Drake the Pycromancer: Ragecraft 2 Episode 58

  • Published on

Team B.S. starts this one in a wooden house full of traders. Basket opens the General Goods Trader's window first, and one of them has good news: "Angry, rage-y Scoti is gone, at least until we get into an actual level here." The deaths sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 80 and BasketMC 58, one higher for Basket than where the last episode ended.

A quest from Foul-Mouth Joe

Nearby stands a villager tagged Foul-Mouth Joe. One of them reads out the quest: "Last month a gang of reptilian thugs broke into my house and stole my lucky charm." The charm "looks like a little white star," and the reward is "some of these pretty green gems." The thieves are supposedly "hiding in a small cave near the reptilian stronghold." Nobody is sure what counts as a reptile here. "I guess it's zombies or something."

The hidden wall

Then comes the "bad news." By one of their accounts, while setting up thumbnail shots in a creative copy of the map, they spotted a hidden wall back in Brimstone River. "The good news is we saved ourselves hours of confusion." The complaint is that nothing points there: "on the monument it says the next wool is lime wool." They head back toward the lava cavern to check it.

Fire in the cavern

The way on is over platforms above the lava, and the cavern is busy. "There's a creeper spawner right up there." Skeletons are "in the lava and they're still shooting us," and zombies keep "pathing from somewhere." One of them catches fire: "I'm on fire. Can you put water down?" "Get in the water." A moment later: "I'm healing." Basket's inventory later shows Fire Resistance running.

Torches go down around the spawners ("I'm gonna run in and light it up"), and the creepers turn out to be useful. "You can clear out a lot of guys if you let them blow." The odd part is where they come from: "These guys are spawning inside of the clay."

Burning mobs with jack-o'-lantern heads join in, which earns them a name: "fire head guys." Along the way Basket opens a chest with books, golden apples and a potion.

Drake's shop downstairs

Further down they find an anvil, a stack of furnaces, and a villager tagged Drake the Pyromancer. A chest holds a book called "Drake" by heliceo, and a sign reads "Take Drake to the Nexus (one way)." Drake has a story too: "I had to move my shop downstairs because of all the zombies out there. These guys are terrible customers."

Basket checks the furnaces and finds them empty. "You know, for a pyromancer, you ain't got much fire going on, Drake." Then the button doesn't do quite what they hoped. "It didn't teleport me." Basket crafts a new button, and Drake turns up in a stone room lined with bookshelves. "That wasn't set up for multiplayer."

The Magma Blade

Drake's trade window takes zombie flesh for bottles, and bottles plus a sword for a Magma Blade: Sharpness I, Fire Aspect II, Unbreaking I, +6 Attack Damage. "I have lots of zombie flesh."

They end it there, past a pen of mooshrooms, planning to "meet them back there in the next episode." The sidebar closes where it opened, at Scoti_Garbidis 80 and BasketMC 58, with no deaths this episode. The monument isn't shown, so the count stays at 5 of 16 wools and 3 of 16 emerald blocks.
