The last episode ended with lava somewhere in the crypt and a shout of "I'm coming," and that's where this one picks up, under the title card. The deaths sidebar reads BasketMC 28 and Scoti_Garbidis 26 once the episode gets going. That Scoti death came at the very end of last time. "We've covered up our little graves," one of them says.
The soul sand room
The new room is floored with soul sand, and it slows everything down. A mob in gold armor stands on a ledge above it, and dropped gear is scattered across the floor. "There's a guy down there," one of them says. "He has a really cool sword in his hand."
Then the room fills up. "Oh, they're spawning in, dude, there's a spawner somewhere." "It's filling up with bad guys, dude, I got no weapon." The death screen reads "BasketMC was slain by Zombie," and a few moments later chat adds "Scoti_Garbidis was slain by Zombie."
Looking back on it, one of them explains what went wrong: "The room is full of slow sand, so I could see everybody slowly pathing, and so it looked like it was fine, then all of a sudden it wasn't."
Starting from nothing
Back at the base it's chests and a crafting grid. "I made a sword and I grabbed some leather pants." The plan for the return trip is to bring wood, "block ourselves in real quick," then "make a chest and just start dumping stuff into the chest." On the run back, one of them finds a small upside: "Good news about dying is I'm starting to learn the way." And the reason to go back at all: "We know that the best stuff in the world is in there."
Zombies in their armor
Down in the room the bad news comes fast. "Oh, they're wearing our armor, that doesn't help." "And they've got our watermelons!" One of them tries to draw the zombies out: "If I can hit these zombies they'll start pathing towards me." Then: "This guy has it. I guess it's nice that he held it for me."
At a chest they sort out what made it: "a tunic, and some booty boots, gold sword, pants, your crafting bench, a bunch of melon," plus "half a stack of arrows." Not everything survived. "I think we lost the iron shovel." A Stone Shovel with Knockback I shows in the chest instead. One of them has "44" torches and hands some over.
The room of pillars
The next room has pillars, and the guess is "there's spawners in each of those pillars." Pale floating mobs and creepers crowd the gaps. The working theory: "a creeper spawner is the right pillar, ghost is the left pillar. Maybe."
The fight goes badly for the gear. "Sword broke." Experience piles up so thick that "I can't see." Someone thought the creepers were cleared and they weren't. "There's so many creepers." Getting through comes second: "we have to get rid of these creepers before we can do that."
Plan B
The last idea is a torch run. "I can drop everything but my torches." The runner will "try and go in and just throw around torches, and then probably die, or at least try to run back." "You want my 15 torches?" The runner also asks for "a couple melon," because "I have to eat one out there." The episode ends on the doorstep: "Just go, dude, you got this."
Two deaths this episode, one each. The sidebar starts at BasketMC 28 and Scoti_Garbidis 26 and ends at BasketMC 29 and Scoti_Garbidis 27. The monument isn't shown, so wools stay at 0 of 16 and emerald blocks at 0 of 16.
