BasketMC

Three Against Two: GopherCraft UHC S4 Episode 7

  • Published on

Episode 7 opens on the "GopherCraft UHC Season IV" title and the four team cards. Then Basket is back in the stair tunnel with a diamond pickaxe, still digging down for gold. Only five players are left: Basket's team of three, and Gopherboy and PsychoSFK.

Gold at last

The tunnel is dark ("there's a zombie"), and nobody is sure what level gold sits at. Then it shows up in the wall. "Oh, there's gold." Partway through: "Why is my screen so red?" "Border." The world border is close by. "I'm going up."

Brewing for the fight

Back in the underground room, the gold goes into the potions. Basket crafts gold nuggets around a melon slice and brews it into Potions of Healing. "Put in glowstone as soon as it's ready." A Potion of Swiftness shows up in the hotbar too. Sayulily's nameplate still shows 6 health. Potions get passed around and counted. "I'm gonna take a health potion," and then, "we can go face-to-face."

Out of the base

The team climbs the ladder to the sandstone base and waits at the exit. "I think we should just go for it." Someone checks the border: "There's the wall, it is stopped." Then the countdown, "three, two, one, go," and they run out onto the sand. "It's three of us versus two of them."

The last fight

The fight is fast. Gopherboy's nameplate drops from 14 health to 3 as Basket swings the diamond sword. Then chat reads "Gopherboy was slain by BasketMC," and a few seconds later, "PsychoSFK was slain by BasketMC." Gear spills across the sand. TopStiGearGaming types "GGGG," and Steel_Douglas, TChels and Virii333 follow with their own "gg."

Talking it over

Soon after, chat shows Gopherboy and PsychoSFK slain a second time, this time by FriarNurgle, and a little later PsychoSFK is back on the sand at 20 health. Chat also shows other players joining the game again, and everyone swaps stories. Someone asks why a sword got thrown in the middle of the fight: "I meant to hit W and hit Q instead." "We heard digging," someone else says.

The episode ends with Basket still standing in the arena, sword in hand, while players chat and leave the game, and then the end credits roll.
