Two Hearts in the Nether: GopherCraft UHC S6 Episode 3

  • Published on

The episode opens on the same team cards and "Day of the Dragon" title, with no episode number. "Welcome back, everybody." The server's "End of Day 3" roll call is still in chat: thirteen names, with pikerize, SodaShaman and BasketMC in Team Hungry red. Basket's hunger bar is down to about one and a half drumsticks.

Out on the snow

Basket climbs out of the dirt tunnel onto the snow under the moon. Chat reports that pikerize has earned the Monster Hunter achievement. pikerize and SodaShaman are out on the snow too, and a piece of rotten flesh ends up in Basket's hand.

Day comes and the team keeps walking. Snow plains, frozen rivers, a few spruce trees. No animals show up on screen. In chat, Gopherboy leaves the game and joins again.

Lava and cobblestone

Basket carries a lava bucket down to a river. The lava ends up in a shallow pool on the snow, and Basket switches to a water bucket.

Then Basket starts building with cobblestone: two pillars on the snow, joined across the top, with the water bucket still in the hotbar.

The lost footage

At about five minutes in, the picture cuts to a card: "While moving files around during my editing process I've lost most of this episode's video footage. Feel free to listen or just skip to 19:31." The card stays up for more than fourteen minutes while the audio plays under it. This recap sticks to what the screen shows, so that stretch is skipped here.

Alone in the Nether

When the picture comes back, Basket is in the Nether, alone in a narrow netherrack tunnel with two hearts left. A zombie pigman stands at the far end. Green particles drift across the screen and the hunger bar is tinted green, the mark of rotten flesh. Basket goes through the inventory, digs at the netherrack, and four glowstone dust turn up in the hotbar.

"Oh, that's a creeper!" Basket says near the end. "Of all the things that could show up at the end of this episode."

End of Day 4

In chat, FriarNurgle asks "anyone care to adopt me?" and xzosimusx answers "sure, come on over." Basket opens chat, and the lines above show "pikerize left the game" and SodaShaman typing "gg."

The server posts "End of Day 4" and lists eleven players: BasketMC, FriarNurgle, TChels, xzosimusx, momofminers, Th3pooka, Frank_n_Honest, Sayulily, Gopherboy, TopStiGearGaming and SodaShaman. pikerize and rePeteD are no longer on it. BasketMC types "sure, bring food."

The episode ends with Basket alive in the Nether on two hearts, with a full hunger bar. Team Hungry is down to BasketMC and SodaShaman on the list.
