Scoti opens with an update on gear. "Basket's a good dude. He gave me iron. I made a helmet." Then it's down into a cave of sandstone islands, lava and fire, where the first count of the day is "zero emeralds so far." The death counter reads Scoti 61, Basket 51, and it doesn't move all episode.
Into the lava, and back out
There's a ghast spawner down below (the audio says "gas," the ghast tears later say otherwise) and maybe a blaze spawner too. "I'm going after it." Basket swings the Volcanoblade at a spawner while the chat repeats "[Summoner] Rise up, my minions! Kill the intruder!" and a few seconds later Basket's screen is orange. Basket is in the lava.
The fall doesn't kill. "I can't believe I'm alive." The other one had paused "just to see your death message" and pictured a cartoon fall ending in "a little puff of smoke." The explanation offered is a fresh enchant: fire protection on the chainmail pants.
Charged creepers in the gold
Charged creepers keep turning up, and nobody can tell from where. "I found the charged creepers. They're spawning right there. They have a little hidey hole next to the gold down here." Later the trick gets clearer: creeper spawners sit inside holes with vines, and the creepers "go up the vines and they kill you." One of them can't kill a witch that seems to have thorns. The water bucket goes missing for a moment ("he took out my water, what a jerk!") until it turns out it was never gone.
They split up to clear the level faster, one at the bottom and one higher up. The spawners from before were not all dead after all. "Only one of them was dead." Basket spends a lot of the middle stretch pouring water over lava and mining gold ore off the islands.
The trapped chest
A chest "with traps of some sort" gets opened, with a little help: "Thanks creeper for making it easier." The loot goes by out loud: an iron pickaxe, pumpkin pie, vines, a Fire Protection book, a Protection III helmet ("that's a magic helmet"), Protection II boots, some gold, two ghast tears, and then "Brimstone. Wait, this is the thing we need." That's one of the three items for the health quest from the intersection. Whoever found it decides to leave it until they're out of the area.
Up the tower
The level is a tangle of platforms, ladders and "a staircase of death the whole way down." A fast blazing creeper sits above a door, skeletons keep knocking one of them off a platform, and there's a basic training dummy and what might be a turret by an obsidian block. One of them has buried a set of creeper spawners and walks past a pile of trapped creepers taking damage. "When mobs are by me, they take damage."
The plan at the end is to meet in the middle of the main keep, "a giant tower of death and evil and horribleness that only a friend can complete with a friend." It doesn't quite come together. "Where are you right now?" "I'm on a ledge. It's on fire." They stop there. The counter closes where it opened, at Scoti 61, Basket 51. The monument isn't shown, so it stays at 9 of 16 crystals and 6 of 12 emerald blocks.
