Shrine of the Moon: Ragecraft 2 Episode 17

  • Published on

The White Wool is in hand, and the big question from last time hasn't gone away. "Where do we take it, right?" The emerald count comes up too: "We have five emeralds right now," with a "sneaking suspicion" that one got lost early on. The deaths sidebar opens at BasketMC 30 and Scoti_Garbidis 28. This time the target sits between the base and the crypt: "a big dark area, full of nasties."

Grave robbing

It's a graveyard, and the graves have chests in them. The first large chest is mostly cobwebs and bones, plus bread and "an efficiency pick." Off to one side is "a gigantic deep pit of nasty with cobble in it." The mobs keep finding a way over the low walls, so the job turns into patching gaps as fast as they show up. "They can hop right there. And right there."

A building in the middle gets broken into through the side rather than the door. "There's a pitfall right inside the door." One chest holds a Bow of a Fallen Archer with Power I. "That's totally yours." "Okay. I'll take the next really good bow."

Another grave turns up an emerald, and something jumps out right after. A chest goes down out in the open as a waypoint, and the emerald goes in it.

Real stone

Spawners sit on both sides of a doorway, and the sniping starts. "I'm being shot, sniper." Then the signs get read out. "The sign says, 'Real stone?'" There's cobble everywhere. "So much cobble, what will we do?" A crafting table comes out and a stone pickaxe gets made. "Congratulations to me."

The shrine

Behind the next door is a small room with skulls on an altar and signs on the wall. They read: "Praying on this shrine will turn you into a bloodthirsty and powerful beast for a few minutes, but forces you to rest afterwards." The initial buffs are "Strength I, Speed I, Resistance II, Haste III, Saturation I." The "hangover" is "Weakness IV, Slowness III, Hunger III." The last sign says it "can only be used once."

"Well, we'll just leave this." "This is the shrine, shrine of the moon." They leave it as it is. The cobble goes into the waypoint chest instead.

Close calls and magic hats

The next stretch has a creeper in it. "Oh god, I'm hurt bad." "One and a half hearts, that was kinda scary." The wood pile pays for it: "We lost all but one block of wood." Another graveyard is worse. "It's down to half a heart." "Heal up, dude, I'm holding them back." Both pull through, and the sidebar doesn't move.

The chests make up for it. A large chest holds a Thornmail Helmet with Thorns II and Unbreaking I, and an enchanted helmet ends up in Basket's armor slot. "Look at me. I'm all spangly." The next chest has a Cap of a Fallen Warrior and a Jagged Blade. "I took the cool sword."

Into the tower

The plan for the tower is to skip the front door. "We may consider not taking the direct approach," and pillar up the outside instead. The roof gets cleared and lit, and its chest gives up potions, an Antidote and a chestplate. Below is a ladder, a spawner, and a room with "a chest right next to the creeper spawner." The spawner gets ringed in torches, with the chest right behind it.

"I think this is the end of an episode." No deaths this time: the sidebar starts and ends at BasketMC 30 and Scoti_Garbidis 28. The White Wool still hasn't been placed and the monument isn't shown, so wools stay at 0 of 16 and emerald blocks at 0 of 16.
