Castle Gray Skull: Middle: Ragecraft 2 Episode 20

  • Published on

The episode opens in a scramble. "Oh God dude, I'm coming! There's lava somewhere." Then the title card, and a quick "Welcome back everybody." The deaths sidebar reads Scoti_Garbidis 32 and BasketMC 31. The castle is still a mess of skeletons, and one of them explains the dirt walls thrown down last time to run between them: "there's a whole bunch of openings to like fall and die." The top sections are "pretty safe," but "everything below that is still unsafe on this side."

Over the wall

Torches come first. "All I want is eight pieces of coal so I can make torches." Then it's back to the castle, and its jumps. "I hate hoppy puzzles dude." "I hopped right over the wall yeah down into a giant pit." A moment later the chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was blown up by Creeper," and Scoti's count goes from 32 to 33.

Getting the gear back is a squeeze. "My inventory is too full to grab all your stuff." What makes it back: "three sticks, three pieces of string, a stack of arrows and our last iron sword." One of them sums it up: "I have single-handedly brought us back to where we were almost ten episodes ago."

Stock check

Away from the edge, they take stock. "I got my torches. That's good. I got my potatoes. That's good. I got a bow. I got a couple bows." Basket's inventory still holds the Wooden Stake, with Smite II, Looting II and Unbreaking I. One chest is a letdown. "What a jerk map maker. He just didn't give us anything there."

The plan is to stay high. "There's that spawner that we haven't activated yet. We need to light that up, like, stat." Then "charge the next tower," which will be skeletons, "so you need to do it before they spawn." "Yeah! I'm redeeming myself."

The super chest show

On the roof sits a chest with a torch on each side. "It's exciting! It's the super chest show! 1, 2, 3! Yay!" Among the cobwebs are a Golden Pickaxe and some Leather. "I'll take the arrows." "You want the apples or, what do you want?" "I'll take half."

Then comes the spawner talk. "Basket, I think it's time that you and I have a conversation about all these spawners." "Sure, which ones do we want?" "None of them, because for every spawner we have here, I can get a bunch of torches back." "Oh God, a skeleton just fell from somewhere." One of them has a theory: "it's still dark outside of that tower," so "it was spawning outside."

An emerald and a Gravedigger

The way down is a ladder, and the pickaxe isn't helping. "This wooden pickaxe is terrible." In the room below, a chest opens on Basket's screen. Among the cobwebs and bones is an Emerald. "Let's leave that there." "Yeah, no, I should carry it. There's no way. I'll lose it." The chest closes with the emerald still inside.

That room becomes "a staging ground for the next level." The floor below has "a creeper spawner" in the next room to the left, and then: "Oh, I'm being shot up from down below." "Who's doing the right room, who's doing the left?" A Gravedigger, name tag and all, makes it onto their walkway. "There's actually the stairs right there. It wasn't even a ladder."

A spawner on the walkway ends up stuck full of torches. One of them wants to keep "that one zombie spawner or the vampire spawner." The other isn't sold. "This is very dangerous to keep this." That turns into an argument about how far out a spawner can reach in the dark. "It's like 17 blocks away."

Calling it

"There's one more room over here on this level we need to take out." "There's skeletons in there, at least." "I don't have any torches, so..." The call comes soon after. "I think we're pretty safe right now." A chest is waiting, but it waits for next time. "We'll see what's inside this chest." "Next time, guys."

One death this time: the sidebar starts at Scoti_Garbidis 32 and BasketMC 31 and ends at 33 and 31. The monument isn't shown and no wool is placed, so wools stay at 0 of 16 and emerald blocks at 0 of 16.
