Then chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was blown up by Creeper." The creeper had been on the other side of a half slab, out of sight. "We should have used the regular blocks, I guess. I'm just trying to be economical." "They can see around that stuff."

Getting back in means timing the door, or "all the friendly neighbors" walk in too. It works, barely. The bow lands in Basket's hotbar, along with the gear that was dropped. "I grabbed, uh, I think all your stuff."

Half cobble, half slabs

Back in the room, one of them has a moment over the walls. "This is not cobble, right? All this stuff?" "This is all half cobble, half slabs." Nobody kept track of where the last cut was, so they call it after this room. "I think it's been long enough."

That's one death this episode, Scoti's to the creeper. The sidebar ends at Scoti_Garbidis 17 and BasketMC 9. The monument isn't shown.
