Wool or Bust: Ragecraft 2 Episode 85

  • Published on

The title card reads "Wool or Bust," and the deaths sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 111 and BasketMC 83. Team B.S. is deep in the Reptilian Stronghold, down where the last episode left off, with vines on every wall and something shooting from the dark.

Spiders and a ladder

It starts badly. "Whoa, skeleton on the left. Poison spiders over here." One of them finds "a ladder going down," and then, "Oh, I'm getting shot to pieces." Another gets poisoned in a spot that should have been safe: "I got hit by a poison spider up in this thing that I dirt pillared up into."

They go down the ladder anyway. "I want you to come down here and look at this horribleness." The room below is big, full of cobwebs and spawners. One by one they come down: "Skelly spawner down," then a spider spawner "to the left." One of them needs the water bucket on the way: "Sorry, I had to water bucket me. I was on fire."

The wool room

Past the webs is a glass room with a single chest sitting on glowstone. "I'm in here, man! I got the wool and there's a book." Basket opens the chest, and the tooltip reads "Gray Wool, Area: Reptilian Stronghold."

"Is it story time?" It is, but not yet. The episode signs off as a tease, then picks right back up with "welcome back." The book is read out loud: "Have you found the enchantment table? It's somewhere in this stronghold." The reply: "Yeah, we have."

The run home

Then it's a race to get out. On the way they pick through chests. "As we pass by a chest, we should grab like emeralds and stuff." One of them is counting: "I have one emerald. If we find one more emerald along the way," that could be enough to turn in. In a side room, "there's an emerald in here, dude." "I grabbed it." "Then let's get the H out of here, right now."

Pants or a sword

At the monument, Basket holds an emerald block and they make guesses about the reward. One says "armored pants," the other says "sword." Basket slots the block in and opens the chest. "Oh, pants!" The tooltip reads "Mechanical Legs" with Protection II, Projectile Protection II, Unbreaking I, +0.5 Knockback Resistance and +8% Speed. A sign beside that chest reads "Emerald Block #6."

Gray wool, placed

"I'm gonna let you do the wool here," one of them offers. Basket puts it in, and chat reads "BasketMC and Scoti_Garbidis Gray Wool has been placed. Area defeated: Reptilian Stronghold." "Dance party." Then a count: "Eight wools, man!"

There's still a loose end: "We gotta do that stupid mission for foul-mouthed Joe!" And the next target: "Next one is the light gray wool."

Back at the monument, Basket goes through the inventory. Spell: Fury (Level 2) is in there, with Sharpness IV, Fire Aspect II, Knockback I, "-20% Max Health" and "+30% Speed," next to an Ancient Runeblade (Sharpness III) and Seraph's Avenger (Smite V, Knockback I, Unbreaking III).

The sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 111 and BasketMC 83 and closes at 111 and 83: no deaths for either of them. Nothing plays after the credits. Chat confirms the gray wool placed, and Basket places one emerald block.
