The Raging Imp got both of them at the end of the last episode, so this one opens with "Operation Get Scoti's Stuff." The gear was on the edge of the lava, and the bar for success is low: "If it's more than three, we'll consider it a huge success." The death counter opens at Scoti 56, Basket 46.
More than three
It's quiet on the way back. There's a short resistance buff, only about a minute and a half, and somebody needs to eat first. Then the pile turns up. "Oh, that's more than three. What a success." A pair of pants survived, and so did the boots, and a good pick.
Food is short, so pork chops get handed over. The little pig mobs start showing up right away. A flash of flame looks like somebody has a flame bow. "No, it's a blaze." It goes down, and one of them mentions an emerald off that way.
Arcane bombs are fun
A fire resistance potion turns out to last about five seconds. "That's all you were worth." Past that is a room with creepers in it and a spawner for the little pigs. Basket has an Arcane Bomb on the hotbar, and it goes into the room.
The floor goes up in flames around the creepers. "They blew up this one, it looks like." The room has gold ore in the walls too, which can be exchanged for "some of those things," but neither of them has an iron pick. There's an imp spawner nearby as well.
The ladder
Last episode they talked about a ladder, and now they finally climb it. Right at the top, opposite the ladder, there are spawners, and the mobs come out fast. "This is a real bad idea." The knockback is "really stupid." What follows is "Operation Running Away," with three rooms full of mobs between the two of them.
An Elder Demon turns up too, diamond sword and all. Someone ends up stuck in a block, someone else is on fire, and one of them gets down to one heart. Still, about six spawners go out along the way. "Rarely does that plan ever work, though, kids."
Furnaces, books and a chimney
They have about a 60% chance of getting regen from a kill, so one of them asks the other to "kill a guy and give me regen." Then they go after the room with the spawner. One of them has lost the good pick, so mining is slow, and the other pick is down to about a third.
This part has minecarts, a bookshelf up top, and furnaces everywhere. Breaking them turns up no coal at all. A helmet has to wait for a later trip. They grab a stack of books and find what looks like a giant oven with cobwebs at the top of its chimney.
The plan is to haul everything back to the beginning and call it there. Nobody died this time. The counter closes at Scoti 56, Basket 46. The monument isn't shown, so it stays at 7 of 16 crystals and 5 of 12 emerald blocks.
