The Jukebox Prank: GopherCraft UHC S12 Episode 6

  • Published on

"It's day six. There's a skeleton in this cave with me." Basket is still the only player on team green, underground near the middle of the map, carrying the sword made last episode. "It's a pretty cool sword." The Scoti Slayer has Sharpness IV, from the enchanted book found in the zombie dungeon.

Lava and a new pickaxe

Basket checks the end of the cave in case it loops around, then remembers there is a bucket in the inventory. "Maybe I'll grab the lava at the very least." The plan is to look around the edges of the lava pool for diamonds. "So far nothing." Back toward the dungeon base, the pickaxe is about to break, so Basket makes another one.

Music in the dungeon

The music disc from the dungeon chest gets a use. "I feel like I'm going to make a jukebox." Basket sets it down next to the chest beside the spawner and puts on disc 13. The verdict comes fast, and Basket types "disk 13 sucks" into chat. ty750 agrees: "it does." Scoti_Garbidis teases Basket, and Basket answers, "I've got a sword that says otherwise."

Gopherboy is out

Moments later chat reads "Gopherboy hit the ground too hard." Basket types ":o" and "gg," and the "gg" lines roll in from nihontiger, Bakerbelle, FriarNurgle, ty750, Scoti_Garbidis, thepigglesworth, PsychoSFK and bjaydubya. The player list now shows nine still in. Then the server warns, "Soul Crusher will wake in 2 minutes!"

Neighbors upstairs

Basket climbs back up slowly, crouched "just in case there's somebody else up here." Then faint name tags show through the stone. "Oh look at this." Basket guesses it is AngryK9's team. "So it's three people, and they have fairly high health. They don't know I'm here." The sounds suggest building. "I think they're building a fort." Chat posts "Soul Crusher is coming!" as the border starts to shrink again.

A record under the fort

Taking on a team of three alone is not a real option. "I don't really know what I can do to try and beat a team of three. So I'm going to just try and cause some chaos." Every block placed can be heard, so Basket backs down out of sight to rearrange the hotbar, putting gravel next to the jukebox. The idea: dig a spot, set the jukebox in it, start a record and cover it back up. "It's mainly just to mess with them, because I think it's funny."

At the end of a tunnel near them, the jukebox goes down and the screen reads "Now playing: C418 - 13." Gravel goes in front of it. "That made him shift! I made him on edge, I feel good about that." Basket digs a false path for good measure.

Back to base

ty750 earns a run of achievements, from Benchmarking to Getting an Upgrade, and Scoti_Garbidis types "congrats ty." Basket heads back down to the dungeon base. FriarNurgle, out of the match, chats "shake it Scoti," and Basket replies, "don't type in chat dead people :D." Basket is alive, alone on team green and back beside the spawner when the episode ends.
