"This may be the final battle against Captain Stinky Pants." The Last Sorcerer is right in the middle of the great library when the episode starts, and the chat is already saying "[Sorcerer] My magic shall rain upon you!" The death counter opens at Scoti 48, Basket 38.
Pain rain
The boss is still in the earth phase, so the mobs have more resistance "and they'll take less of a beating." Every so often the magic rain comes down, and the answer is always the same: run. "I'm doing all the running away."
The usual problems pile up. Poison spiders. A wither guy nobody noticed. Somebody loses the jump boost ("this is terrible"). They're low on blocks too, down to three glowstone. At one point one of them catches fire with no water to put it out: "Boy, that was close." Then something new walks in, a blaze riding a poison spider.
For a while The Last Sorcerer sits way in the back of the room, doing what one of them calls "a spinny dance on a table." Luring it over to the edge doesn't work at first.
Burninated
The boss ends up in the lava and stays there, on fire. "He's getting burninated." The chat has one last thing to say.

If it dropped anything, it went in the lava, and they don't seem to mind. The one regret is the old one: "We need blocks. Same problem we had for the other one."
Pink Crystal
Back at the monument, Scoti sets the Pink Crystal in its slot, and the defeat message comes up. "Good news though. No more sorcerers."
That's 7 of 16 crystals. There's still one job left in the academy, though: "the pig lady."
When Pigs Fly
Hilda is still a pig, waiting in the cell, and they grab carrots on a stick to steer. "It's Hilda, she has lots of hearts." The first problem shows up fast. "Apparently pigs don't do stairs." Plan B is placing stairs the whole way, until Hilda hops up a full block without help and they work out it was the headroom all along.
Scoti does the riding. On one stretch Hilda walks right through the glass on the side and nearly falls "really, really far," and the chat hands out an achievement: "Scoti_Garbidis has just earned the achievement [When Pigs Fly]". Scoti ends up a little lower, but "where we wanted to be." The next time around, Scoti takes "the big roundabout."
Home to Alduini
Hilda makes it to the village, and Alduini is not happy about the pig part.
![Scoti brings Hilda into Alduini's house as chat reads "[Alduini] Oh no! What has he done to you, my love!"](https://www.basketmc.com/images/2528/conversions/scoti-brings-hilda-into-alduinis-house-as-chat-reads-alduini-d0a67023-content-image.webp)
The reward is emeralds. "I got three emeralds. Did you get three?" They wonder whether it doubled. Hilda gets tied up with a lead, and the carrot on a stick goes in the chest.
Then they look ahead to the next area, a dark opening that "looks ominous," and decide to fix up their gear first. The counter closes at Scoti 48, Basket 38. The monument stands at 7 of 16 crystals and 4 of 12 emerald blocks.
