"Why are we in the nether again?"
"Because the shadow queen requests potions, bigb."
Bigb nodded, walking slightly behind ren. He hated the nether. Needlessly dangerous. The hot netherack burned his feet even through his shoes.
"Dude! The fortress is there!"
Bigb looked towards where ren was pointing. The fortress was swarming with Wither skeletons.
"Are you sure we can't trade Scar for the rods?"
"Dude, he'll ask for a life for it or something. And neither of us can spare one."
"True."
Ren pulled the cobble out of his inventory and started bridging towards the fortress, looking out for any ghasts off in the distance. Once they got to the fortress, the two began searching for the spawner.
"Ren! I found it!"
"Yes dude!"
Ren placed down a couldren as bigb set up a wall for a little bit of protection.
"You got the water?"
Bigb nodded and poured it into the couldren.
"You ready?"
"As much as I can be."
The two snuck into the spawner, shields in hand as they hunted the blazes until they had gotten at least ten blaze rods.
"This should be enough, you alright bigb? You took a bit of damage."
"I'll be fine enough to get back to the fort. You?"
"Me? I'm perfectly fine, in fact I'd say I could grab like five more-"
Ren was cut off by a fireball in the back.
"Ren!"
Bigb quickly grabbed ren and dragged him behind the wall, placing more blocks to complete the wall.
"Oh my days, dude. Do we have any food?"
Bigb searched through his inventory in hopes of finding something, but he had run out and ren wasn't in good shape. He was almost about to call for help in chat before he realised that there were so many reds across the board right now that disclosing that they were both in the nether vulnerable would be a death sentence for both of them. But then he saw it. Peaking out of rens inventory was the familiar pink liquid of a healing potion.
"Oh, ren, you genius."
Bigb takes the potion and uncorks the bottle before holding the bottle to rens lips and pouring it. It took a few seconds but ren began to splutter slightly.
"...bigb?"
"You alright, dude?"
"Yeah...I spoke too soon, huh."
"Yeah, you did. You got enough health to head back?"
"Yeah, we should probably go before something else happens to us."
"Yeah, we should."
