Brimstone Labs: Ragecraft 2 Episode 59

  • Published on

Team B.S. is back in the dark red cavern by the lava, and the witches are out before anyone has settled in. "There's a witch here. Oh, she's gone. Oh, there's another witch here." The deaths sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 80 and BasketMC 58, where Episode 58 left it.

A creeper from above

The first scare comes fast. "There's a creeper behind you." Then: "Are you dead? Where are you?" Nobody is, and the sidebar doesn't move. One of them works out the trick afterward: a spawner up high "was gonna drop a creeper in your head so you die."

Down by the lava there is a chest that one of them thinks is not worth the walk across "this little tiny bridge by lava." Meanwhile: "It's an emerald, I got it." Then someone takes a leap. "Wait, wait, wait, what are you jumping into? Oh, there's a little water down there."

Teleport to Brimstone Labs

Chat shows "Teleporting to: The Nexus," then "BasketMC Teleporting to: Brimstone Labs." The new room is all stone brick, glowstone and checkered floor, and a sign on the floor reads "See! You can totally trust me."

"It's story time, Scoti." One of them reads out the warning for the area: "All the witches in this area have their poison effect replaced with a few seconds of wither or slowness. It's still pretty dangerous but not nearly as annoying. It doesn't work perfectly in multiplayer, so be careful." The halls past it are sandstone and glass, with potion paintings on the walls.

Witches, spawners and a chest of potions

The labs live up to the warning. A witch in a purple robe shows up behind the glass, and Basket's screen goes up in flames more than once. "Whoa, I'm on fire again, please put me out." One of them checks the damage: "I just got poisoned and withered."

A chest in a side room holds potions, blaze powder and a pair of Brimstone Boots. The boots read "Blast Protection II," "Fire Protection II" and "Magic Item." A Potion of Protection sits next to them, good for Resistance and Absorption II for 45 seconds each.

One of them suspects the torches aren't helping: "These guys are spawning even if it's lit up, maybe." The answer is the spawners: "Alright, I took out one of the spawners. I can't reach the other one. Alright, I took out the other spawner."

Burnt by an Arsonist

Down a long red-carpet corridor, green-skinned mobs in red and yellow come swinging swords through the glass.

Chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was burnt to a crisp whilst fighting Arsonist," and the sidebar ticks Scoti up to 81. Soon after, chat shows "Scoti_Garbidis Teleporting to: Brimstone Labs." A chest goes down by the wall: "This'll be a nice resupply chest that we can get run back to."

How did I survive?

The last push is the worst. "I'm withered. Oh man, this is real bad. How did I survive?" "Oh, a harming potion's on the stairs." In the scramble a sword goes flying ("I threw my sword"), and one of them calls for cover: "I have panic potion on, can you shoot those guys?" The tally afterward: "two creepers, a skeleton... and a witch." It was close: "You don't know how close I was to dying."

Basket checks a Splash Potion of Healing in the inventory, and the fight goes on in the fire until one of them calls it: "Alright, dude, we're gonna have to call this episode soon."

The sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 80 and BasketMC 58 and closes at 81 and 58, with one death this episode, the Arsonist. The monument isn't shown, so the count stays at 5 of 16 wools and 3 of 16 emerald blocks.
