The cleanup of the Breeding Grounds keeps going. The death counter opens at Scoti 35, Basket 31, there's a baby zombie straight away, and another active spawner is somewhere behind them. A chest nearby holds a bunch of armor, some antidote potions and creeper spawn eggs. "That's weird."
Armor hidden from myself
There's a spider spawner in a tree and a building across the way. Scoti finally gets some armor on, after hiding it a little too well: "I had hidden it from myself." The reason given is that Basket "may try and take it."
The building is not friendly. "Holy creeper sauce, Batman." A creeper can't work out how to reach one of them, and then it can. Spiders pile in too, and a reusable weapon is "taking a long time" on them. "I brought some friends. They like to party." Most of the building turns out to be clear except for a spawner on the very first level, so one of them goes in to light it up.
Six, or seven
Up top, the ladder that used to be there is gone, thanks to "my secret Scoti trick." Then the emerald math starts. One of them thinks this gives them six total, and still thinks there might be another one out there somewhere. The other isn't so sure. "We can agree to disagree."
They jump down to block up one of the creeper spawner things, and another creeper spawns in it right away. "This is gonna be fun." Somebody ends up at half a heart. There's a spawner to the left of the stairs and maybe another in the water behind them, and they're still spawning inside the tower.
A conga line on the stairs
Things climb vines here, which explains how they got up there earlier. A squid in the water is "out of control." Then: "There is a conga line of zombies right now coming up and down those stairs," the stairs they haven't climbed yet. A poisonous spider spawner in a tree gets taken out, and one of the houses up the hill is "just full of nasty." Torches go in through the door, and then a retreat.
Inside the house
Basket breaks a spawner inside with a stone pickaxe. A creeper runs around outside. There's a strength and hunger potion in the mix ("I probably should have thrown it at myself"), and healing gets passed around too. A burning mob shows up in the doorway while Basket has the Ferocious Machete out.
After a last spider spawner out back, they decide the area is done and head for the portal.
Counting to six
Back at base, the emerald argument comes back. "There's six in this area. We have six." One of them still feels short by one. The other works through when the last ones were found, back to "right when you destroyed the emerald block." The doubter lets it go: "Let me take your word for it." A large chest at the base holds six emeralds.
The plan is to sort out inventory and meet up "at the top of the pillar thing." No one died. The counter closes at Scoti 35, Basket 31, and the monument is still at 5 of 16 crystals and 2 of 12 emerald blocks.
