Flame Trap: Ragecraft 3 Episode 38

"We're back in Master Xin's area. Hong-Jin is dead." Both of them have armor on again, and the counter opens at Scoti 29, Basket 18. One of them is still carrying a gold sword that's about done for.

The final countdown

Up past a super jump there's a sign: "This door will open once you have slain all three mad senseis." So this is the last place they need to be. "I'm gonna die, for sure."

The area is packed. People shoot from every angle, a whole line of zombies comes over, and one of them keeps knocking zombies off the edge. One of them finds a little secret room with an emerald in it but leaves it, because there are bad guys with bows inside. There's a Resistance shrine up here too. One of them builds a path to get around, and it turns out to be a path for the mobs too. "I made a path for them all to get over here." The fix is a jumpy puzzle they can't just walk across.

Basket meets a creeper

They head up a staircase and through a doorway into a stone corridor lined with signs. A chest there is "probably trapped," and it isn't. The creeper coming down the hall is the real problem.

Basket's chat reads "BasketMC was blown up by Creeper," and the counter goes to 19. Scoti blocks up the area, puts down a chest and throws Basket's stuff in it. "Hey Basket, Scoti's got your back now." Basket makes the walk back from the respawn point, and they sort out whose stuff is whose.

Well done

One of the signs is about Dragon Fist, Wu-Zheng. As a little boy, Wu-Zheng watched the family die after a rival family set fire to their house, and soon developed a morbid fascination with fire. Other warriors dream about the blood of their foes. "Wu-Zheng likes his enemies... well done." The takeaway is practical: fire protection could be important.

Before going after Wu-Zheng, they want supplies, and they spot a legendary weapon that could help. Getting to it is mostly parkour, with a creeper spawner right next to it that they don't want to set off. One of them misses a jump on the way and lives.

A long way down

Scoti doesn't. The chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis fell from a high place," and the counter goes to 30.

Finding the gear is its own job. Some of it landed on the shrine, some went farther down, and Scoti says it sprayed over three different levels. A good bow may be gone.

Flame Trap

While that gets sorted, a Flame Trap shows up in Basket's inventory. It works like the Frost Trap from the start of the map, only with fire instead of Slowness and Wither: throw it, and mobs near the spot where it lands are set on fire for a minute. It has infinite uses and isn't used up when thrown.

The gear turns up, mostly. "I've got everything I need, I guess," minus the torches, and they call it there. The counter ends at Scoti 30, Basket 19. Nothing was placed on the monument, so it sits at 3 of 16 crystals and 2 of 12 emerald blocks.
