Spawners first

There's a platform far below with "charge creepers" on it, and somewhere a "gas spawner" keeps sending more. The plan: "We have to go down there, take out those creeper spawners so that we can more readily get the gas spawners." There's no time to stand around looking for it.

They also turn up 16 splash potions, called something like "purification." Nobody trusts them. "It withers you for like 40 seconds." One of them doesn't want to "accidentally splash myself."

Leading the smoke around

The white smoke follows them everywhere, so they take turns leading it off while the other one fights. "I'm leading the smoke monster away a little bit." "There's a charged creeper on the staircase here." Fire keeps popping up in front of them, and at one point it's "Avocado!" and a quick retreat. One of them borrows wood from the other to build a ladder up high and shoot from there.

It works, slowly. "The charge creeper spawner is down." A little later, "Gas spawner down. Gas is dead." Fire protection gets a thank-you along the way. With both sides clear, they run into a building with a glass floor in the middle.

Killed by magic

Inside, the rooms have their own spawners. One of them takes out a creeper spawner and everything around it, "but then the bottle splashed," and that brings blindness and nausea. By then the white smoke has them, and they can't get out of the room. Creepers start "jumping out of the top."

Chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was killed by magic," and the counter goes to 138.

Getting the gear back is messy. One of them ends up on half a heart, stuck in water. "I put my water down to try and escape so I didn't die." The gear ends up "in the corner, just a bunch of stuff in there." They run back in blind, grab it, and run out again.

On the way, one of them grabs an emerald. "I'm gonna put the emerald just in this chest." Then it's a gear swap: new boots, new pants, the smite sword and the good pick.

Up the stairs with ender pearls

They talk about using the emerald right away, then decide to wait. "We'll do it next episode."

Next they go up the stairs. One of them goes up and around, then uses an ender pearl to reach the ledge where the gas spawner was, so there's an escape if something goes wrong. The results are mixed. "I did not get all the spawners in any one area except for the gas spawner." The creeper spawner is gone, but it was one of three by an emerald, and they only got two. "Thank you for that ender pearl, man."

One last run on the second floor finds a spawner for the "sword guys," and one of them calls out "I got the emerald." Then the fire comes in on the stairs, and they call it there.

One death this episode, Scoti's. The counter ends at Scoti 138, Basket 117. No shrine message shows up this time. The monument isn't shown, so the totals carry over: 15 of 16 crystals and 10 of 12 emerald blocks.
