EthosLab's Double Life: Episode 4

**Hitmen Revenge** is EthosLab's fourth episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on July 8, 2022.

## Plot

The episode starts with EthosLab and SmallishBeans at the Relation Ship. SmallishBeans shows EthosLab that he got diamonds for tools, and they craft cobblestone and deepslate stairs as they plan to mess with the warden. EthosLab bridges out with cobblestone across the ravine, and he and SmallishBeans try to use fishing rods on the warden; they find that they can hook the warden and pull it upwards. InTheLittleWoods joins EthosLab and SmallishBeans with his own fishing rod, believing that they can get the warden out of the ravine if they work together.

Grian joins the group, and the others hook him on their fishing rods, causing him to fall into the ravine. SmallishBeans, EthosLab, and InTheLittleWoods hook Grian with their fishing rods again and launch him into the air several times before he lands back on the cobblestone ledge. The four continue playing with the fishing rods and manage to pull the warden upwards near Smajor1995 and ZombieCleo’s bridge, only for the warden to die upon landing on the cliffside.

Grian gives TangoTek, who’s upset by the death, the sculk catalyst that the warden dropped upon death. The group then uses their fishing rods to pull Solidarity out of the ravine several times. EthosLab and SmallishBeans head to the Ranch where TangoTek and Solidarity have set up a memorial for the warden. Solidarity asks the several people present for offerings at the gravestone, and EthosLab learns that the warden was named ‘Rancher’s Revenge’. Solidarity and TangoTek suggest that EthosLab give his back to the warden, and both EthosLab and SmallishBeans twerk on the grave.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab return to their ship, and EthosLab spawns chickens in the chicken farm before the two of them go mining for diamonds. They try to enter a mineshaft but almost get killed by mobs several times before giving up. They go to the surface where they find InTheLittleWoods asking them for wool from their sheep farm and inviting them to a pool party at ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100’shouse. He tells them what facilities there will be, and EthosLab and SmallishBeans agree to go.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab craft diamond armor and go to the ancient city to enchant but find the enchanting table missing. They go to the Ranch and ask Solidarity and TangoTek if they have the enchanting table, but Solidarity and TangoTek tell them they don’t. EthosLab and SmallishBeans decide to be detectives to solve the case of the missing enchanting table.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab go to BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV’s house for the pool party, but BdoubleO100 tells them they’re at the pre-party. SmallishBeans and EthosLab interrogate GoodTimesWithScar and BdoubleO100, and BdoubleO100 reveals that GoodTimesWithScar took the enchanting table. Grian, PearlescentMoon, SmallishBeans, and EthosLab play around pulling each other up with their fishing rods. They eventually make a chain of Grian pulling SmallishBeans pulling PearlescentMoon pulling EthosLab pulling ImpulseSV; however, this causes SmallishBeans and EthosLab to die from fall damage, making them red names.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab respawn in the Relation Ship, and SmallishBeans explains that he tried to water bucket, but it didn’t work. They head towards ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100’s house to recover their items, planning on killing the others if they don’t give up the items. They meet ZombieCleo at her bridge and explain that Grian killed SmallishBeans with a fishing rod; ZombieCleo decides to come with them.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab reach ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100’s house and accuse Grian of killing them. Scott shows them a chest with all the items he could pick up, but they find several diamond armor pieces and tools missing. EthosLab hits GoodTimesWithScar, suspecting that he stole a chestplate, but GoodTimesWithScar points out that PearlescentMoon is holding a diamond chestplate in her hand. They demand that she give it back, but she runs away with SmallishBeans and EthosLab chasing her.

EthosLab threatens to put powder snow on PearlescentMoon, but SmallishBeans points out that they are red names now, meaning that they can kill her. EthosLab asks ImpulseSV for his horse and ImpulseSV gives his horse to EthosLab. EthosLab and SmallishBeans continue chasing and hitting PearlescentMoon, but she refuses to give the items despite Scott telling her that his life isn’t worth it. PearlescentMoon eventually turns around, but it’s too late by then; SmallishBeans kills her, exclaiming that she shouldn’t have messed with them.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab quickly pick up and divide their items. Scott states that he saw it coming, so he set his spawn inside the base just in case. He tells them that if they want to burn a base, they should go for PearlescentMoon’s tower. BdoubleO100 offers to help them if they need anything, and they ask him for the enchanting table; he promises them that GoodTimesWithScar has it. They suspect BdoubleO100 of being an accomplice of GoodTimesWithScar, but BdoubleO100 states he tried to stop GoodTimesWithScar from taking the table and that GoodTimesWithScar threatened to burn it.

PearlescentMoon arrives to retrieve her stuff, and EthosLab and SmallishBeans give her some items, claiming that some of it got lost. PearlescentMoon claims she was about to give EthosLab and SmallishBeans their items back when they killed her. EthosLab accidentally gives PearlescentMoon SmallishBeans’s crossbow, and she refuses to give it back; SmallishBeans chases PearlescentMoon, threatening to kill her again. EthosLab gives PearlescentMoon her powder snow bucket back, and he and SmallishBeans leave.

SmallishBeans and EthosLab get poisoned by a witch; EthosLab goes underground to recover, and he and SmallishBeans almost die. They go to the Red Velvet Keep where they confront Grian and GoodTimesWithScar. They ask GoodTimesWithScar if he has the enchanting table; GoodTimesWithScar lies that he doesn’t. EthosLab notices Grian’s new above-ground sugarcane farm; Grian pretends it’s a mangrove forest.

SmallishBeans tells GoodTimesWithScar that he and EthosLab will kill people for him if he lets them use the enchanting table. Grian tells SmallishBeans and EthosLab that their deaths were PearlescentMoon’s fault; they tell Grian that PearlescentMoon has paid for her sins, but that GoodTimesWithScar still needs to pay for his sin, namely stealing the enchanting table. EthosLab checks the chest in GoodTimesWithScar’s secret stash but finds nothing there.

Grian and GoodTimesWithScar maintain that they don’t know where the enchanting table is. SmallishBeans and EthosLab tell them not to lie and threaten to burn the pandas. SmallishBeans heads over to the reserve and kills a panda, telling GoodTimesWithScar that he’ll kill a panda for every time GoodTimesWithScar lies. EthosLab steals steak from the donation chest. GoodTimesWithScar tells SmallishBeans he won’t let them have magic until he apologizes; SmallishBeans apologizes and promises to breed the pandas.

GoodTimesWithScar then tells SmallishBeans and EthosLab that ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100 have been making webs of lies to separate soulmate couples and that they have the enchanting table; SmallishBeans and EthosLab believe this. GoodTimesWithScar mentions that they’re also anti-horners. SmallishBeans states that he doesn’t have a horn anymore as someone stole it when he died, and Grian gives SmallishBeans a horn. GoodTimesWithScar offers EthosLab a horn, but EthosLab tells him he already has one.

SmallishBeans complains that he hasn’t gotten enchanted yet. EthosLab notices that both Grian and GoodTimesWithScar have enchanted gear. Grian explains that he enchanted his gear when the enchanting table was still in the deep dark, and GoodTimesWithScar mentions that he went to deep dark with BdoubleO100 this session and got his gear enchanted before BdoubleO100 took the table.

GoodTimesWithScar exclaims that he’ll tell EthosLab and SmallishBeans where the enchanting table is if they retrieve GoodTimesWithScar’s diamond horse armor from BdoubleO100. EthosLab agrees to the deal, and he and SmallishBeans leave. EthosLab steals GoodTimesWithScar’s horse on the way out to ensure that GoodTimesWithScar will uphold the deal. However, SmallishBeans overhears GoodTimesWithScar saying that he has the enchanting table in his inventory.

EthosLab rides GoodTimesWithScar’s horse to the Ranch and donates it to Solidarity and TangoTek. They thank EthosLab, and EthosLab instructs them to take good care of it and not give it back to GoodTimesWithScar. BdoubleO100 shows up at the Ranch, showing off the new brown horse he bred, which happens to be wearing the diamond horse armor. EthosLab asks if he can try to ride on it, but BdoubleO100 pretends to be stuck to the horse.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans return to the Relation Ship where they find Scott and ZombieCleo waiting for them. Scott and ZombieCleo offer EthosLab and SmallishBeans four diamonds in exchange for them assassinating Solidarity and TangoTek. EthosLab and SmallishBeans explain that they just made friends with Solidarity and TangoTek, but Scott and ZombieCleo claim that Solidarity and TangoTek threatened them and were planning on hiring SmallishBeans and EthosLab to assassinate them.

Scott mentions that Solidarity and TangoTek plan on bringing another warden to the surface. SmallishBeans states that that would bring chaos, and he and EthosLab love chaos. Scott claims that angering Solidarity and TangoTek will bring chaos quicker. He offers to give them two diamonds before the deed and two diamonds after.

ZombieCleo mentions that she’s impressed that it took SmallishBeans four sessions to get to his red life, SmallishBeans reminds her that he ended her series last time and even killed her twice; ZombieCleo doesn’t remember. EthosLab notices Solidarity and TangoTek heading towards Grian’s base.

BdoubleO100 comes along with some gossip; he tells the group that Solidarity and TangoTek plan to breed horses and then charging people for them, so BdoubleO100 suggests that they steal a horse. Scott notes that there are still wild horses on the map, and EthosLab tells BdoubleO100 that he and SmallishBeans gave GoodTimesWithScar’s horse to the Ranchers, so it would be weird if they were to now kill the horse. BdoubleO100 leaves after SmallishBeans shoots him with a crossbow.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans discuss whether they should take ZombieCleo and Scott’s deal; they hesitate because Solidarity and TangoTek have been good to them. ZombieCleo points out that it would be funny since TangoTek would be raging again. InTheLittleWoods arrives at the ship and the group notices that TangoTek is enchanting; EthosLab and SmallishBeans instantly take the deal.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans prepare for the assassination; EthosLab kills chickens for feathers, and they discuss different strategies, considering that Solidarity and TangoTek are on a platform in the sky with GoodTimesWithScar and Grian. EthosLab and SmallishBeans react to BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV’s death. EthosLab, SmallishBeans, ZombieCleo, and Scott make their way to the Red Velvet Keep while InTheLittleWoods builds up with wood under the platform, hoping to set it on fire that way.

EthosLab and SmallishBeans set some pandas on fire in the sanctuary, and GoodTimesWithScar jumps down from the platform, landing with an MLG water bucket. He tells EthosLab and SmallishBeans to get out of the sanctuary, which they do. EthosLab shoots at the platform with a crossbow while the people on the platform drop dripstone down. EthosLab manages to shoot Solidarity, causing him to fall off the platform to his death, taking TangoTek down with him.

The group picks up Solidarity’s items and SmallishBeans and EthosLab ask for their payment while GoodTimesWithScar gets away in a boat, which is where the episode ends.
