Slow and Steady: Ragecraft 2 Episode 81

  • Published on

Team B.S. is still in the Reptilian Stronghold, still after the gray wool, and still sorting out gear from the fire two episodes back. The title card reads "Episode 81, Slow and Steady," and the deaths sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 106 and BasketMC 82.

Bows and a bad room

The first question is about the lava bucket ("it's proven to be very useful"), and nobody has it. There's "a floor below us," and the plan is to "get all the guys that are filled up" before going in. Some of Basket's gear has been recovered, and one of them offers the other "a good sword" and "a bunch of armor."

Bows are short. "I don't have a bow, I gotta get a bow." "I gotta go up on our ledge and get myself a bow." Then: "there's a bow, power 2 and power 2, who would have thunk it," though with "not many arrows."

The idea is to "kill a couple creepers and run in and then deal with the silverfish." It doesn't go to plan. Chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was slain by Reptilian Warrior," and someone notes the new number: "Wow, 107."

Runcraft

Boxing in a spawner with blocks "was proving slow and very daunting." One of them says that for a couple of weeks their videos have been mostly running back to the other: "I think I'm gonna turn to the series is now called run craft." Maybe they should "abandon this area," since "we've spawned too much stuff."

They keep at it. One of them remembers "a little hobbit-y hole over here" with "a bow in here" and "a stack of arrows," and the food situation comes down to "zombie flesh it is." The plan is to block off a doorway for "a foothold into this room," and then "I killed the spawner out there." The hallway gets lit up. Then a warning: "There's something behind the painting to the left," and "they're just pouring out from behind." Another spawner goes the same way: "charge it and torch it," then "broken, cool."

The Berserker

A Reptilian Berserker, a creeper-faced mob with an axe, comes at Basket in a vine-covered room. A Rage Creeper is close behind. Scoti fights alongside with a sword while mobs burn on the green carpet.

Then: "Poisonous spiders comin' in behind ya!" "I'm backin' up." "I was tryin' to block up." And one plea along the way: "please don't splash potion anymore."

Into the lit room

There's "a carpet that's lit up over there." "I'm gonna run in." "Holy cow." "Bunch of guys." Basket swings the Inquisitor's Sword at burning creeper-faced mobs in the flames, a Berserker among them, and chat reads "BasketMC was slain by Reptilian Berserker." That makes 83.

"Is my stuff right there or no?" "Yep, I'm making a double chest," and it "looks like a lot of your gear survived." Along the way one of them learns the other "had two magic bows this whole time."

The long way back

Basket respawns, teleports to Intersection 2, and heads back through the jungle and behind a waterfall. While Basket is still on the way, chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was slain by Reptilian Commander," and the count goes to 108. "I left because it was pretty dead in the hallway. Now it's really dead in the hallway." Then comes "Scoti_Garbidis Teleporting to: Intersection 2," and it's time to stop: "it's a long episode, we gotta end it."

The sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 106 and BasketMC 82 and closes at 108 and 83: two deaths for Scoti, one for Basket. Nothing plays after the credits. The monument isn't shown, so wools stay at 7 of 16 and emerald blocks at 4 of 16.
