"We're gonna find this guy and then we're gonna beat him up." Team B.S. is back in the fenced cave behind Grandmaster Xin's dojo, and the guy is Hong-Jin. The death counter opens at Scoti 28, Basket 16. This area looks smaller than the last one, but it's full of tunnels and little arrow towers where mobs spawn up high and shoot down at them.
Clearing the towers
First job is the spawners. An Assassin spawner on a platform goes down, then another tucked in by the legendary item they still haven't grabbed. A witch and a creeper sit between one of them and the exit, an arrow bounces off a zombie kid and into an Assassin, and a hidden spawner turns up around a column in the middle. One bow is "on the outs," but their chest holds three or four damaged bows to fall back on.
Finding the holes
The plan from last time was to go clockwise and check the holes in the floor. So far they've all been blanks. One sign says "Rudy was here." Another hole is just a hole. While they're at it, one of them shares that wombat poop is shaped like a cube.
Eventually they find the right one, and it's a trap. There are levers by the doors, but they decide they can just break the doors instead. Someone suggests putting water down so they can climb back out. Mobs are already waiting below, and spawners light up the moment they land. "Oh, I activated a bunch."
Both down
Basket goes first. "BasketMC was shot by Assassin," and Basket is back at the bed with nothing. Scoti, left alone down there, holes up in a corner, "which is like the absolute worst thing you can do," and dies too. The counter moves to Scoti 29, Basket 17.
Back at the chest they rebuild from scraps. There's cobble for a stone pick and a sword, some arrows, a little food, and Basket takes feather falling boots that are about to break, just for the armor. Then it's "Operation, get our stuff." They block up the doors behind them and dive back in. One of them breaks two spawners and then runs from a mob in gold armor, a "really mean guy." A skeleton gets Basket a second time, and the counter reads Scoti 29, Basket 18.
Hong-Jin
That bad guy turns out to be Hong-Jin. It ends up trapped below Scoti, who has a good bow back and gives it "the old flame in the face." Down in the pit, Basket pulls wood from the ceiling beams to make a wooden pickaxe and get out. Then the chat reads "You have slain a Mad Sensei." That's two of the three Xin wants dead.
With Hong-Jin gone, Scoti tries an idea from earlier: ender pearl to the far end of the room and break the rest of the spawners, with an apology for doing stuff without Basket. They torch the spawner in the bedrock so nothing comes back, and throw everything they can find into a chest so it won't despawn. A good sword and some armor turn up along the way. They stop there, with the monument still at 3 of 16 crystals and 2 of 12 emerald blocks.
