The job is stated in the first line: "So there's the emerald and then there's a wool. Brown wool." The level is a huge cave over dark water, with giant red tentacles coming out of the walls and a wrecked boat in the middle. Then they're being attacked.

Is this the joke level?

The blue mobs in the water turn out to be squids, and they push you around. "Oh, this is the joke level." "Yeah, this could be a joke." The ghasts hang back at first and don't shoot. "That is a little weird." Then someone gets high enough and they start firing. "What a jerk."

Up in the ceiling there's what they call a super spawner, "going crazy." The best guess for the emerald is the bedrock with torches on it, way across the cave, so one of them starts building a bridge. "I'm the best at building bridges. Except the part where I run out of materials to do it."

The room with all the creepers

The torches lead up to more level overhead, the same kind of stuff that's underground. One of them goes in for "a little brief exploration," takes out a spawner, and reports back: "I feel so alone." The other puts water down so there's a way to climb up, and points out the arrow on the back wall pointing to where they are.

Inside it's a sandy cave with tall colored pillars, charged creepers, and one of the mega spawners in the middle. "I just don't trust anything." More creepers keep dropping out of a spot in the ceiling, right where one of them figured there'd be a trap. Once it's blocked off, the drops get checked: books, and sand. "In case you want sand, I guess."

The Soul Slasher

There's a special box in the room. Inside is a sword, and it ends up in Basket's inventory: The Soul Slasher, with Sharpness IV, Knockback II, Fire Aspect II, Looting III and Unbreaking I, part of the Legendary Set. "This isn't the emerald yet."

A secret passage

An opening on the other side leads to stone brick hallways with signs. One says "The Kraken Storm, Em:22" with an arrow, another "Secret Passage," another "Winterbound, Em:1." There's a chest with pickaxes in it, which they decide is a shortcut. "Why would we ever come back? This is a weird spot to be." At least it means they can get back up here to farm the charged creepers for books.

Under the water

That leaves the water, the bottom of the boat, or the clouds. "I'm betting the emerald's underwater." Neither of them can see well down there, and the fire-covered super spawner turns out to be easy to miss. "How did I not see that?" The armor one of them picked up helps them see in the water, and this time it works. "Oh, I found it. We found the emerald." It was in a bright green box. "So it was really obvious when you're in the water."

They head back, and the plan is to put the stuff in the ender chest and pick it up next time.
