You spend the rest of your day hiding out in the woods, cowering in a tree.\n\nYou made a few new animal friends while you hid out in the forest, like the singing robin birds and the barking wolf pack! They help you calm down from such a traumatic ordeal.\n\nMaybe you shouldn't have asked for Trott's help.\n\nYou wonder what Ross DjH3max, your bearded friend, did today.\n\nOh well, it's too late for that now. Eventually, night falls and you head back home. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
You underestimate how tired you are, and the moment you close your eyes you're in dreamland.\n\nOf course, being a heavy sleeper, you actually end up sleeping through the whole day. What a shame.\n\nYou've slept for so long, someone has put you back onto your bed! How nice of them.\n\nOh well, there's always ''tomorrow''.
Your face downturns into a scowl and you narrow your eyes as a walrus in a doctor's suit approaches you rather at a rather quick pace, pointing an accusing flipper at you.\n\nThis is Dr. Trottimus, who has a PhD in Doctoring. He looks like your typical walrus, hulking brown wrinkly body, two large white tusks, whispy whiskers, beady eyes and two great wide flippers. He's pretty intelligent when it comes to making machines or anything scientific or medical like that, but the aquatic mammal could be a major twat at times.\n\n You appear to absolutely loathe the greasy bugger but deep down, he is one of your best friends. But you will never tell him that because if you did, you wouldn't hear the end of it!\n\n"''Oi you green twat! You bothering my precious Eric again!?''"\n\nTell the [[truth|truth]] or [[lie to his blubbery face|lie]]?
Ah yes Jeeves. Not only your first [[wood golem|Wood Golems]], he was your very first golem that you've ever made! He holds a very tiny special place in your brittle, cold heart.\n\nHe's your personal wood servant, and currently he's posed ready at the golden chest. You shuffle around your pockets and find a cobblestone block. You throw it onto the ground and with mild amusement you watch Jeeves scramble from his position, pick up the block and shove it back into the chest.\n\nWhat a good golem.
You figure you could help, seeing how you dont't have anything planned to do anyway.\n\n"''Sure, mate, why the heck not? After all, it was my idea in the first place''" You reply cockily, puffing out your chest proudly.\n\nRoss just laughs at your enthusiasm, looking relieved that you were going to help him. \n\nHe wanders over to the nearby chest and pulls out a couple of wooden planks and tracks, tossing a few to you which you clumsily caught.\n\n"''Let's get started, mate, maybe by the end of the day, we'll have'' [[this monster completed|minecart]]!"
It is tiring and tedious work but after a whole day you and Ross manage to build that awesome rollercoaster.\n\nThe metallic contraption snakes from the outsides of the marble floor and into the upper floors, twisting and dipping and looping around.\n\nAfter you install the last redstone torch, you and Ross immediately hopped onto the minecart and rode the rollercoaster, laughing and whooping loudly as the architect held onto you for dear life.\n\nShakingly, Ross clambers out of the minecart when the ride is finished, and you can't help but laugh at his trembling stature.\n\n"''We did a good job, didn't we?''" The architect asks after he calmed down for a bit, admiring his handiwork.\n\nYou nod enthusiastically.\n\n"[[Yeah, yeah we did|ending 2]]!"
You feel a twinge of guilt as you sheepishly smile.\n\n"''No, no, it's no problem, mate! Don't stress yourself out. Night, Ross!''" You try to say in an upbeat tone, waving at the architect as you hurriedly exit the building.\n\nMaybe you should've offered your help or suggested a different idea. \n\nYou also wonder what Dr. Trottimus, your greasy walrus friend, did today.\n\nOh well, it's too late now! You're way too tired to be thinking such thoughts. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
You feel a bit bad lying to Ross' face and leaving the bearded man to complete the tedious task of the indoor pool by himself, but you're Alsmiffy! No way you're going to do any physical labor! You're a wizard, not a slave!\n\nYou spend the rest of the day exploring the forest beside the Wizard's Tower and as night begins you fall, you return home.\n\nYou decide to check in with the architect, so you wander inside the Marble Tower. \n\n[[Check up on Ross' progress|progress 2]].
As you admire the various minecarts whipping straight past your face, you can't help but wonder if you didn't help, would Ross have finished the rollercoaster by himself?\n\nMaybe next time, you could suggest another idea.\n\nYou also wonder what Dr. Trottimus, your greasy walrus friend, did today.\n\nOh well, it's too late now! You're way too tired to be thinking such thoughts. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
Alone by yourself, you decide to explore the plains in front of the house, expertly zapping away at hostile zombies, skeletons and wisps.\n\nYou spend a good portion of the day hiking around, being one with nature and collecting lots of natural resources. \n\nAs you trek back to your Wizard's Tower as night begins, your mind starts to wander.\n\nMaybe you should've helped Trott out, maybe he really might have needed your help!\n\nYou also wonder what Ross DjH3max, your bearded friend, did today.\n\nOh well, it's too late now! You're way too tired to be thinking such thoughts. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
As you admire your reflection in the cool blue water, you can't help but wonder if you didn't help, would Ross have finished the pool by himself?\n\nMaybe next time, you could suggest another idea.\n\nYou also wonder what Dr. Trottimus, your greasy walrus friend, did today\n\nOh well, it's too late now! You're way too tired to be thinking such thoughts. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
Shit, that's what Trott must have meant about the battery, it needed more charging to fully work! Why the hell did the walrus give you a nearly empty Power Tool anyway?\n\nYou die quickly, seeing how you have no armor, but that's okay. This is Minecraftia where you can easily respawn!\n\nMaybe you should've snuck into the fortress.\n\nYou spawn in your bed where a new day has ''begun''.
You steel yourself, unsheathing your Wand of Lightning and pointing it fiercely at the group of zombie pigmen. Those bastards are going down! \n\nYou aim your magical electrical wand and let the sparks fly, hitting several of them at once.\n\nOf course, you forget that zombie pigmen are passive until you hurt them, and the group angrily charges at you, squealing and slashing their swords. \n\nYou die quickly, seeing how you have no armor, but that's okay. This is Minecraftia where you can easily respawn!\n\nMaybe you should've snuck into the fortress first, or maybe ask Trott for his help instead.\n\nYou spawn in your bed where a new day has ''begun''.
The small spinning orange item is actually a Blaze, and the whole contraption is a Blaze spawner!\n\nSuddenly, five of the demonic buggers spawn in front of you, screeching unholy noises as they frantically fire their fireballs straight at your green body.\n\n[[Dodge that shit|react]].\n[[Sidestep that shit|ending 16]].
As you lay on your pillow, your eyelids getting heavy, your mind begins to replay memories of today's adventure.\n\nAs you drift off into a pleasant sleep, a small smile cracks onto your green face.\n\nYou can't wait for tomorrow, when a ''new day begins''.
Reluctauntly, you follow the hulking walrus into the large marble tea cozy-shaped building, where the doctor's lab full of his many metallic contraptions and machines sat.\n\nYou keep a bit of distance away from Trottimus, unsure what the crazy doctor was planning. He leads you down into his messy lab, bits of yellowed paper are scattered around the floor and the walls are covered in brown treasure chests, filled to the brim with curious-looking machines and bits of colored wire and what not.\n\nYou stand in a little corner, watching with a mixture of fear and awe as Trottimus rummages around a few chests, throwing out an array of mechanical parts off to the side, muttering furiously to himself as he moves from one container to the next.\n\nFinally, with a triumphant "A-HA! That's where you are, you cheeky bugger!" the walrus pulls out a white robotic arm, complete with long spindly fingers and various green and red buttons and silver gears and parts. Along the arm was a long blue cylindrical tube that housed some sort of glowing blue energy.\n\nYou don't like the look of this thing.\n\n"''Here it is, Smiff, the tool that will help you conquer the Nether!''" Trottimus exclaims proudly, holding up the complicated contraption into the air.\n\nYou merely blink, staring at the beaming walrus with a blank stare.\n\n"....[[What the hell is it|power tool]]?" \n
You sigh loudly, rolling your eyes.\n\n"''What do you want now, Trott?''"\n\nThe doctor's eyes light up as he begins to blather on.\n\n"''Sweet, mate! I need you to travel to the Nether and collect some Blaze Rods for my machines!''"\n\nYou falter, throwing a ridiculous look at the aquatic mammal.\n\n"''What!? Are you crazy? In the Nether? I'll die in there!''"\nNo way you were going to risk life and limb in that fiery hellhole just because that grubby walrus wants a few flame rods.\n\nTrott smugly smirks, and looks condescendingly down at you. He sneers.\n\n"''I'm surprised, Smiff, are you actually scared of the Nether?''"\n\nYou open your mouth to retort, but you falter. Were you really [[up for this|hell yeah]], or was Trott telling the [[truth|scared cat]]?
Blazes are nasty little buggers that dwell in the Nether. \n\nThey are basically floating orangey prisms with smaller, thinner prisms rotating quickly around their main body.\n\nTheir main instinct and weapon is to shoot anything on sight with their fireballs, and they were certainly difficult to land a hit on.\n\nThey dropped blaze rods, a rare item useful for Thaumcraft wizardy and a much needed compotent for a few machines.\n\nYou focus on your [[path|eep 2]].
You strut proudly onwards, confident that even though you don't exactly have a plan in dealing with Blazes, you are 100% sure you can take on those bastards!\n\nThe bridge abruptly ends and it overlooks the cascading lava waterfalls flowing straight into the lava lake.\n\nIn front of you sits an iron-barred cube, with something orange spinning in the middle of the cage-like contraption.\n\nYou squint, unable to make out the object and take a closer look to see what the spinning thing is.\n\n[[Big mistake|blaze fight]].\n
You walk along the lonely red bricked bridge, occasionally coughing from all the light smoke. It's somewhat obscuring your vision, but you're too wrapped up in your thoughts.\n\nYou start to wonder how in the world you are going to defeat those [[Blazes|blazes]] and get their precious blaze rods for that blubbery walrus. Why did he need them anyway?\n\n[[Who the hell cares, I'm Alsmiffy, I can take anything on|right 3]]!
No way you're giving up a real arm for a robotic one. Trott could go suck a big fat one!\n\nYou drop the Power Tool and it clatters onto the floor.\n\n"''No way, mate, screw you and your robot arm! You aren't touching me you greasy walrus!''" You yell and escape screaming at the top of your lungs.\n\n[[Proceed to cower in a tree the rest of the day|ending 9]].
Whoops, you momentarily forget you are in the Nether, and any unholy inhabitants of this Notchforsaken hell is immune to fire.\n\nThe Blazes merely brush off your feeble attempt and retaliate with another fireball, aiming right at your shocked green face.\n\nYou die quickly, but this is Minecraftia where you can easily respawn.\n\nYou spawn in your bed where a new day has ''begun''.
The plasma ball from the Power Tool proves to be deadly effective, as when the sphere of energy hit the cluster of Blazes, they all exploded into smoke and died at once.\n\nIt is a good thing that all of them are dead, too, because the Power Glove gives one last sputter before the the blue tube suddenly stops glowing.\n\nShiiit, this is only a one-time use thing! This is what Trott was probably saying about charging the battery.\n\n[[Oh well who cares let's reap the rewards|blaze rods]].
Since the sun is still high and you don't have anything else to do, you travel back to your Wizard's Tower where you haphazardly toss items into the research table in hopes of researching more discoveries.\n\nAs the day went on, you managed to discover the components for a Brain in the Jar but other than that, your efforts have been fruitless.\n\nYou wonder to yourself if you should've complained to Ross today.\n\nYou also wonder what Dr. Trottimus, your greasy walrus friend, did today.\n\nOh well, it's too late now! You're way too tired to be thinking such thoughts. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
Another Day in FTB (A Choose-Your-Own-Hatventure!)
As soon as your brown suede shoe steps onto the red brick, the foundation crumbles away and you are sent spiraling down below, probably screaming for your non-existant mother.\n\nYou instantly die when you hit the lava, but that's okay. This is Minecraftia, where you can easily respawn! \n\nMaybe you should've chosen a different path, or asked Trott for help.\n\nYou spawn in your bed where a new day has ''begun''.\n
You shouldn't have shouted that.\n\nThe white Nether beast, commonly known as a Ghast, let out an unNotchly holy screechy wail as it spotted your presence.\n\nYou fumble around for your Wand of Lightning, and you manage to aim the darned thing at the forsaken demon, but the Ghast was quicker and unleased a boiling fiery hot magma ball straight at your face.\n\nYou die before you even know what hits you. But this is Minecraftia, where you can easily respawn!\n\nYou spawn in your bed where a new day has ''begun''.\n
As you step outside onto the farm, a cold air greets you and you inhale the scent, revelling in the fresh air.\n\nYou are glad you managed to get out of the lava-filled hellhole!\n\nThe full moon is rising into the night sky now, and you feel extremely accomplished.\n\nYou temporarily had a robot arm, you beat up some Blazes and escaped the Nether, all in one day!\n\nYup, you would remember this memorable day for a long time.\n\nWith a satisifed sigh, you head back home to your Wizard's Tower. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
[[Stone Golems|Golems]] are, as the name implies, golems made out of sturdy stone. They are the opposite of Clay Golems.\n\nTheir job is to move things from inventory to inventory.\n\nYou haven't actually made any, simply because stone golems require special marker blocks to dictate what specific inventory you want them to move and store stuff, and as of right now you can't be bothered to make those complicated things.
You decide to stay put and wait, in case the Blazes were preparing a big attack.\n\nAnd you are right.\n\nThe Blazes exhale and let out a steady stream of red hot flames, burning away at your barrier.\n\nThe barrier unfortunately melts, leaving you out in the open.\n\nBefore you can react, however, the Blazes catch you in your vulnerable state and burn you to a crisp.\n\nYou die quickly, but this is Minecraftia where you can easily respawn.\n\nYou spawn in your bed where a new day has ''begun''.
Reacting quickly, you move and manage to sidestep a few of the fireballs, but one grazes against you and scorches your side.\n\nYou give a pained yelp and buckle to your knees, and the Blazes seize this opportunity.\n\nThey pelt you mercilessly with their fireballs, and you are killed quickly. \n\nBut don't worry, this is Minecraftia, where you can easily respawn.\n\nYou spawn in your bed where a new day has ''begun''.
Like a veteran Minecraft pro, you do a fowards roll, the flames narrowly missing you by a few inches.\n\nYou keep your wand pointed at the three hurt Blazes whose health is slowly evaporating away as the electricity relentlessly flowed through their demonic bodies.\n\nFinally, after a few more seconds of being shocked, the 3 Blazes gave an unholy screech before disappearing in a puff of smoke, and from their floating bodies each drops a blaze rod.\n\n[[GET THE THINGS|grab]].
Wood [[Golems|Golems]] were the first ever golems you've discovered.\n\nThey are the most basic and dumbest ones, but they do the job, grabbing the items that you throw onto the floor and sticking it back into its assigned container.\n\nThe wood golems that spring to your mind are [[Jeeves|Jeeves]], [[Geoffrey|Geoffrey]], and [[Bartholomew|Bartholomew]].
You crash violently on the ground, feeling your stomach being pulled apart from different directions, and you groan loudly as you right yourself up.\n\nYou made it back home!\n\nYou start to laugh loudly as you look back at the growling Nether Portal, unable to believe you managed to get out of there alive.\n\nYou look down at your green hand where you only have 3 blazes rods.\n\n"''3 out of 5 ain't that bad''" You confidently think to yourself as you stroll towards the marble house.\n\nTrott's probably going to be furious with you, but you don't care, you made it back alive!\n\n[[You're gonna give that salty walrus a piece of your brilliant mind|trott]].
The walrus gives another hearty laugh, attaching the Power Tool snugly onto your arm using the straps underneath the device and boots you out before you have time to yell and insult him.\n\nYou swear you hear the walrus yell something about a 'battery' and 'charging' but you're much too busy swimming in your furious thoughts as you storm towards the [[Nether portal|nether power tool]].
"''Sorry for tricking you about the whole robot arm thing''" Trottimus sheepishly apologizes, grinning, "''I'm just really glad you made it back alive''"\n\nYou can't help but grin widely, but you dismiss Trott's comments with a nonchalant wave of your green hand.\n\n"''Yeah, yeah, mate, don't get all sappy''" You scoff, "''I know you missed me''"\n\nYou catch a glimpse of Trott's fuming face and you smugly grin to yourself before you [[fully exit the building|ending 15]].
You almost drop the Power Tool out of fear and take a step back, your blue eyes widening at Trott.\n\n"''Wh-what?! You're kidding me, mate, chop off my arm?! I-is that really necessary?!''"\n\nThe walrus gives a solemn nod, never breaking eye contact.\n\n"''I'm afraid we're gonna have to cut off an arm if you want to use it''"\n\nHe gestures towards the humming robotic contraption in your arms.\n\n"''What's it gonna be, mate?''"\n\nYou stare down at the Power Tool you held in your hands. It certainly would be cool, wielding a robotic arm that could fire plasma balls and rail missiles, plus it would be really beneficial in the Nether. But was it worth cutting off one of your arms for it?\n\n[[Fuck yeah let's do it|chop]]!\n[[Fuck this I'm outta here|flee]]!
You nearly vomit as you're thrown violently into the Nether, you've never gotten used to traveling inbetween dimensions anyway.\n\nYou groan and grovel for a bit on the flickering red netherrack before gathering up the courage to pick yourself up and look around.\n\nRed hot lava spews forth from the skies, pooling into the lava lakes below. Zombie pigmen with their rotting pig flesh and their shiny golden swords stand around idly nearby. In the corner of your eye, you spy a Nether Fortress.\n\nShould you [[take care of those zombified freaks|attack pigmen]] or [[sneak into the castle|fortress 2]]?.
Now you remember, you're angry at Ross!\n\n"''Look, mate, why the hell is your ugly marble tower so much taller than my Wizard's Tower?''" You huff rather angrily, "''I'm a wizard! My magical building should be ten times more awesome than this piece of crap''"\n\nRoss takes no offense and merely laughs, placing a hand on your shoulder.\n\n"''Maaaaaate, this building's gonna house everything! That's why it has to be bigger than the Wizard's Tower!''"\n\nYou just stare at him, unimpressed, and you cross your arms. \n\n"''House what sort of things?''" You scoff.\n\nThis causes Ross to frown, and he drops his hand to his side. He stares around the empty room for a while, tilting his head.\n\n"''...I dunno, mate''" He decides with a shrug, "''What do you think?''"\n\nYou study his eager face for a moment, your mind wandering. What is something this tower could be used for?\n\nCould the marble tower be used for a pretty cool [[indoor pool|pool]] or an awesome [[indoor rollercoaster|rollercoaster]]?
Ross then looks up at you sheepishly, "''Hey Smiff, do you think you can lend me a hand?''"\n\nYou stand there for a moment, contemplating your decisions. On one hand, [[you don't feel like helping at all|no]], for that requires physical labor, but at the same time, the sooner you [[help the architect|assist]], the sooner that indoor pool can be a reality!
You decide to go onto the path on your right, because it must be the right path! After all, it is called 'right' for a reason, right?\n\nOh, you make yourself chuckle sometimes.\n\n[[Keep going|eep 2]].
You suddenly feel very tired, and decide to go to bed early.\n\n"''Well, mate, if you don't need anything else, I'm tuckin' in early''" You visibly yawn, stretching and groaning.\n\nYou head towards the door when all of a sudden Trottimus turns around.\n\n"''Wait, Smiff!''"\n\nYou turn to face Trott.\n\n"[[Yeah|doki]]?"
The small spinning orange item is actually a Blaze, and the whole contraption is a Blaze spawner!\n\nSuddenly, five of the demonic buggers spawn in front of you, screeching unholy noises as they frantically fire their fireballs.\n\n[[Not today, bitches|action]]!
You scoff and roll your blue eyes.\n\n"''Of course I'm bothering Eric again! This bird's bloody useless!''" You exclaim loudly, jabbing an accusing finger at Trott.\n\n"''What? Eric? No! He's my flying buddy, he takes me places!''" The walrus huffs as he affectionally pats Eric's head, who purred lovingly.\n\nYou feel yourself gag at the site.\n\n"''Whatever, mate''" You dismiss him nonchalantly, crossing your arms. \n\nThe doctor then pauses and sizes you up, frowning.\n\n"''What are you doing out here anyway?''"\n\nYou open your mouth to [[answer|reply]].\n\n
[[Clay Golems|Golems]] are the opposite of Stone Golems.\n\nTheir purpose is to empty an inventory of a specific item. \n\nYou just discovered them, so you haven't taken the time to actually make one, but judging on their purpose, you think they don't have that much use for you.
Wasting no time, you dive forward, snatching up the three warm orange sticks before retreating back to your Nether wall shelter.\n\n[[3 down, 2 more to go|attack]].
You decide to go onto the path on your right, because it must be the right path! After all, it is called 'right' for a reason, right?\n\nOh, you make yourself chuckle sometimes.\n\n[[Keep going|right 2]].
Your very first [[Straw Golem|Straw Golems]] you made.\n\nHe was in charge of harvesting the reeds, if you remember correctly. But you aren't sure; your mind is a bit fuzzy.\n\nDespite being the most prominent Straw Golem, he doesn't really have that much of an impact on you.
As you enter the building, you're disappointed to find that the rollercoaster is nowhere close to being completed. Ross, who is laying down a few more pieces of track, notices you down below.\n\n"''Oh, hey mate!''" He greets rather cheerfully, but the bags under his eyes meant he was tired, "''The rollercoaster isn't completed yet, but I'll work on it tomorrow''" \n\n[[Feel guilty|ending 1]].
Your second [[wood golem|Wood Golems]] that you've ever made.\n\nHe was that one guy's golem. You know, the one with the mop of black hair and with the somewhat impressive beard. \n\nYou sort of feel sorry for Geoffrey, his owner is a pretty mean brute to this wood golem. He often litters the floor with cobblestone pieces, just to see the Thaumcraft object scramble across the floor, desperately picking up the blocks. \n\nBut that was a wood golem's job, so it doesn't bother you that much.
You crash violently on the ground, feeling your stomach being pulled apart from different directions, and you groan loudly as you right yourself up.\n\nYou made it back home!\n\nYou laugh to yourself on how ridiculously easy to was to get those blaze rods. You're a bit angry, though, that Trott gave you a faulty Power Tool.\n\nYou stroll towards the marble house.\n\n[[You should give him a piece of your mind|trottimus]].
Well, Ross isn't really a human, per se.\n\nHe is actually an android. A robot built by your advanced magic and your walrus friend's medical expertise.\n\nThis is very beneficial to your little trio. Being an android, Ross is a bit stronger than regular humans and at times he has flashes of brilliance, plus if he ever 'dies', you could always replace him with a newer, better model!\n\n...You haven't actually told Ross that he's an [[android|secret]]...
A black haired man with a somewhat impressive beard is descending slowly with his jetpack strapped to his back.\n\nHe is sharply dressed, wearing a black pinstriped suit. His brilliant red tie provides a striking contrast to his eager bright blue eyes, completing the look of this young man. \n\nThis is Ross DjH3max, one of your best friends! Although his surname is a bit weird for a [[human|Android]], you aren't one to judge.\n\nHe's a bit absent-minded, unable to see the things he needs right in front of him, and he can outcurse a sailor when he's angry, but Ross is one great architect with a magnificent beard and...unique...building style. \n\n"''Heya, Smiff''" Ross says with a smile on his face as he lands in front of you, "[[What's up?|answer]]"
"''Hey you oversized chicken, I'm gonna deep fry your legs!''" you shout rather angrily and loudly as you stride over to the black wyvern with your slender green legs.\n\nEric sees you approaching and starts squawking menacingly, hurriedly flapping its wings and ruffling its chest, trying to look bigger, but you're not fazed. You're Alsmiffy! No way is this hulking ostrich upshowing you!\n\nJust as you're about to enter the pen, however, the door to the house bursts open and out comes a walrus, [[barreling straight towards you|Trottimus]]!
"''TROTT YOU FILTHY BASTARD YOU GAVE ME A FAULTY POWER TOOL!''" You screech loudly as you kick through the door, waving the robotic contraption into the air.\n\nThe walrus nearly drops a saw-like tool from his flippers and throws you a panicked look.\n\nSeeing it's only you, although you look utterly pissed, he gives a laugh.\n\n"''Well, yeah, mate! I did warn you about the battery!''" Trottimus utters another hearty laugh and you narrow your eyes.\n\n[[Give the darned walrus his robot arm and blaze rods|give]].\n
You focus your attention onto the majestic ivory tower.\n\nAlmost immediately, you feel yourself scowl. You are somewhat peeved that this star-shaped marble structure that reached for the Minecraftian Heavens dwarfed your respectable Wizard's Tower, making your magical building look like a child's plaything in comparison.\n\nYou storm out of magical building and head towards the pretentious Marble Tower to complain to the [[architect|building]].\n
"''I woke up this morning and I decided to check on the farm''" You reply nonchalantly, unsure where this conversation was going.\n\nTrott leans against the wooden fence, arching a hairy brow.\n\n"''So, you don't have anything planned today, then?''" The walrus questions rather coolly, trying to look distant.\n\nOf course, being a sharp observer, you notice this right away that something was up. Trott probably needs your help or something, as always.\n\nThe thing is, do you want to [[help the greasy walrus|fine]] or [[go do something else|lie again]]?
3 blaze rods are enough, right? Going after the 2 Blazes isn't worth it, your life is much more priceless than those 2 orange sticks anyway.\n\nYou quickly make a break for it and dash on the bridge, screeching your head off as you clutch the 3 blaze rods near your chest.\n\nYou safely make it back to the Nether Portal and [[jump through that shit|return]] to the safety of the Hat House.
Your blue eyes widen when the greatest idea hits you.\n\n"''Ohhh, duuuuude, you should make an indoor rollercoaster!''" You exclaim excitedly, "''How epic would that be?''"\n\nYou see Ross' eyes light up like a Christmas tree, and he grins widely.\n\n"''Yeah! Totally! An indoor rollercoaster would be so cool! Like, all the wooden tracks would be spiraling around the floors and stuff...''" The architect begins to spit out plans and details and you stand there proudly, feeling accomplished for having a great idea.\n\n[[One drawback though|fault]].
As you enter the building, you're disappointed to find that the pool is nowhere close to being completed. Ross, who is mining away at the marble, notices you.\n\n"''Oh, hey mate!''" He greets rather cheerfully, but the bags under his eyes meant he was tired, "''The pool isn't completed yet, but I'll work on it tomorrow''" \n\n[[Feel guilty|ending 1]].
You saddled up the ebony horse and you rode him back to the Hat House, whooping and bellowing into the air.\n\nOf course, that was the very last time you rode Roger, because you're such a busy Thaumaturge and you have no time for horseback riding.\n\nWell, as least Roger looks happy on the [[farm|Farm]].
Actually, you lied. Roger wasn't the most magnificent ebony horse you ever saw. In fact, he was rather quite ordinary.\n\nYou just saw a black horse wandering around in the forest.\n\nIt noticed the red apple you held in your green hand. You were saving that apple for a snack later on, but the horse looked very interested in the fruit.\n\nYou remember that horses can be tamed when fed apples, and you only had one, but you figured you might as well give it a [[shot|Roger 3]].
You offered the red fruit to the horse, your arm outstretched.\n\nThe horse's black ears flicked back, exhaled at the apple and hesitantly, took a bite.\n\nIt neighed happily and completely finished the apple in just a few bites. It brayed once more, exhaling on your hand and stared at you with attentive, deep brown eyes.\n\nWhich obviously meant...\n\nYou had your very own [[horse|Roger 4]]!
Huh, for some strange reason, it doesn't hurt. You expected more screaming, more profanity, more pain but instead you feel...nothing.\n\nYou open your eyes and steal a peek, and blink when the iron axe completely missed your arm and instead hit the desk.\n\n"''HAHAHAHA YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR STUPID FACE!''" Trottimus is laughing, doubling over as he wipes away a few tears, "''J-jesus! You actually believed the whole 'arm-cutting' schtick! Hahaha! What a twat!''" \n\nYou just stare at the walrus blankly and you suddenly come to the realization that you've been duped.\n\n[[Glare at Trott|sucker]].\n
You've never seen the walrus grin so widely before, and it is creeping you out. Maybe you should rethink helping this suspicious aquatic animal out.\n\n"''Maaaaate, this is a Power Tool!''" Trottimus screeches energetically, shoving the contraption into your hands, "''this bad boy can fire rail missiles, devastating plasma shock balls, and on top of that, doubles as a pickaxe, shovel and axe!''" \n\nYou pull a face, looking down at the strange Power Tool. It seems to hum, and you feel a sudden urge of power flow through you. \n\nIt tingles.\n\nThen a [[sudden thought|suspicious]] occurs to you.
Blazes are nasty little buggers that dwell in the Nether. \n\nThey are basically floating orangey prisms with smaller, thinner prisms rotating quickly around their main body.\n\nTheir main instinct and weapon is to shoot anything on sight with their fireballs, and they were certainly difficult to land a hit on.\n\nThey dropped blaze rods, a rare item useful for Thaumcraft wizardy and a much needed compotent for a few machines.\n\nYou focus on your [[path|right 2]].
You scoff, rolling your eyes.\n\n"''Maaaate, I'm Alsmiffy! Of course I'll make it back alive!''" You sneer, slightly growling.\n\nYou shove the three blaze rods into Trottimus' chest, and he looks at them with a confused look.\n\n"''You only got 3?''" He asks with an incredulous look.\n\n[[Clamly explain your predicament in the Nether|well]].
Suddenly, the architect pauses, then frowns.\n\n"''Well, that seems like a lot of work actually,''" He ponders out loud for a moment, scratching the back of his head. "''I dunno if I'm up for the task, actually''" \n\nHe then looks at you, and offers a sheepish grin "''Hey Smiff, do you think you can lend me a hand?''"\n\nYou stand there for a moment, contemplating your decisions. On one hand, [[you don't feel like helping at all|refuse]], for that requires physical labor, but at the same time, the sooner you [[help the architect|help]], the sooner the rollercoaster can be a reality!
You feel a bit bad lying to Ross' face and leaving the bearded man to complete the tedious task of the indoor rollercoaster by himself, but you're Alsmiffy! No way you're going to do any physical labor! You're a wizard, not a slave!\n\nYou spend the rest of the day exploring the forest beside the Wizard's Tower and as night begins you fall, you return home.\n\nYou decide to check in with the architect, so you wander inside the Marble Tower. \n\n[[Check up on Ross' progress|progress 1]].
Fuck it, having a robot arm would be super cooler than a regular organic one anyway!\n\n"''Yeah, mate, let's frackin' do it!''" You yell loudly, slamming your right arm onto the nearby table, looking determinedly at the walrus. You carefully place the Power Tool on the table as well, your eyes focusing on every detail of the robotic contraption.\n\nWell, this would be your new arm!\n\n"''Smiff,''" Trott asks seriously, looking hard into your eyes, "''Are you sure you're okay with this? This is your arm we're talking about''"\n\nAre you having [[second thoughts|doubts]] or you're [[seeing this through|cmon]]?
The Green Fury.\n\nThe Green One.\n\nThe Harbringer of Fire and Brimstone.\n\nYou don't know what the hell you are and neither do other people. \n\nBut you don't care because you're [[Alsmiffy|begin]].
You admit you were a bit stunned for a few seconds, and as a result you are somewhat scorched, but you manage to escape the initial flurry of flames.\n\nYou retreat backwards, pressing your back against a Nether wall, occasionally peering out from your safe shelter to find an opportunity to strike.\n\nIt isn't easy, as the five or so Blazes are angrily spewing their fireballs at the wall.\n\nSuddenly, all of them seemed to stop, their rotating rods slowing down, and you take this opportunity to strike.\n\n[[Time to put the Power Tool to great use|boom]]!

Ohhhh, Eric.\n\nYou don't like Eric and Eric doesn't like you.\n\nHe is that greasy doctor's flying mount, and you despise that oversized chicken. \n\nWith his jagged sharp teeth, his beady red eyes, his space black feathers and his pointed dragon wings and dangerous talons, Eric is one mean-looking ostrich.\n\nWell, if you could get past his ridiculous loose-fitted iron helmet, the bright leather saddle and bag on his back and the ridiculous yellow flag on his tail, that is.\n\nAn evil idea pops into your head and you grin maliciously as you head your way towards [[Eric's pen|pen]].

[[And your hunches are always right|suspicious]].
You strut proudly onwards, confident that even though you aren't completely sure if the Power Tool will work or not, you are 100% sure you can take on those bastards!\n\nThe bridge abruptly ends and it overlooks the cascading lava waterfalls flowing straight into the lava lake.\n\nIn front of you sits an iron-barred cube, with something orange spinning in the middle of the cage-like contraption.\n\nYou squint, unable to make out the object and take a closer look to see what the spinning thing is.\n\n[[Big mistake|blaze fight 2]].
You walk along the lonely red bricked bridge, occasionally coughing from all the light smoke. It's somewhat obscuring your vision, but the glow from the Power Tool offers some visible light.\n\nYou gaze down at the strange robotic weapon strapped onto your arm, and you can't help but grin.\n\nThis ridiculously powerful weapon would totally wipe out those pesky [[Blazes|blazes 2]] and you would just stroll in and nonchalantly take their blaze rods.\n\n[[You are confident in yourself|eep 3]].
You awake with a start and you find yourself on your bed.\n\nIt's time for [[another day|begin]].\n\n\n
You secretly grin, silently congratulating for pulling off such a great lie.\n\nDamn, you're such a great liar!\n\nTrottimus is such an absolute, oblivious [[twat|lie]].
Fuck it, you're Alsmiffy, the greatest Thaumaturge who's ever lived! You aren't afraid of pathetic Blazes.\n\nWand of Lightning or not, you have a multitude of other magical weapons at your disposal.\n\nConfidently, you jump out from your shelter, aim your Wand of Fire at the two Blazes and unleash Hell.\n\n[[Uh-oh, it's not very effective|ending 18]].
Seizing the opportunity, you dive out from your hiding place, roll forward, aim your Wand of Lightning at those fiery bastards and let it loose.\n\nThe electricity spewed forth from the wand, crackling loudly and dispersing as it struck the first three Blazes, and the Nether demons shook violently.\n\nThe other two unfazed Blazes were done recharging and start pelting you with their fireballs once more.\n\n[[Pew pew fighting action scene|dodge]].
You decide to head down to the farm to check on its progress.\n\nThe many farms were looking particularly busy today, the many straw golems weaving their way in and out of the fence gates. Your are proud of your various crops that spanned from reeds to flax, as a Thaumaturge, you need a vast amount of crops for your magical work.\n\nFar out from the farm, right next to the main marble house, there are two fenced-off areas that do not house crops, but rather animals.\n\nNext to the marble house is the tall and majestic [[black wyvern ostrich Eric|Eric]] and right across from him is your [[black horse, Roger|Roger]].
"''Well, you could've been more clearer about that!''" You quip bitterly as you lay the Power Tool and all 5 blaze rods on the table.\n\nTrottimus' hairy eyebrows arched, and he looks more than impressed.\n\n"''Wow, mate, you got me exactly 5 blaze rods, thanks!''"\n\nYou scoff, crossing your arms.\n\n"''Yeah, I know I'm great, Trott, no need to tell me twice''" \n\nTrottimus just throws you a dirty look, but grins gratefully as he puts away the items in a nearby chest.\n\n[[You saved the day|leave]].
You peer from behind your barrier, aiming your wand at the two remaining Blazes.\n\nHowever, with a well-aimed shot from a Blaze, its fireball knocked the Wand of Lightning straight from your green hand, burning you in the process.\n\nYou stoop to pick up your wand off the floor, but grimace as you see the fireball had melted most of the magical item.\n\nDo you take a chance to finish off the remaining Blazes or do you leg it out of there?\n\n[[C'mon you bastards I'm ready for ya!|fight]].\n[[Fuck it, mate, RUN|run]].
"''Yup! That's all, just thought I'd let you know you're a pretty good architect''"\n\nRoss hesitates, unsure whether you're being sarcastic or not. You're awfully good at that.\n\n"''Well, see ya later, mate!''" You exclaim rather nonchalantly, waving goodbye to the confused architect as you exit the [[marble building|oopsie]].
You finally decide you can't be bothered to get up off the floor, and you're so damn tired that you don't care.\n\nYou decide to close your eyes and take a nap, at least for a [[few moments|ending 8]]....
[[And you NEVER will|Ross]].
[[Tallow Golems|Golems]] are little golems that help you with your crucible. Just give 'em an empty bucket, mark a water source, and the tiny things will rush on over and refill the crucible whenever it's empty.\n\nThey're also designed to take out excess essentia from alembics and store them in essentia jars, but so far you haven't worked out how to do so.\n
You want to burn something today.\n\nYou wonder what that greasy walrus face is doing. Probably in that horribly designed marble tea cozy building, playing with his machines no doubt.\n\nWhat about that bearded mess of an architect? You guess he's adding onto that marble monstrosity outside.\n\nYou want to go back to [[sleep|sleep on floor]], but then again, you should probably [[get up|Floor]].
Shit, you have a Power Tool and you are determined as hell to use it!\n\nYou point your robotic arm right at the group of oinking pig humanoids and let a large blue plasma ball rip, the energy sphere massacring the small group of Nether warriors.\n\nOf course, you forget that zombie pigmen are passive until you hurt them, and another group nearby angrily charges at you, squealing and slashing their swords. \n\nPanicking, you lift up your Power Tool to fire another plasma ball but the contraption just sputters and sparks, and the spherical tube that houses the blue energy stops glowing.\n\n[[You're fucked, mate|ending 7]].
Ugh, no way you were helping that bag of grease out, you despise him! In reality, you're just a lazy bastard.\n\n"''Oooh, actually, mate, I have loads of stuff planned today!''" You exclaim as you pull a serious face, "''I have stuff to do and what not. You know, wisps to kill, research to be discovered, you know the drill''"\n\nTrottimus frowns deeply at your lie, but he tries to not look too bothered.\n\n"''Oh, of course. You have fun then''" The walrus awkwardly retreats to the house, but he stops momentarily before entering, glancing back at you.\n\n"''You better not blow anything up you cheeky piece of shit!''" He threatens before disappearing. You laugh; there's the grumpy old Trottimus you know!\n\n[[Spend rest of day fooling around|ending 5]].\n\n
Ahh yes, Roger. Your very own majestic black horse.\n\nIt was somewhat of an accident that you met Roger. You were frolicking in the autumn forest (as you so often do) when your blue eyes settled on the most magnificent stallion you have ever seen.\n\nDo you have time to keep [[reminiscing|Roger 2]], or does your mind snap back to [[reality|Farm]]?
Suddenly, you begin to sweat and you start to shake, as your vision grows blurry.\n\nYou start to hallucinate and images flash through your brain: your bloody green stub of an arm twitching on the table, Trottimus laughing evilly as he forcefully attaches the Power Tool to your bleeding stub, and the pain...oh the pain!\n\nThis is more than enough to deter you from helping Trott. \n\n"''On second thought, mate, I think...I think I'm gonna go...''" You trail off, growing pale as you hurriedly withdraw your arm from the table. \n\nTrottimus opens his mouth to say something, but you're out of there faster than Ross can sniff out marble.\n\n[[Avoid the crazy greasy walrus the rest of the day|ending 10]].
"''TROTT YOU FILTHY BASTARD YOU ALMOST GOT ME KILLED!''" You scream loudly as you burst through the doors.\n\nThe walrus nearly drops a saw-like tool from his flippers and throws you a panicked look.\n\nSeeing it's only you, although you look utterly pissed and slightly scorched, he gives a laugh.\n\n"''Oh shit, mate, you're actually back!''" Trott snorts, grinning widely, "''I didn't think you'd make it back alive!''"\n\n[[Rudely shove the blaze rods into his smug face|shove]].
Trottimus turns to face you, and grins a wide grin.\n\n"''Thanks, mate, for the blaze rods! I really appreciate it''"\n\nYou can't help but give a smug grin, and you dimiss Trott's compliment with a nonchalant wave of your green hand. \n\n"''I know you do, Trott''"\n\nYou jokingly scoff, grinning as you [[exit the building|ending 14]].
You decide to go straight, because going forward is always the best way anyway.\n\n[[Keep going|up 2]].
You step outside and the sun is beginning to set and you inhale deeply, admiring the fresh smell of nature.\n\nYou feel very accomplished; you managed to make it to the Nether and back!\n\nYou feel a bit empty and guilty though, you didn't get Trott all of his blaze rods.\n\nAh well, you did good enough today, anyway. \n\nMaybe you should've asked Trott for his help for the Nether.\n\nYou wonder what Ross DjH3max, your bearded friend, did today.\n\nOh well, it's too late for that now. You turn around and head back to your Wizard's Tower. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
Right! You want to congratulate Ross DjH3max for building such an astonishing marble building, it nearly brings you to tears whenever you set your blue eyes on that magnificent work of art. \n\nBut you're Alsmiffy, and you don't cry.\n\n"''Maaaaate, you did a really good job building this Marble Tower!''" You exclaim rather enthusiastically, looking around the empty room proudly.\n\nRoss blinks, then sheepishly grins, scratching the back of his neck. He wasn't expecting praise, certainly from you.\n\n"''Uh, th-thanks mate? I appreciate it''" The architect replies as he nervously chuckles. \n\nHe regains his composure for a bit, coughing slightly and grinning widely.\n\n"''Anyway, is that all?''"\n\nYou falter. [[Was that it|next]], or did you have [[something else to say|complain]]?
You take great offense to what Trott was implying.\n\n"''You saying I won't last long in the Nether, you grimy twat?!''" You exclaim loudly, letting the anger overwhelm your fear. "''I'm Alsmiffy! The greatest Thaumaturge whose ever lived! I'll show your whiskery face wrong by coming back with those blaze rods!''"\n\nTrottimus merely grins widely, feeling accomplished that his mind games worked. Of course, you're too angry to notice his smug expression.\n\n"''Great, mate! 5 will do. Good luck, don't die!''" The walrus replies rather happily, patting your shoulder before returning inside.\n\nYou stand there for a moment, blinking, then sigh.\n\nReluctauntly, you head towards the [[obsidian Nether portal|nether portal]].
You decide it isn't worth bothering that group of Zombie Pigmen. Besides! They're just standing about, oinking and what not. You remember that they're passive anyway, and attacking them would be a brutal mistake.\n\nYou head towards the gaping maw of the red-bricked Nether Fortress. It stands tall, very formidable in its appearance. You walk across the crumbling bridge carefully, making sure you don't fall through a crack and sent tumbling down into the lava below.\n\nWalking ahead, you stop at junction and the path splits into three: one going straight ahead, another to your left and another to your right.\n\n[[Go straight|up]].\n[[Go left|left]].\n[[Go right|right]].
No way, you're seeing this through! No matter how painful it would be, you are getting that robotic arm one way or another! And no way that smug, greasy walrus is deterring you from that opportunity.\n\n"''Ugh, hurry up and just do it Trott!''" You angrily yell at the walrus, furrowing your eyebrows. You just want it to be over with quickly.\n\nTrottimus gives a solemn nod, walking up to the desk where your arm lies. He gives you one last serious look, before raising the axe high above his head. You shut your eyes tight and look away, you can't bear to see the sight of the axe slicing your arm clean off! The tension is unbearable!\n\n"''Sorry about this, Smiff''"\n\nThe iron axe swings down.\n\n[[THUNK|jk]].
You fall onto the marble floor with a heavy thud but you don't bother to get up, at least for a while. \n\nYou lie there for the longest time, thinking about [[things|thoughts]].\n\nFinally, after gathering enough motivation, you stand up and stretch to your fullest height, all 6"4 of you.\n\nThe bones in your back crack as you stretch, and you let out a groan, exhaling. You were never much of a morning person. After all, a Thaumaturge often worked in the dark night until the wee hours of the morning.\n\nScratching your stomach, you sleepily gaze out [[the window|Window]].\n\n
"''Trott, mate, if this Power Tool can really help in the Nether like you claim it will,''" You begin slowly, never breaking your intense gaze on the robotic arm, "''then why do you need my help? Why can't you do it?''"\n\nThe grin on the walrus' face drops, and he quickly coughs and turns around, pretending to look busy as he rummages through the containers once more.\n\n"''Oh you know me, being the scientist and doctor and all. I-I'm much too busy to gather resources. That's why you need to do it!''" \n\nYou narrow your eyes at the aquatic animal. You have [[a hunch|hunch]] something is up.\n\n"''Trott,''" You start in a deathly serious tone, "''Are there any [[drawbacks|drawback]] to using the Power Tool?''"
As the cool air greets you as you step outside, you hesitate for a bit before looking back.\n\nShit, that wasn't the right reason why you visited Ross, you wanted to complain to him, not praise him!\n\nAh well, praising Ross for his work gave you a confidence boost.\n\n[[Go and do wizardy things for the rest of the day|ending 11]].
Pressing your green hand against the cool glass, you peer outside of your magnificent Wizard's Tower.\n\nA tall marble tower looms behind your Wizard's Tower. It has no windows, and it reaches into the heavens. \n\nThe sprawling farm looks magnificent down below. It's very well-maintained thanks to your [[magical golems|Golems]] who are running around, harvesting the various crops and depositing it into different wooden chests. \n\nWhere do you want to go? \n\n[[I wanna visit the farm|Farm]].\n[[I want to look at the marble tower|Marble Tower]].
You try to pull a hurt expression.\n\n"''W-what?! No waaaaaay! Why would I ever think about hurting Eric?''" You sneakily throw a dirty look at the ostrich, who screeches loudly at you. \n\nTrott stares at you with a frown, casting a wary eye between you and Eric. The walrus decides to [[believe you|thought]], and he softens up somewhat.\n\nThe walrus begins to size you up, frowning.\n\n"''What are you doing out here anyway?''"\n\nYou hesitate slightly, before opening your mouth to [[answer|reply]].
You decide at that moment you can't be bothered to help.\n\n"''Ooooh, soz, mate, can't help you there I'm afraid!''" You exclaim as you pull a serious face, "''I have stuff to do and what not. You know, wisps to kill, research to be discovered, you know the drill''"\n\nRoss looks a bit crest-fallen, his shoulders drooping, but his frown quickly forms into a small smile.\n\n"''Oh, well, that's too bad then. Good luck then, mate! The pool probably won't be installed today...we'll see''" The architect replies rather sadly. \n\nRoss waves goodbye as you [[exit the tower|ending 3]].
You nearly vomit as you're tossed violently into the Nether, you've never gotten used to traveling inbetween dimensions anyway.\n\nYou groan and grovel for a bit on the flickering red netherrack before gathering up the courage to pick yourself up and look around.\n\nRed hot lava spews forth from the skies, pooling into the lava lakes below. Zombie pigmen with their rotting pig flesh and their shiny golden swords stand around idly nearby. In the corner of your eye, you spy a Nether Fortress.\n\nShould you [[take care of those zombified freaks|ending 6]] or [[sneak into the castle|fortress]]?.\n
Trottimus flinches, but continues to frantically search through the chests, never making eye contact.\n\n"''Haha whaddya mean, mate? There's no drawbacks at all!''" He laughs nervously, but you don't have time for this bullshit.\n\n"''Cut the crap, Trott, what's the drawback?''"\n\nThe walrus freezes, throws a solemn glance at you, then reaches into a nearby chest.\n\nTrottimus pulls out a rather large and rusty iron axe, the dull metal slightly gleaming.\n\nHe looks at you with a stoic expression, and you start shaking in your Boots of the Traveller.\n\n"''In order for you to use the Power Tool, mate, we're gonna have to'' [[chop off your arm|decide]]"\n\n
Seizing the opportunity, you aim your robotic arm towards the cluster of Blazes. \n\nThe machine whirs, groans, uttering a high-pitched whine and with a stuttered sputter, fires a large blue plasma ball straight at the crowd of Nether demons!\n\n[[This is the part where you make your own explosion noises|noises]].
For the briefest of moments, you forget why you're there in the first place. It takes you a split second to answer.\n\nWas it to [[complain to the architect|complain]] or was it [[praise him|praise]]?\n
Yeah, maybe you are a bit scared. Just a little.\n\n"''M-Maybe I am!''" You shout, stuttering a bit, "''But that doesn't mean anything! The Nether's a dangerous place, mate!''"\n\nInstead of berating you or laughing at your lack of confidence, a rather devilish grin forms on his blubbery face and you feel yourself shiver.\n\nYou don't like the look of that.\n\nTrott just laughs evilly, a mischevious glint twinkling in his eye, "''Follow me, mate,'' [[I've got just the thing for you|follow]]"
Your third [[wood golem|Wood Golems]] that you've made, you think. You've made so many by now, you can't recall when you've made them and you can't be bothered to.\n\nHe is the brown aquatic creature's golem. You know, the one with the tusks and doctor's coat. You absolutely hate his guts to the point that you almost vomit everytime you see him, but you can tolerate him. \n\nYou often see Bartholomew in the main Hat House, sitting idly on the wooden chest next to the macerators and furnaces and such. He doesn't do much, in fact, his owner sort of neglects him, but Bartholomew doesn't mind.
Propped up with your many pillows, you crane your neck to look at your surroundings and you see that you are in your aptly named Wizard's Tower. The Infernal Furnace is no longer burning, but its glowing red eyes still stare transfixed into the depths of your very soul. Glass jars filled to the brim with different types of essentia are lined up next to your two empty cauldrons. Four yellow alembics are connected to each cauldron, great for cultivating excess essences.\n\nYou are [[Alsmiffy|Alsmiffy]] and you are a Thaumaturge.\n\nAfter staring at the marble ceiling for a while, the shapeless floating Nitor reflecting a reddish hue onto your green skin, you finally gather enough motivation to [[roll off your bed|Floor]].
5 dead Blazes meant 5 blaze rods, the perfect amount! \n\nYou whistle a happy little song, grabbing the items before calmly crossing the bridge back to the [[Nether Portal|home]].\n\n
To calm yourself down, you shear off a couple of sheep and set their wool on fire, the flames dancing and cackling and everything feels all right in the world. \n\nMaybe you shouldn't have asked for Trott's help.\n\nYou wonder what Ross DjH3max, your bearded friend, did today.\n\nOh well, it's too late for that now. Eventually, night falls and you head back home. Time for [[bed|sleep]].
You are very careful as you walk along the cracked red bricked bridge, cautiously stepping over the large holes.\n\nYou accidentally kick a few small rocks and you watch the tiny rocks fall through a hole in front of you and plummet strange into the boiling pool of lava beneath you.\n\nYou nervously gulp.\n\n"''Man''," You say out loud to yourself, "''I better watch where I'm going!''"\n\nYou confidently step over the hole.\n\n[[This is the part where something bad happens|ending 13]].\n
Straw [[Golems|Golems]] were the second type you discovered.\n\nYou were a bit disappointed when you first made one. They are unsturdy, feeble little things and they are so easy to break, but they were great farmers. They are the ones that are keeping your farm in fantastic shape.\n\nThe only significant Straw Golem that comes to mind is [[Farmer Maggot|Farmer Maggot]], but you haven't seen him in a while. Maybe, just like the other Straw Golems, he had been destroyed by a mob or something. \n\nOh well.
You figure you could help, seeing how you don't have anything planned to do anyway.\n\n"''Sure, mate, why the heck not? After all, it was my idea in the first place''" You reply cockily, puffing out your chest proudly.\n\nRoss just laughs at your enthusiasm, looking relieved that you were going to help him. \n\nHe wanders over to the nearby chest and pulls out a couple of pickaxes and starts hacking away at the marble floor.\n\n"''Let's get started, mate, maybe by the end of the day, we'll have'' [[this monster completed|reflection]]!"
You admit you were a bit stunned for a few seconds, and as a result you are somewhat scorched, but you manage to escape the initial flurry of flames.\n\nYou retreat backwards, pressing your back against a Nether wall, occasionally peering out from your safe shelter to find an opportunity to strike.\n\nIt isn't easy, as the five or so Blazes are angrily spewing their fireballs at the wall.\n\nSuddenly, all of them seemed to stop, their rotating rods slowing down, and you take this opportunity to strike.\n\n[[Wait for a bit|ending 17]].\n[[Unleash your great Thaumaturge power|zap]]!!!!
Ahh yes, your magical golems.\n\nThose bastards are pretty resource intensive, often requiring you to sneak into the resource room and nicking from the barrels, but they are worth it.\n\nAs far as you know, there are six types of golems: [[Wood|Wood Golems]], [[Straw|Straw Golems]], [[Stone|Stone Golems]], [[Iron|Iron Golems]], [[Clay|Clay Golems]], and [[Tallow|Tallow Golems]].\n\nYou aren't entirely sure if there are more types of Golems simply because you haven't discovered them yet. But you aren't worried, your Thauminomicon will show you the way once you're ready.\n\nYou suddenly snap out of your trance and you're staring through the [[window|Window]] once more.
Your blue eyes widen when the greatest idea hits you.\n\n"''Oh, duuuuude, you should make an indoor pool!''" You exclaim excitedly, "''How epic would that be?''"\n\nRoss hesitates for a moment, frowning and pondering over your suggestion.\n\n"''An indoor pool? How would that work?''" The architect questions skeptically, but you aren't deterred.\n\n"''Maaaate! We just knock out a huge hole in the first floor, and fill it up with water! Bam! An indoor pool!''" You shout enthusiastically, firing off ideas, "''We can even put a diving board on the second floor, it'll be great!''"\n\nRoss mulls it over for a bit, then finally nods, adopting a wide grin.\n\n"''Yeah! An indoor pool sounds pretty frickin' awesome!''" The bearded man exclaims. He pauses, "''The thing is, it'll probably take a long time, knocking out the first floor and getting all the water and what not''" \n\n[[You notice the doubt in Ross' eyes|one thing]].\n
It is quite a short walk from your Wizard's Tower to the Marble Tower. Having slender green legs helps you have a greater stride and you walk into the marble building in no time at all.\n\nDespite looking very grandeous and impressive outside, the inside is surprisingly bare, almost hallowed out. Only flickering torches lay scattered on the dusty first floor, providing the room with quite an ample amount of lighting.\n\nYou hear something overhead, similar to a flame burning away on a stove, and you automatically [[look up|Ross]].\n
You decide at that moment you can't be bothered to help.\n\n"''Ooooh, soz, mate, can't help you there I'm afraid!''" You exclaim as you pull a serious face, "''I have stuff to do and what not. You know, wisps to kill, research to be discovered, you know the drill''"\n\nRoss looks a bit crest-fallen, his shoulders drooping, but his frown quickly forms into a small smile.\n\n"''Oh, well, that's too bad then. Good luck then, mate! The rollercoaster probably won't get done today...we'll see''" The architect replies rather sadly. \n\nThe architect waves goodbye as you [[exit the tower|guilty]].
It is tiring and tedious work but after a whole day you and Ross manage to build that pretty cool indoor pool.\n\nThe pool covers about most of the first floor, about 20 feet from end to end. It took a ton of time pumping the water into the deep hole, but the moment it was filled to the brim, you and Ross took your suits off and dove headfirst into the pool.\n\nThe water feels cold, great against your skin after a hard day's work. You and Ross splash around a bit, chasing after each other, playing pool games, seeing who could hold their breath the longest (you won by the way).\n\n"''We did a good job, didn't we?''" The architect asks after he pulls himself out of the pool, dripping wet.\n\nYou look at Ross and grin widely, feeling extremely accomplished.\n\n"[[Yeah, yeah we did|ending 4]]!"
[[BOOM POW POW POW CRSSHHH WOAH SUPER COOL EXPLOSION|easy]].
"''Well, Trott, it's not like Blazes are really frickin' HARD TO KILL, OKAY?!''" You quip, crossing your arms angrily. "''I even lost my Wand of Lightning to those fiery bastards!''"\n\nInstead of sympathizing you, the walrus just laughs heartily, placing the blaze rods on the desk.\n\n"''Good, that means less destruction comin' from you!''" \n\nYou scowl bitterly as Trottimus resumes tinkering with whatever machine he was playing with, and you turn to leave.\n\n"''Wait, Smiff!''"\n\nYou whirl around to face the walrus.\n\n"[[What|doki doki]]?"\n\n
You hear another cry, this time a bit louder and you jump at how close it sounds. You can't see far ahead, for the smoke is blocking your view but you edge forward, your shaking green hand on your Wand of Lightning.\n\nYou figure you are getting close to the source of the sound because the noises are getting louder. \n\nYou wonder what's at the end of the path.\n\n[[Let's find out|up 4]]!\n
You keep walking forward, stepping along the red bricked road, a bit disturbed by the brain-like texture of the walls.\n\nThe frightening atmosphere of the Nether creeped you out sometimes, and you feel like if you stare at the walls too long, the lines and cracks seem to actually blend together and....move.\n\nIt doesn't help that you cant't see far ahead of you, with all the smoke and all.\n\nSuddenly, you hear a low soft groan, similar to a child crying up ahead. You are curious, but wary.\n\n[[Boldly go where no one has gone before|up 3]].
[[Iron Golems|Golems]] are the sturdiest ones, and probably the most powerful. They are designed to destroy mobs and knock the shite out of them and you can't help but feel excited! Your very own golem bodyguards!\n\nYou haven't actually made any yet, but when you do, you'll have your own little golem army.
As you sluggishly continue forward, the smoke clears and your blue eyes widen. \n\nYou are outside once more, this time on some sort of red bricked balcony overlooking a large lake of lava.\n\nBut you aren't amazed at the sight, oh no, but rather you are stupidly gawking at the massive white tentacled hovering beast with piercing red eyes, groaning and moaning.\n\n"[[OH SHIT SON|ending 12]]".
You decide it isn't worth bothering that group of Zombie Pigmen. Besides! They're just standing about, oinking and what not. You remember that they're passive anyway, and attacking them would be a brutal mistake.\n\nYou head towards the gaping maw of the red-bricked Nether Fortress. It stands tall, very formidable in its appearance. You walk across the crumbling bridge carefully, making sure you don't fall through a crack and sent tumbling down into the lava below.\n\nWalking ahead, you stop at junction and the path splits into three: one going straight ahead, another to your left and another to your right.\n\n[[Go straight|up]].\n[[Go left|left]].\n[[Go right|eep]].
You decide to take the path on your left, because no one takes the left path anyway.\n\n[[Keep going|left 2]].
