Grian's 3rd Life: Episode 2

**WELCOME TO SANDLAND** is Grian's second episode of 3rd Life. It was uploaded on April 27, 2021.

## Plot

After explaining his current situation, Grian meets up with GoodTimesWithScar and discusses what scams they could get up to. InTheLittleWoods and TangoTek eventually come along and tell the pair that Pizza is "dead". ZombieCleo then comes along and asks for dark oak saplings, although they deny it.

GoodTimesWithScar then asks for ZombieCleo's chestplate, and she gives it to him, believing it'll allow her access to the dark oak, although GoodTimesWithScar simply adds to her score on a "Reputation Point" system he seemingly just invented. GoodTimesWithScar then claims the Desert is closed and orders Grian to chase them away with a lava bucket, although Grian just ends up burning himself.

After scaring away Smajor1995 and InTheLittleWoods, who were attempting to steal sand, Grian comes back to GoodTimesWithScar while he's in the middle of convincing TangoTek of the same Reputation Point Scam he convinced ZombieCleo to do, although with his pants this time around. He succeeds, and the pair goes back to Monopoly Mountain, meeting SmallishBeans on the way, who is seemingly stealing some sand. They try to chase him away with the lava bucket, although GoodTimesWithScar ends up convincing him to the Reputation Point Scam and gets his diamond sword.

GoodTimesWithScar tells Grian about his idea to build a board for his Reputation Points with different factions, and ends up convincing the passerby EthosLab to give him his boots for said points, despite Grian's attempts to warn him of the scam. After this is done, Smajor1995, SmallishBeans, InTheLittleWoods and Solidarity come along and plant a dark oak tree with saplings of their own, showing those present that the possibility of a dark oak monopoly has vanished.

After they leave, Grian goes mining for ores and diamonds, and almost dies to a creeper. Once he runs out of food, he goes back up and meets GoodTimesWithScar by a lake, and the pair goes back to Monopoly Mountain to mine a bit more. Grian comes back up first and meets Bigbst4tz2, whom he warns of GoodTimesWithScar's Reputation scam. He also sets up a bunch of pressure plates randomly across the top of Monopoly Mountain in order to scare any possible thieves or assassins.

Once GoodTimesWithScar comes back up and is explained what the pressure plates are for, GoodTimesWithScar attempts to scam Bigbst4tz2. Grian submerges him in cobwebs in order to allow Bigbst4tz2 to "escape" the businessman, although he ends up getting to the man anyway, and Bigbst4tz2 gives GoodTimesWithScar some diamonds in exchange for a good bit of reputation.

Once Grian's alone, he does a time-lapse building a sand tower on top of Monopoly Mountain, and then spends some time making fun of the tower's supposed resemblance to himself. He also explains that he and GoodTimesWithScar are planning to build a wall around the desert to keep the sand safe. He then does a quick recap on the events of the session, and ends up going to the second dark oak forest the other players had gone to for more saplings.

After a close call with a creeper, Grian goes back to Monopoly Mountain and explains that while they were building, Skizzleman had seen Pizza alive and well somewhere. He then ends the episode claiming they would go on a mission to save Pizza next session.
