Grian's 3rd Life: Episode 1

**Grian plays Minecraft... With a TWIST** is Grian's first episode of 3rd Life. It was uploaded on April 20, 2021.

## Plot

Grian gives a brief explanation of the server and its rules before jumping into the episode, where we can see Grian get some basic tools, looting a Broken Nether Portal and finding (and subsequently scaring) Bigbst4tz2. The pair are joined by TangoTek and SmallishBeans, and they all start showing off the stuff they've obtained so far.

When the night hits, Bigbst4tz2 and Grian head over to a village and scare InTheLittleWoods, who had just found some diamonds. InTheLittleWoods decided to give two diamonds to both of the others, and Grian gave him a golden apple in return.

After scaring Rendog, Grian sets his sight on an area and ends up building a starter base on the side of a mountain, which he expresses dissatisfaction with. Grian finds a dark oak forest, and ends up meeting with a group by the village from earlier. Amongst this group is GoodTimesWithScar, who asks and receives a flint and steel from Grian; and EthosLab, who Grian ends up showing villagers who he had hid underground when he first visited the village. This, however, does not remain secret for long, and soon everyone in the village becomes aware of their existence.

Grian is witness to GoodTimesWithScar's burning of the Village's "historical" dark oak tree, and he ends up discussing ideas of monopolizing sand and dark oak with him, and the pair end up heading together to the Desert to evaluate whether their hypothetical sand monopoly is even possible. After discussing their ideas a bit more, Grian gets called to the Village, where TangoTek, EthosLab, ImpulseSV, BdoubleO100 and ZombieCleo offer him some items in exchange for Grian allowing them to use his villagers and build a trading hall. GoodTimesWithScar joins in after a bit of negotiating, and Grian ends up accepting the offer.

InTheLittleWoods joins the group and makes a creeper noise, scaring the group. While he's advertising for Renchanting, Grian sees a creeper and decides it'd be a good idea to aggro it and lead it through the group in order to scare them. While he's doing so, however, he lets the creeper get too close to him, and it ends up exploding, which kills GoodTimesWithScar, and takes his Green Life.

After GoodTimesWithScar comes back, Grian, feeling bad about how his prank ended up taking GoodTimesWithScar's first life, offers GoodTimesWithScar his "Green Life", meaning that he'll do whatever GoodTimesWithScar wants until he loses his own first life. This forms what is widely known among the community as the Sand People. GoodTimesWithScar ends up taking Grian to the Desert on top of a llama he decides to name "Pizza". On the way, they get what they can from Grian's Starter Base, which is now officially abandoned.

Once they're at the Desert, they choose a specific mountain that overlooks the entire area to build their base. They also discuss the idea of building a wall to guard the sand, and Grian begins torching up some of the land. They then head off to the dark oak forest, which they believe to be the only source of dark oak saplings on the server, and chop it all down. They then store away all of the dark oak in chests, and all of the saplings in their inventory, and Grian ends his episode, and the session by proxy.

## Description

Grian starts a new series called 3rd Life - a Minecraft experience with a twist. What will happen? We don't know. How long will it last? We definitely don't know. All we know is, this isn't anything like Hermitcraft...
