Sun 6 Feb 0300 to 0400 UTC Teacher Vance and Bobbi Bear volunteered as helpdesk in ZOOM and on the EVOMC22 server. In the video, Teacher Vance starts off with a cunning plan to recover his death chest which he lost in combat with pillagers at the pillager outpost on the road from Sverd i Fjell to Dak's protected village Strongfield just south of there.  It's hard to recover a death chest in the overwhelming presence of hostile mobs, so Bobbi Bear went into creative mode and built a fully-enclosed glass house around my death chest, leaving herself within. I was then able to /tp to her and recover its contents in survival mode in safety. We then put ourselves in creative mode, destroyed the glass house, and wandered among the pillagers and explored their outpost, impressive from the outside, but disappointingly sparse in the interior. 

From there we returned to Sverd i Fjell and rode on the striders who were wandering about there untethered (making them much easier to ride, plenty of warped mushrooms on sticks in the chests nearby). We then warped to the conference venue at /warp conf22, Sura's fantasy build in the desert at the south east edge of our known world, and explored the elevated rail tracks Dak had built there. We made our way to his huge nearby beached whale building and explored how to get in there, eventually coming out on the caverns beneath it and exploring the rail system underground.

We discovered this might go better on a better guided tour, but we emerged back at the conference site with a quarter hour to spare in our Helpdesk time, so we warped over to Sura's 2021 spawn point /warp sura2021spawn and showed where Bobbi had refilled Sura's coffers with supplies and weapons, there for the taking by anyone who wants to warp there.

From there we flew over the jungle on the opposite shore to Dak's pyramid and oriented on that to work our way south to where Mattie and Jane have invited us to participate in a maze race later today. We made sure to get screen shots of the maze to give ourselves a leg up in the races, and to reward anyone else who reads this before the event tonight with a bird's-eye-view of the secret playing field.
