Fun with TNT: Ragecraft 3 Episode 96

Published on Apr 15, 2016

The keys come first. "We should put the keys someplace safe," so one of them carries them back up the hill, and the chest there turns out to be "just full of garbage." The death counter reads Scoti 65, Basket 53.

Panic mode

Below is a big building they haven't cleared, and going down there will switch on its spawners. The plan is simple: get in, see what happens, and "you yell panic mode, and then we'll run away." A fire resistance potion turns up right away ("I like fire resistance"), then a ghast, then the summoner's chat line: "[Summoner] Rise up, my minions! Kill the intruder!"

Scoti_Garbidis running through a stone room full of smoke and fire, with the red chat line "[Summoner] Rise up, my minions! Kill the intruder!"

Then the chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis fell from a high place," and the counter goes to 66. The spawners weren't all down either. "You didn't take out all the spawners." "I thought I got the important one." There are three in the middle. Some of the dropped gear gets picked up, and the summoner turns out to have a new trick. "Ooh, he summons blazes."

Getting the stuff back

The recovery run goes badly. There's fire everywhere, and the haul is thin: "All I've got's my pants." Basket puts water down so Scoti can jump safely to the lower floor, but Scoti goes first, "knocked off by a little guy," and the chat says "Scoti_Garbidis fell from a high place" again. That's 67. Worse, the water probably pushed the first pile of gear off the edge. "This stuff is so dead." The chestplate is probably gone with it.

The grenadier plan

Rather than go back down, they try to hit the spawners from far away with an arcane bomb from their chest. "You could be a grenadier." It has to land on a floor so it can put down an armor stand, and from up top it keeps falling out of range. Sticks vanish out of an inventory along the way, which they put down to the client and server disagreeing. The bomb verdict: "I proved to be ineffective."

So it's regular TNT instead. One of them gets over the pit, and Basket drops TNT down onto the spawner. On the way, a mob sitting in a cauldron gets killed: "It's bath time for him." Does it take out the spawners? "One of them. Probably not the important one." Then one of them nearly whacks the other by mistake, because crouching hid the name tag. "I was being careful."

The ghast pillar

To finish, they head for a little pillar with a chest on top and a ghast spawner nearby. They grab fire resistance first, then start a bridge ("to nowhere," as one of them puts it). A spawner sits up top. "I got him! I'm so good at this game. Alright, that spawner's gone." Creepers wait on the far side, so they don't push further. There's some loot to split afterward, and they compare gear: one bow has Power IV and Unbreaking III, and there are boots with Protection and some gold.
