We build somewhere to actually keep our things, put the first wool of the run on the board, and work out that losing Emerald 1 last episode cost us more than one emerald.
A room to sleep in, at last
First order of business is a bed and four walls. Basket carves out a little safe room, which Scoti immediately christens a sleepy time room, and it is the first thing in this map that resembles a base.
It also prompts the obvious admission. This is where the emeralds should have been kept. Basket's defense is that we did not have a base yet, which is true and does not help. Scoti's observation, delivered lightly, is that he always worries about this sort of thing and always ends up being right.
Nobody likes baby zombies
A shared position, firmly held by both hosts: baby zombies are the worst thing in this game. They are fast, they are small, they fit through gaps, and one of them nearly ends Basket about ninety seconds in.
There is also a hole that Basket declares nothing is ever to be put down, which given last episode is a fair rule to introduce.
The emerald wall, and the bad news
We find the display the emeralds are meant to go into. It is color coded by area, with a numbered pane for each of the fifty-four, and a sign explaining the job: replace the pane with the emerald that has the same number.
Which is when it lands properly. Emerald 1 is at the bottom of a lava flow. Whatever reward waits for a complete set is now permanently out of reach, because the set can never be completed.
They talk it through and decide to collect them anyway. The wall will just have one gap in it forever.
Pink wool
The actual objective finally shows up: fireworks and pink wool, sitting together. Basket takes the fireworks, Scoti takes a pink wool, and there is a brief argument about why anyone needs two of the same wool.
Scoti also notes, cheerfully, that he has been ill for the last few episodes and agreeing with everything, and now that he is better he intends to stop listening entirely.
Everything goes into the top single chest at the midway point, per the new policy. Then a run back for the wool, a small celebration, and out.
