Grian's 3rd Life: Episode 4

**I HAVE A PLAN** is Grian's fourth episode of 3rd Life. It was uploaded on May 11, 2021.

## Plot

Grian starts the session by describing his future plans for the Cactus Wall surrounding Sandland, and clarifying that he cannot directly kill anyone, but the contract still allows for GoodTimesWithScar to order him to make lethal traps. Grian meets up with GoodTimesWithScar, and debriefs him on his plans for the Cactus Wall. GoodTimesWithScar tells Grian about his plans to steal Bigbst4tz2’s Cookie, only for Grian to remind him that his job as a Red Name is to take everyone's lives. GoodTimesWithScar "compromises" on doing both that session. They trap an Enderman in a boat for protection.

The video flashes forward to GoodTimesWithScar talking to Rendog at Renchanting, and Grian pranking GoodTimesWithScar by shooting him with an arrow out of nowhere. The video flashes forward again, to the Nether Portal by the Crastle grounds, and Grian leaving GoodTimesWithScar to do "business" while he went to the Nether. Grian mines some quartz, then comes back to the Overworld.

The video flashes forward once more, to Grian in Sandland with GoodTimesWithScar and Skizzleman, and their shocked reaction to SmallishBeans’ first death. GoodTimesWithScar then tells Grian that Solidarity and Smajor1995 had breached their defenses, and the pair and Skizzleman go up to meet them. Solidarity, Smajor1995 and Skizzleman go to look at the Reputation Board, and GoodTimesWithScar and Grian stay behind, and they agree that, since only the latter knows how to make traps, he'll be in charge of them henceforth.

The pair then notice the Enderman has aggro-ed, and GoodTimesWithScar gleefully breaks the boat. The Enderman attacks Smajor1995, and they briefly squabble until Smajor1995 traps him in another boat and kills him. They briefly discuss how silly GoodTimesWithScar looks carrying around a "balloon" until Grian reminds GoodTimesWithScar they have a "date" with Rendog, and the pair, with Skizzleman in tow, leave.

On the way, Grian discusses his "instant-death" traps with GoodTimesWithScar. They try to bribe Skizzleman with a Sand-Pass to make him distract Rendog. Skizzleman, being loyal to Rendog, questions what they plan to do, and calls them out for lying when they say they want to return his Enchanting Table. He refuses their offer, and GoodTimesWithScar takes away his "Friend-Pass".

The pair agrees that GoodTimesWithScar will now serve as a distraction while Grian sets up the instant-death trap. Skizzleman tries to warn Rendog, but is dissuaded by the duo when they re-instate his "Friend-Pass". The pair also try to get Etho to join them, but he refuses to do anything against Rendog. Solidarity's death message is then shown in chat.

The pair enter Renchanting, and meet with Rendog, InTheLittleWoods and Skizzleman. GoodTimesWithScar gives Grian a signal, and the latter signals Grian to start setting up the trap. Skizzleman and InTheLittleWoods trail him for a bit, asking what he is doing, but they get distracted and leave Grian alone. Grian quickly sets up the trap at the front of Renchanting, disguising it as "the Enchantment Table being returned", and goes back inside. The pair try to leave, and are questioned by the other three players. GoodTimesWithScar says they have an operation to "steal Bigbst4tz2's cookie", which they do not buy. The pair leaves just as Solidarity and Smajor1995 enter Renchanting.

The pair go up to Bigbst4tz2's House in order to get a good vantage point on the trap. They, alongside Bigbst4tz2, observe as Smajor1995, InTheLittleWoods and Solidarity remove the Enchanting Table, only for the trap not to work. The duo are disappointed, and take advantage of Bigbst4tz2's absence to steal his cookie. Smajor1995 and Bigbst4tz2 return, and the former informs them that they are trying to disarm the bomb. They call out GoodTimesWithScar on stealing Bigbst4tz2's cookie, which GoodTimesWithScar vehemently denies. Solidarity then accidentally sets off the bomb, taking him and Skizzleman down to Red, and Rendog down to Yellow. Grian starts laughing maniacally while Smajor1995 expresses his shock.

Smajor1995 tells Grian that now "Two Red Hearts are out for your blood", and GoodTimesWithScar returns Bigbst4tz2's Cookie, apologizing for his "lapse in judgement". Rendog, Skizzleman and InTheLittleWoods meet them, and the first two expresses their anger at the trap. GoodTimesWithScar pushes Rendog off a cliff, and gets hits with a Fire Aspect Sword. Both survive. Smajor1995 warns Grian and GoodTimesWithScar to up their defenses, and Grian proposes to get the two new Red Names to come help them.

GoodTimesWithScar informs Grian that Bigbst4tz2 has a "No-Kill Pass", meaning he is now immune from any attacks from the Desert Folk. Skizzleman expresses anger at the fact their "Friend Pass" didn't protect him from the trap. Grian, GoodTimesWithScar and Smajor1995 then go to meet Solidarity. Grian briefly wonders whether the series will be "a bit short", and considers making a small Creeper Farm while on the way there.

When they get there, Solidarity expresses his regret about what happened. The Desert Duo and the Hobbits establish a tentative Red Alliance, and they go off to see Skizzleman. They meet him, and Skizzleman expresses his anger at both GoodTimesWithScar and Solidarity.

Grian and GoodTimesWithScar return to Sandland, and they discuss their future plans. GoodTimesWithScar expresses interest in killing BdoubleO100 and ZombieCleo, and they make plans to make a TNT Cannon to siege the Crastle. Grian builds the small Creeper Farm, and once he is finished he realizes he is the last person online. He trades for pufferfish with a Wandering Trader, and talks about how, thanks to his contract, it's like he has two Red Lives. He talks about the triple kill, takes a look at the Reputation Board, and ends the episode.
