BasketMC

Reptilian Hatchlings: Ragecraft 3 Episode 46

  • Published on

Team B.S. is still deep in the Breeding Grounds, hunting the Yellow Crystal, and the death counter opens at Scoti 34, Basket 28. There's an emerald nearby, and one of them wants to take out a guardian spawner first. It doesn't go to plan.

Blown up in the first minute

About a minute in, a creeper catches Basket by the water. The death screen reads "BasketMC was blown up by Bluescale Creeper," and Basket goes to 29. The respawn is a long way off. "I'm all the way back."

Scoti goes looking for the dropped gear and finds a lot of it. "Oh, you had so much junk, dude." Potions, mostly. Scoti scoops up what can be reached, dumps it into a chest, and Basket makes the walk back to sort it out. In the pile are Broken Reptilian Scales (Feet) and a Ferocious Machete with Sharpness I, Fire Aspect I and Knockback I, plus a speed bonus.

The room with the sky spawner

The next room has a green floor and waterfalls down the walls, with baby zombies on the left and a creeper on the right. More creepers keep showing up in the water, and a name tag gives the type away as Bluescale Creepers. It takes a while to find the source: "There's a creeper spawner up in the sky with vines that they come down from." One of them turns it into a rhyme on the spot. "Creeper spawner in the sky, it'll blow you twice as high."

The floor is full of silverfish too, and the fight turns into a mess. A Fire Aspect blade in a crowded room means a teammate catches fire. "You put me on fire!" "Stop swinging where I am!" "There's bad guys there, I gotta swing." "I'm not a bad guy!" Somebody calls it the Three Stooges. They try to block off one side, since they're getting hit from both, and fall back to the water, which heals them and gives them Strength too.

The hatchlings

A creeper spawns right out of a wall. One of them runs off for the water buff and comes back "bringing friends." Around the same time somebody finds an emerald. Then the small gray swarm piles onto Basket, and the chat reads "BasketMC was slain by Reptilian Hatchling." That's 30 for Basket. Scoti stays at 34 for the whole episode.

Armed with a bed

Basket runs back through the jungle carrying nothing but a bed and meets a Reptilian Elder on the way. A bed is not much of a weapon. "This takes a long time to kill a guy with a bed." It works out in the end. "Okay, he dead."

Scoti has been gathering Basket's things again. "I have almost all your stuff." There's another emerald, but it's surrounded by bad guys. "I'm not gonna be able to survive getting it." Basket puts the bed down in the water room, and the water finally makes sense to everyone. "I like this water buff. Now I understand a little better."

A cookie in a trap

With the bed set, they start clearing the side rooms. There are boots, a few good bows with Flame and Power, and a redstone clock ticking somewhere behind the emerald. One chest sits in a trap and holds a cookie. "He knew we were gonna come back here and look at his stuff, so he put a chest with a cookie in it." A sticky piston turns up too.

Spawners keep getting lit up or broken. At one point they build their own floor on top of the real one. A creeper finds a way around the walls, and that gets a "Nature finds a way!" A skeleton gives them one more scare ("We're so dead"), and then one of them goes after the last spawner in sight and they call it there.

No crystals or emerald blocks were placed this episode, so the counts stay at 4 of 16 crystals and 2 of 12 emerald blocks.
