Day four of the Hostile Mob Museum, Michael Deering's April 2015 Minecraft Hardcore Challenge. The team is out to catch hostile mobs and cage them at a base. Basket starts in the rain on bare gray hills with Scoti_Garbidis, both in iron armor, right where the last day ended.
An empty chest
The two of them dig a narrow shaft straight down through the stone, Basket placing torches on the way. The shaft opens into a small dungeon with a mossy floor, a spawner with torches on top, and a chest. Scoti_Garbidis gets to the chest first. When Basket opens it, it's empty. "Bucket, name tag, saddle." Name tags matter this month, and the chat does the math: Scoti_Garbidis types "only two nametags in two spawners," then "two nametags total." Sayulily answers "Woot!"
Lava in the rain
Back on the surface, a lava fall pours down the cliff into a pool. "If we find lava on the way, we should obsidian it." Scoti_Garbidis stands at the foot of it while Basket holds a water bucket. In chat, Scoti_Garbidis asks the others "do you guys need the tags?" and Sayulily writes back "Not yet, we still have one."
Spiders at the spawner
The next spawner is a long walk over green hills and then a long dig. Basket cuts a spiral staircase down into the rock. "Oh, Silverfish!" Then the tunnel reaches a mossy room with a spawner in it. "It's spider spawner." Spiders come at Basket, and the stone sword keeps them off, at the cost of a little health. Torches go down around the spawner. There's no chest this time, and Scoti_Garbidis reports it in chat: "no chest at the last spawner."
The chat brings news from the rest of the team. Max_Writer: "We have captured a zombie." Scoti_Garbidis: "cool, with an item?" Max_Writer: "Trying to get a villager zombie who'll hold something now." It all happens off Basket's screen.
The walk home
"I just used all of our wood to make ladders." It's night by the time they climb out. Basket sets down a crafting table on a hillside full of sheep and turns wheat into bread. Then it's across snowy ridges in the dark, where Basket pours water down a cobblestone pillar beside a lava stream.
Zombies at the base
The base is lit with torches, and it's busy. PsychoSFK is there by nameplate, back on Basket's screen for the first time since day one, and a zombie stands on the cobblestone wall overhead. Another zombie wanders the grass between the players until it goes down in a puff of smoke. "I left this guy out by accident and he came at me, I had to kill him." "There will be more opportunities, it's only day four."
The sky goes pink. Sayulily, PaisleyPlayfully and Scoti_Garbidis are up on the base wall, and Basket eats a piece of rotten flesh. Someone eyes a spider nearby. "Do you want a spider?" "Yeah, but it's the end of the episode." Basket ends day four alive.
The grave for pikerize still hasn't appeared on screen, and no mob has gone into a cage on Basket's screen. The end credits follow, with no gameplay after them.
