"Welcome back guys. We got everything sorted out." Team B.S. picks up where the last episode left off, in the mushroom village of Little Empire. The deaths sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 42 and BasketMC 33.
Speed, Resistance and nausea
With the inventory open, Basket has Speed and Resistance running down beside it. They are still working out what causes it. "Resistance and speed, and it seems like after a while it gives you nausea or something." The plan is to clear the mobs that built up while they sorted their gear, then head out the back door.
Rooftop spawners
There is work on the rooftops first. "Looks like a creeper spawner on the top of that building." One of them pillars up to take it out while the other covers. More spawners turn up to the side and straight ahead, and they knock them out one at a time. Inside one house a chest holds leather. "Leather's not as good as chainmail, is it?" One of them reads out another find: "The Harvester of Souls, Smite 3, Looting 2."
Down in the well, a chest sits at the edge of the water. "I think that's trapped. Let's open it. Oh, it's an emerald." One of them grabs it, and the other wants it stashed: "Can you put it in this chest here by the hoe right there?" On Basket's screen the sword in hand is named Smite Stick, with Smite II and Unbreaking I.
A checkpoint through the Nexus
Below one of the buildings is a checkpoint teleporter. Chat shows both of them "Teleporting to: The Nexus," then BasketMC "Teleporting to: Intersection 1," a wrong turn that takes some sorting out. "I thought it was gonna bring us to the thing." The fix comes from chat again: "BasketMC Teleporting to: Little Empire," and Scoti follows. The point, in their words: "that way we can run back to that point instead of running to the beginning."
Up the road
Past the checkpoint, the road climbs into the mushroom forest. Spawners sit in the grass along the way, and a creeper comes out of the dark. The spiders are worse. "There's a lot of spiders! And when they're on fire, man, holy moly, it's freaky." The count afterward: "There was two spider spawners there, that's why there were so many." Farther along, by a row of signs, Basket switches to a bow named Marksman's Bow.
The Creeper Head
Near the end they reach a stone house with beds and bookshelves, and one of them suggests calling it after this. Basket opens a chest in the corner. It holds one thing, a Creeper Head. Then: "It's trapped. Maybe. Yep, it's trapped. Run, run, run, run." Chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis blew up," and outside, the path is torn open.
The post-mortem: "You said creeper head, and so I started looking around for creeper." "It didn't make the usual, like, sound." One of them sums it up: "I'm all sad now."
Calling it
One death this episode, Scoti's. The sidebar goes from Scoti_Garbidis 42 and BasketMC 33 at the start to Scoti_Garbidis 43 and BasketMC 33 at the end. The monument doesn't appear, so the totals carry over: wools 0 of 16, emerald blocks 1 of 16.
