Minecraft, But I'm Being Hunted Down...

**Minecraft, But I'm Being Hunted Down...** is the fourth episode of the Minecraft Manhunt series, the third hunter episode, and the first episode in which George is the runner and Dream is a hunter.

## Synopsis

### **Beginning Chase**

Starting in a forest, George takes off trying to escape Dream, although he is unsuccessful. The chase takes them across rivers and to a desert where they come upon a village. George challenges Dream to let him go in favor of collecting loot. Dream decides to go to the blacksmith while George collects hay bales; this proves to be bad for George as Dream finds iron, an iron pickaxe, iron armor and obsidian.

### **Collecting Resources**

George runs away to a forest where he is able to collect wood and iron, until he emerges from a cave and spots Dream quickly approaching and is forced to flee into the ocean. Dream gives chase in a boat, prompting George to return to land. He gets enough of a lead to make a boat of his own and escape in it. At a sunflower plain he stops to kill sheep for their meat, but his errand is cut short when he catches Dream running up behind him.

### **Mid-Hunt Chase**

They reach a river and George quickly deploys his boat to escape. Dream tries and fails to get in George's boat before giving chase in his own boat. George goes through a narrow channel and tries to place a block in it to hinder Dream, but places it on the shore instead and is forced to continue rowing away. The boat chase takes them down the very long river, past several different biomes until they reach an ocean. Soon they come to underwater ruins that curiously generated on the land next to the water. George abandons his boat to get at the loot before Dream, although he only gets a golden helmet and a stone axe. George finds a deep cave in a roofed forest and collects a lot of iron, and returns to the surface to smelt it, but is surprised by Dream dropping from the canopy and driving him away before stealing much of the iron and taunting George to try to take it back. In a swamp, George finds a ravine bisecting an abandoned mineshaft and begins collecting iron again. He sets up a small base in the mineshaft to smelt the iron and cook meat as well as collecting lava. Soon he spots Dream's name approaching from above. He sneaks through the mineshaft to the ravine as Dream drops in and finds his base. He catches George towering out of the ravine and builds after him. George tries to dump lava on Dream, though he avoids it. George reaches the top and sprints off, although it's not long before Dream catches up. George stops to eat and tries to set Dream on fire, though he miraculously avoids it. They find a lava pool and Dream pours water over it to George's dismay. They find a village next to a desert temple; George passes both by while Dream loots the temple and gets an enchanted golden apple from it. George returns to the ruined lava pool and digs around it to find source blocks and begins casting a Nether portal, but he is hindered by zombies and a pillager patrol. As George pours the lava for the final block of the portal, he is attacked by a zombie as Dream spots it, causing the lava to flow around the portal causing cobblestone to be formed within the frame, preventing George from lighting the portal before Dream places a block of obsidian in the frame. The chase resumes and George dives into the ocean, but loops back to make a boat. Dream breaks the boat before George can escape, and when George tries to place it again it glitches and disappears before reappearing in George's hotbar, allowing him to place it and escape. Dream blunders and tries to use an Ender pearl to catch up to George, but it ends up dropping into an undersea ravine. Taking advantage of Dream's delay, George loops back to his portal and begins mining the obsidian, but since he is using a stone pickaxe he can't break it before Dream reappears and drives him away again. George escapes by boat again and resolves to find another lava pool. He is able to do so quickly and makes a new portal, having extra time due to Dream being mobbed by more pillagers, and escapes into the Nether just as Dream arrives on the scene.

### **Nether Hunt**

George runs off after arriving in the Nether, closely followed by Dream. George is able to escape as the tracking compass doesn't work outside the Overworld, although he remains on guard. George finds a fortress and soon acquires four diamonds from a loot chest. During this time, Dream sets up a small camp in the Overworld by the portal, setting his spawn with a bed and storing all his things in a chest, aside from his shield and a stone pickaxe. Dream returns to the Nether and uses the pickaxe to break one block from the portal frame, closing the portal from the Nether side, and jumps into the lava ocean to die and respawn in the Overworld, pretending (rather unconvincingly) that his death was a blunder. He places more obsidian over the portal in the Overworld, as he thinks incorrectly that blocks cannot be broken while standing inside a Nether portal. George finds a blaze spawner and collects seven rods before beginning his trek back to the portal, and makes a feeble attempt to make Dream think he found obsidian in the fortress and will make a new portal. Dream finds diamonds while mining. George finds the broken portal, shocked to see Dream's handiwork. He makes a diamond pickaxe and collects one of the portal's corner blocks and uses it to repair the portal. He returns and breaks through Dream's obsidian, as Dream is still away, and kills sheep as he runs off, continuing to talk as if he is still trapped and telling Dream to come into the Nether and kill him rather then wait for him to die on his own.

### **Post-Nether Chase**

Dream returns to his camp and finds the broken obsidian, dumbfounding him. He quickly tracks down George, as he did not run as far as he thought he did. George escapes in a boat, but Dream again catches up to him while he collects food, getting him down to one heart. George slows Dream down by placing water in his path and escapes by boat again. Dream falls into a ravine while running to the riverside. Dream enchants his armor and sword, and George soon thereafter finds an Enderman in a taiga and gets his first Ender pearl and subsequent Eye of Ender from it. George follows the Eye but it incidentally leads him straight to Dream. They engage in another boat chase, from which George escapes and follows the Eye to a savannah where Dream finds him again. George reembarks in his boat at a lake beside a village, but Dream is able to get in with him. After some rowing about, George hops out and runs into the village, while Dream becomes glitched and stuck in the boat momentarily. George is able to knock Dream into a ravine in the middle of the village, where he lands in lava and eats his enchanted golden apple to survive, before realizing he had a spare water bucket and wasted the apple.

### **Stronghold Hunt and Defeat**

George locates and enters the stronghold and begins searching around for the portal and loot. Dream soon arrives in the stronghold and quickly finds George, chasing him throughout the awkwardly loaded hallways. George finds the portal room and deposits his single Eye, before digging into the wall and patching his hole with stone bricks, then digging up to the surface before hunting down Endermen in the area. Dream soon realizes that George has left the stronghold, and after a long time waiting in the portal room decides to search for him. A brief chase ensues on the surface before George is able to slow Dream with water again and return to the stronghold. As he prepares to enter the End, Dream falls to his death while going down a hole into the stronghold. Delighted, George gloats and steps through the portal. Unbeknownst to him, however, Dream made a failsafe by hiding a bed in a wall and set his spawn there, and quickly follows George without any gear, simply punching him and sending him falling into the abyss below, sealing his first victory as a hunter and George's first loss as a runner.
