Hero in Residence/Transcript

The following is a transcript of Episode 1: Hero in Residence of Telltale Games' Minecraft: Story Mode - Season 2.

Lukas: I always liked stories where the hero has no idea that they're destined for greatness. The sort of heroes who are living their lives and assume that nothing exciting will ever happen to them. Those are the kind of heroes in this story. They started as just a bunch of friends in a treehouse, looking up to their idols who had come before them. But when disaster struck, and an evil monstrosity threatened to destroy the world, those friends discovered that heroes can come from the most humble of beginnings. They travelled the world to battle that monster, facing obstacles and sacrifices every step of the way. It wasn’t easy, but they had each other. And working together, they struck it down and saved everyone. Soon, they were the most famous people in the whole world. And their legend, their fame, just continued to grow as they explored more worlds, venturing into the great unknown...

Order Hall[]

Lukas walks down the Order Hall, reading through his journal.

Lukas: “And that’s how those five friends, plus the bravest pig in the world, took their place in history as some of the greatest heroes who ever lived."

Lukas looks up to the stairs, where Jesse, Axel and Olivia are sitting. Olivia nudges Axel from his snoring.

Axel: Ah! Whowahuh? What part are we at? Am I being awesome?

Olivia: (Shakes head) We thought it was great, Lukas. Although... not always technically accurate.

Lukas: Yeah. I mean, well, I definitely exaggerated here and there, but it was for the drama.

Axel: I mean, it made us sound cool, and that's a good thing.

Olivia: Yeah, but it might make people think we did stuff that we didn’t actually do.

Axel: So?

Anything for a good story.
Better to be truthful.
It's your call, Lukas.
...

Jesse: It’s all fair game if it’s helping you to tell a good story. It’s not like you’re lying to, like, trick anyone.

Lukas: Yeah! That's exactly what I thought.

Olivia: If you’re planning on including schematics, we should talk, though.

Lukas: I think I'm okay...

Jesse: I dunno, Lukas. If there’s one thing our adventures taught me, it’s better to just be truthful. Let history speak for itself.

Lukas: I guess I can pull back on some of the, uh... the exaggerations.

Axel: Yeah. Like the part with the magic chicken? Talk about implausible.

Lukas: Uh... that actually happened.

Axel: Oh. Right.

Jesse: You’re the writer, Lukas. I know you’ll make the right call.

Lukas: Thank you, Jesse.

Lukas: Well, I’m proud of it. I will look into the embellishments, though.

Axel: Yeah. Like the part with the magic chicken? Talk about implausible.

Lukas: Uh... that actually happened.

Axel: Oh. Right.

Lukas: I had been hoping to have it ready to read at Founding Day, but, uh... next year.

Olivia: I can’t believe it’s Founding Day already. Sneaks up on me every time.

Jesse: Congrats, buddy. I'm proud of you for finishing it. That took a lot of work.

Lukas: I'm glad you liked it. You did so much, Jesse. You're a real hero.

Axel: But... we all did, right?

Olivia: Yeah. We were ALL there.

Axel: For, uh, most of it, anyway.

Lukas: That's true... um...

You guys jealous?
We did it together.
But I'M the leader.
...

Jesse: (Teasing) Aww, are you guys jealous? You guys jelly?

Axel: No! Ugh.

Olivia: (Chuckles) Of course not.

Lukas: Hey, whoa, whoa, guys, come on.

Jesse: Hey, come on, guys. We all did it together. We’re the Order of the Stone, after all.

Lukas: It is a good note, though. I’ll keep that in mind when I’m editing.

Jesse: Well, I mean, I am the leader, you guys. It’s just the way it happened.

Olivia: If you say so...

Axel: Yeah... kinda self-centered though.

Olivia: To be fair... Jesse DID do a lot of stuff. You can’t argue with the facts.

Lukas: That is true.

Axel: I guess...

Lukas: Well, this has all been really helpful feedback, guys. (Closes book) Once Ivor and Harper get back from their adventures, I can add a chapter about them... and then it will finally be done.

Axel: Man, they've been gone a long time.

Olivia looks at the entrance of the Order Hall. The door slowly opens, as Radar walks inside.

Olivia: Jesse. Your intern.

Radar: Jesse?

Jesse: Oh! Hey, Radar.

Radar: Oh, gosh. Wow. I didn't know all of you would be in here. Olivia, ma'am. Axel, sir. Lukas, sir. So sorry to interrupt everyone.

Olivia: (Whispers) Aw... he is just adorable.

Radar: My deepest, sincerest, utmost apologies if I’ve caused any inconvenience.

Don't apologize.
We're busy.
It's cool, Radar.
...

Jesse: (Chuckles) You don't need to apologize. We're just hanging out.

Radar: Right, sorry. Uh- uh- sorry. I mean, uh-

Olivia: Aw...

Jesse: So... what's up?

Jesse: Yeah, uh, we're actually in the middle of this, Radar.

Olivia: If you don't mind.

Radar: Oh my gosh and that's why I am so sorry.

Jesse: So... what's up?

Jesse: Radar, don't be so formal. Cut it out, with all the "sir" and "ma'am" stuff.

Radar: Right-o. Right. Awesome.

Axel: I kinda liked it.

Jesse: So... what's up?

Lukas: So... um... what do you need, buddy?

Radar: I got a message from Petra, that she's on her way to the mines. For that adventure you scheduled? If you hurry, you should still have time for that AND your Founding Day duties...

Jesse: Oh, nice! We should get going!

Lukas: Yeah, about that...

Olivia: We've actually got our OWN Founding Day stuff we need to prep for.

Axel: Yeeeah. I need to get back to Boom Town. I'm judging a TNT Rally, in the morning.

Olivia: And I need to finish grading some Redstone assignments.

Lukas: I was really hoping to start in on these revisions...

That's okay.
Wow, that's lame.
But we're a team!
...

Jesse: Aw, that's okay. I get it. You have your life and so do I.

Olivia: Thanks, Jesse.

Axel: Yeah. Thanks.

Jesse: Petra'll never let you hear the end of it, though.

Jesse: Wow, I had no idea you guys had gotten so lame.

Lukas: Come on, we're not lame.

Axel: I mean, you're a little lame...

Olivia: Axel. (To Jesse) But, seriously, you have your life and so do we. None of us can just... drop everything and go adventuring, like we used to.

Jesse: Guys, we're supposed to be a team here! It's out adventure night!

Axel: Sorry, Jesse. It's just that things are different, now. You got your life and we got ours.

Olivia: None of us can just... drop everything and go adventuring, like we used to.

Axel: Sorry, Jesse. It's just that things are different, now. You got your life and we got ours.

Olivia: None of us can just... drop everything and go adventuring, like we used to.

The group get back up and start making their way out of the Order Hall.

Axel: Tell Petra I said next time, for sure. Okay? I can't wait to see how that sword of hers is coming along.

Jesse: Yeah, I'll tell her.

Radar: I can't believe I'm walking out of the Order Hall WITH the Order! Ha!

Olivia: Ahh, so freaking cute!

Beacontown[]

The group leave the Order Hall and make their way past some pillars into Beacontown.

Radar: So... the other towns have Founding Day celebrations, huh?

(Took Ellegaard's Armor in Season 1)
(Took Magnus' Armor in Season 1)

Olivia: Of course! We were all part of taking down the Witherstorm. Redstonia even hosts a whole dance, in Ellegaard’s honor.

Axel: Yeah, it's mostly TNT and fireworks in Boom Town. Magnus let me help design the firework finale, this year.

Axel: Yeah, man! We honor Magnus every year with a freakin' awesome memorial explosion rally. He would've loved it.

Olivia: Over in Redstonia, we're a little higher on the explosions. I helped Ellegaard engineer an excellent new music machine, for the evening ball.

Lukas: Well, I promise I will try and stop by. It was awesome to catch up with you guys.

Axel: Totally!

Olivia: Yeah, this has been great.

Lukas: See ya, Jesse.

See you guys soon.
I really miss you guys.
I'm glad you came.
...

Jesse: I am going to see you all again.

Lukas: (Chuckles) Same time next week.

Jesse: Won't be the same, without you guys.

Axel: Aw, buddy, you're gonna make me sad.

Jesse: I really appreciate you guys coming out like this. I know it's busy.

Axel: Yeah, man. Always love an excuse to visit Beacontown.

Jesse says nothing.

Lukas: Thanks again, guys. I'll let you know as soon as I'm done with the revisions.

Axel: (Sarcastically) Oh, cool. Can't wait.

Olivia: Axel.

Lukas, Axel and Olivia make their way out of the town and back to their homes.

Radar: I tell ya, I am just the luckiest.

Jesse: Yeah?

Radar: Oh, yeah! Getting to work with you, hanging out with the Order, and living in the coolest town in the whole world: Beacontown!

Jesse and Radar make their way down the stairs and through Beacontown. Jesse looks around at the improvements that have been made to the town.

Radar: I realise that some days, you'd rather be out adventuring with your friends. But, I'm really glad you're our leader. You just make this place awesome.

I love adventure!
But I miss my friends.
This place is so cool!
...

Jesse: Yeah, but being out there, adventuring... that's good too.

Radar: I mean... I guess. I've never really been the adventuring type, myself. Too, uh, heh, too dangerous.

Jesse: Yeah... I just wish I could've hung out with my friends more. We're all so busy, now.

Radar: That is hard... but at least they come back to visit a bunch? That's pretty awesome.

Jesse: I really do love this place. And it just keeps getting cooler.

Radar: Right? I love it, too. It’s exactly the kind of home I’d always dreamt of having.

Radar: Sorry. I'm probably getting weird with all the compliments, again. Just being sappy.

Radar: I know that Petra is waiting for you in the mines, but I bet people would really appreciate you helping set up for the celebration.

Jesse: I'll keep that in mind.

Look at Beacon
Look at Ivor's Pad
Look at Tiki Head
Look at Octopus Statue

Jesse: The Rainbow Beacon. It's powered by the Nether Star the Witherstorm dropped.

Radar: Oh, I know! Even before I moved to Beacontown, I came on a trip to see the Beacon... I love this thing.

Jesse: Hope Ivor and Harper are having fun out there, in the portal network. Can’t wait to hear about it when they get back.

Jesse: I bet one of those would look awesome on the Order Hall’s front lawn.

Jesse: (To Radar) You craving seafood?

Radar: Always. Why?

Nell: Jesse dude!

Jesse: Nell! I thought you were out, seeing the worlds?

Nell: Did that! Righteous times! Thought I’d try settling down for a while, though. Like, I love danger and derring-do as much as the next person. But sometimes, you just wanna have a place to store your junk, okay?

So glad you're here!
You picked a great town.
What about adventure?
...

Jesse: Well, I'm so glad you're here!

Nell: Man, that is just the sort of warm welcome I had hoped. You rock, Jesse dude.

Jesse: Well, you picked a great spot. Pretty proud of this town.

Nell: Yeah, dude. It is AWESOME. Lettin’ everybody be themselves, super individualistic, house over there that looks like a squid... righteous.

Jesse: I can’t believe you settled down. I thought you were all about the wandering, the adventure!

Nell: Augh, you make it all sound really good again, when you put it like that.

Nell: Aw, man. Grinning time! I want in!

Nell: Between you and me, I’m worried that I won’t, like, fit in here. S many rad builds, awesome people... I really want to make, like, a good first impression, you know? Which I thought might be helped, if my front yard had a statue by the one and only Jesse.

Jesse: Not sure if I have time, but I'll see what I can do.

Nell: Hey, hey, hey! This is gonna be so cool! Scoop up that clay over there and let's get to business!

Jesse scoops up some nearby clay, then returns to a platform next to Nell's house.

Jesse: Ah, a blank canvas.

Place at Least One Block
Place Nothing

Nell: That is some sweet work. Noice!

Nell: Oh. Uh, not, like, a huge statue... but, uh... minimalism works. Yeah.

Nell: Ooh, Jesse dude. Thanks! (Hugs Jesse)

Jesse: It was my pleasure!

Nell: Well, it is an honor, mi amigo. And don’t be a stranger, okay?

Nell returns to her house.

Radar: Well, she is a... fascinating woman, isn’t she? Very free-spirited.

Jesse: Heh, yeah. Kind of reminds me of Petra, back in her early days. Speaking of whom... you said she's waiting for me at the-

Radar: Mineshaft. Mmhm.

Radar points towards a mineshaft at the other end of the town.

(Optional Interaction) Look at Nell's Statue
...

(Placed at Least One Block)
(Placed Nothing)

Jesse: Not to pat myself on the back TOO hard... but THERE is a statue.

Jesse: I was going for minimal. Striking. And I definitely succeeded.

Jesse passes by Stampy and Stacy. Wink, Stacy's puppy, starts barking and running circles around Jesse.

Jesse: Whoa!

Stacy: Oh, Wink! Get back here! Leave Jesse alone!

Stampy: Hello there, Jesse! I was wondering when we'd run into each other!

Stacy: Thought we'd give this town of yours a try!

Stampy: It's quite lovely!

Stacy: Yeah, and I can't believe how many people are here!

I'm surprised you're here.
Make this dog go away!
We should hang out!
...

Jesse: What are you guys doing here, though?

Stampy: Um, the thrill of adventure, I guess.

Stacy: And the stories of this place sounded awesome.

Jesse: Could you call off your dog, please? It’s kind of freaking me out.

Stacy: Oh, right. Sorry!

Jesse: Well, it's so great to see you! We need to hang out!

Stampy: That sounds wonderful!

Stacy: Yeah, totally!

Stampy: Stacy, um, perhaps you should do something?

Stacy: Oh, right. Sorry!

Jesse: Radar, this is Stacy Plays and Stampy Cat.

Wink continues barking at Jesse.

Stacy: Oh, Wink.

Stacy pulls out some bones from her inventory and gives them to Jesse.

Stacy: Here, Jesse. Give him a bone and he'll calm right down.

Jesse: (Gives bone) Here, Wink. Nice tasty bone?

Wink stops barking and takes the bone.

Stacy: Aww, see? He likes you.

Jesse: Ha, yeah! You want the rest of these back?

Stacy: Nah, hang onto them. I've got TONS. You never know when you're gonna need to tame a wolf.

Jesse: Well, thanks. (Puts bones away)

Stampy: I imagine you’re terribly busy, so we won’t keep you. But, you should come and see what we’re working on, because it’s pretty cool.

Stacy: Yeah, what Stampy said. (Points) Anyway, our place is by the gate.

Jesse: Will do! See you guys later!

Jesse approaches Stampy and Stacy, near the end of Beacontown. They are busy arguing with each other.

Stacy: I am telling you, Stampy. It needs to be pumpkin pie.

Stampy: But cake is the best! And I would know. I have it every morning, for breakfast.

Jesse: There some sort of problem here, guys?

Stampy: Hello, Jesse! We heard about this Founding Day celebration of yours and we thought we’d make some sweets!

Stacy: Yeah, and now I’m trying to convince Mr. Stampy here to make the right decision and pick pumpkin pie.

Stampy: There you go with those leading presentations, again.

Stacy: Just... not everyone likes cake, Stampy.

Stampy: Oh, and pumpkin pie is the universally loved food? I think not.

I'm all about cake.
I love pumpkin pie.
We can have both!
...

Jesse: Well, I'm all about cake, personally. Love that stuff.

Stampy: Haha, yes! Exactly my stance!

Stacy: You don't need to run it in...

Jesse: Ooh, I do love me some pumpkin pie.

Stacy: Ha! See, Stampy? Told you.

Stampy: (Sarcastically) Ohh, yes, yes, fine. You really showed me. (To self) Cake is still better.

Jesse: Why don't we have both?

Stampy: Ohh, that's a wonderful idea. But... we don't have enough ingredients.

Stacy: It's true.

Radar: I, uh, I’m a cookies man, myself.

Stampy and Stacy slowly glare towards Radar.

Radar: Heh. Sorry.

Stacy: Here, you should just take the ingredients and decide for us.

Stacy gives Jesse some wheat, milk buckets, sugar, an egg and a pumpkin.

Stampy: Yes. I fear we're gonna be debating in circles all day, otherwise. Heh.

Radar: (To Jesse) You know... there might be some extra eggs and stuff, around town. I bet you could find enough to do cake AND pie.

Jesse: Hm. Don’t have a ton of time... but I bet they’d be super surprised by that.

Talk to StampyCat & StacyPlays Again
...

Stampy: I am telling you Stacy, you’re just being too narrow-minded with your pastry selection! People. Love. Cake!

Stacy: Right, and SOME people love... PIE.

Jesse: Hey, guys.

Stacy: Hey, Jesse. You wouldn't happen to have made a decision about this whole... cake versus pie thing, yet, have you?

Stampy: Yes. It's still QUITE the source of frustration.

Jesse: Working on it.

Jesse approaches a crafting table and uses their ingredients to craft the Founding Day treats. Jesse returns to Stampy and Stacy.

Give Cake
Give Pie
Give Both

Jesse: Order up! (Gives cake) Got one delicious cake!

Stampy: Ooooh, it looks lovely! (Puts away)

Stacy: Yeah, if you’re into something that sweet...

Jesse: Sorry, Stacy. I had to make a call.

Stacy: Yeah, I guess... well, thank you for the help, Jesse.

Stampy: Yes, thank you!

Jesse: One pie, hot off the table! (Gives pie)

Stacy: Hey, that looks delicious! (Puts away)

Stampy: Yes. Well, you know, mostly.

Jesse: Sorry, Stampy. Had to make a call.

Stampy: I suppose.

Stacy: Well, thank you for the help, Jesse.

Stampy: Yes, thank you!

(If Jesse punched the sugar cane and took the egg)

Jesse: He said cake, she said pie... I said, why don't we have both?

Jesse holds out some cake and pumpkin pie, in both hands.

Stampy: Oh, well, this is very surprising!

Stacy: Yeah, that's awesome! How did you do that?

Jesse: Found some extra ingredients around town. No big deal.

Stampy: Well, that's fantastic, Jesse. Thank you so much!

Stacy: Yeah, thanks! This is perfect!

Jesse: Look, I gotta run. Petra’s waiting. I’ll talk to you guys later, okay?

Stampy: (Waves) Byeeee!

Jesse: Best pig that ever lived. Miss ya, buddy.

Radar: Aw, man... I wish I could’ve met Reuben. He sounded amazing. I read Lukas' book, the other day. That chapter, about Reuben, almost got me crying right there...

He saved us all.
He was my best friend.
He would've liked you.
...

Jesse: He was a hero. Saved everybody. He'd be really excited about how great Beacontown is now.

Radar: I bet that's totally true.

Jesse: Yeah... he was my best friend. Still miss him.

Radar: Aw...

Jesse: I think he would've liked you.

Radar: Yeah?

Jesse: Oh, yeah. I bet you would've totally been friends.

Radar: Wow...

Radar: Sorry.

Townsperson 4: (Excited) Ohmigosh, it’s you!

A townsperson approaches Jesse, with 3 pigs standing behind him.

Jesse: Oh, yep, it's me. What are you doing here?

Townsperson 4: Oh, wow, this is actually perfect. For Founding Day this year, we’re picking a pig to play the part of Reuben on the float!

Radar: Oh, that's really cute.

Townsperson 4: Right? (To Jesse) Would you be interested in... maybe, helping me pick? I mean, who knows Reuben better than Jesse, right?

Radar: Yeah. Talk about knowledgeable casting.

Townsperson 4: It would be an honor to say that the pig was hand-chosen by Jesse for the part.

I can do that.
Sorry, no time.
...

Jesse: I would love to! Seems like the least I could do.

Townsperson 4: Oh, that's fantastic! Thank you so much!

Jesse: Alright, let's see 'em!

Townsperson 4: Okay, piggies! Show Jesse your good side!

The pigs line up in front of Jesse. The townsperson walks by them.

Townsperson 4: That’s Esteban... Smushy Cutecheeks... and Lord von Thunderpork VI. (Chuckles) Tried my best to bring the pigs that felt the most... Reuben-esque. Hm?

Radar: They're all adorable.

Townsperson 4: Raised all of ‘em myself.

Esteban
Smushy Cutecheeks
Lord von Thunderpork VI
They're all the same.

Jesse: Definitely Esteban. He's got the most intelligent face.

Radar: Really?

Townsperson 4: Ah! I knew that's who you'd choose. Fantastic! (Hugs pig) Congratulations! (Clears throat) Thank you, Jesse. I’m going to go get him ready and I’ll see you at the celebration!

Radar: Bye!

Jesse: I'm a Smushy Cutecheeks fan. He's just got that vibe.

Radar: Really?

Townsperson 4: Ah! I knew that's who you'd choose. Fantastic! (Hugs pig) Congratulations! (Clears throat) Thank you, Jesse. I’m going to go get him ready and I’ll see you at the celebration!

Radar: Bye!

Jesse: My vote is for Lord von Thunderpork VI. No question. Look at the regal little guy.

Radar: Really?

Townsperson 4: Ah! I knew that's who you'd choose. Fantastic! (Hugs pig) Congratulations! (Clears throat) Thank you, Jesse. I’m going to go get him ready and I’ll see you at the celebration!

Radar: Bye!

Jesse: But, they all look exactly the same...

Townsperson 4: What? No, they- I am offended! They are, I'm pretty sure, offended! Look at their offended little faces!

Jesse: Sorry, I just can't pick one.

Townsperson 4: Fine. Well, in that case, I guess there just won’t be a Reuben in the festival, this year. (To pigs) C'mon, boys.

Jesse: Sorry, I just really don't have a lot of time...

Radar: It’s true. Very busy schedule, today.

Townsperson 4: Okay, okay, that’s fine. I understand. I’ll see you around!

Townsperson 4: I... I didn't mean any offense. I'm sorry.

Radar: Ooookay, let's get going, then?

Jesse approaches a townsperson, who is standing by a replica of Jesse's EnderCon statue.

Townsperson 6: Oh, wow. It is really you. My friend told me this was a recreation of your first big build, way back before the Witherstorm, before all that stuff. Is it true? You have got to tell me more about it. I can barely even picture it. I have devoured everything Lukas has written about you guys in those days. But, I still have so many questions.

Let me tell you about it.
My friend is waiting.
...

Jesse: Ha, alright. I love talking about the good old days.

Townsperson 6: Yes! I'm just so curious. Where does your inspiration come from? Was there a deeper meaning? Oh, or, like, a critique of the world, maybe?

It was a group effort.
It's a zombie.
It's an Enderman.
It's a Creeper.
I wanted to win.
...

Jesse: I draw my inspiration from my friends. We were a team. It was a group effort.

Townsperson 6: Oh, classic Jesse. I love that.

(If Jesse chose to build a zombie in Season 1)

Jesse: It’s um... it’s a zombie.

Townsperson 6: Oh. I thought maybe there’d be more to it than that... but, um, guess not.

(If Jesse chose to build an Enderman in Season 1)

Jesse: It’s um... it’s an Enderman.

Townsperson 6: Oh. I thought maybe there’d be more to it than that... but, um, guess not.

(If Jesse chose to build a Creeper in Season 1)

Jesse: It’s um... it’s a Creeper.

Townsperson 6: Oh. I thought maybe there’d be more to it than that... but, um, guess not.

Jesse: It was like anything else in life. I wanted to win, so I had to build the best thing those judges had ever seen.

Townsperson 6: Oh. I thought maybe there’d be more to it than that... but, um, guess not.

Townsperson 6: I guess the “mind of a hero” is a hard one to understand, sometimes.

Townsperson 6: The build I really wish I got to see was what you built to take down the Witherstorm. Now, that must have been terrifying. The world coming apart at the seams, tentacles everywhere...

It wasn't that bad.
We were all afraid.
My friends helped.
...

Jesse: Eh, it wasn’t so bad. I just looked it right in its dumb, world-destroying face and said “Hey, you. Leave my world alone.“

Townsperson 6: Oh, wow. I guess that is why you are Hero-In-Residence.

Jesse: Yeah we were all really scared.. For a while there, it looked like the Witherstorm might win.

Townsperson 6: Well, speaking on behalf of “The World,“ I am really glad you were there to stop it.

(Said "It was a group effort.")
(Said Anything Else)

Jesse: Well, it's like I said about drawing inspiration from my friends. We all gave each other strength, during that fight.

Townsperson 6: Amazing. I hope I have friends like that, someday.

Jesse: Well, my friends and I always give each other strength. That day was no different.

Townsperson 6: I always knew the Order of the Stone were still best friends. I love it.

Jesse says nothing.

Townsperson 6: Oh, you are just the best. Oh, and thank you so much for taking the time to stop and talk to me.

Jesse: Not a problem. I'll see you around, alright?

Jesse: Uh, I’m sorry, but I’ve got a friend waiting for me.

Townsperson 6: Ha, alright. I love talking about the good old days.

Townsperson 6: Um... was it something I said?

Radar: Huh? Oh, no, no, no. Jesse just has, uh... a very busy schedule, today. (To Jesse) Come on, boss. Let's, uh... let's keep moving.

Townsperson 6: Oh... yeah. Okay. That makes sense. Well, um, tell them “hi, hi” for me?

Jesse: What'cha looking at, citizen?

Townsperson 5: Oh, Jesse, wow. Hi. Just checking out my latest build, from the ground. I'm worried it doesn't, y'know, "fit."

The townsperson points upwards, towards a build of a hot air balloon.

Townsperson 5: Is it putting the right energy into the universe? Is it the appropriate aesthetic addition to the tableau that is Beacontown?

It's perfect.
Could use more wool.
How did you get up there?
...

Jesse: “Doesn’t fit?“ I think it’s perfect!

Townsperson 5: Oh, wow! Maybe I'm overthinking this.

Jesse: Yeah! I love it.

Townsperson 5: This just gives me more to think about!

Jesse: Hmmm. Could maybe use a bit more wool, I guess.

Townsperson 5: Ah, more wool! Of course! Why do I now think of that? Stupid! Now, just to... get back up there...

Jesse: How'd you even get up there? That's, like... really high.

Townsperson 5: Oh, getting up there wasn't the hard part. Getting down was.

Townsperson 5: I feel like... your staring is trying to tell me something. But, I don’t know what. I will need to give this a lot of thought.

Jesse: Ohhh, okay, then. We'll just leave you to it. (To Radar) Is he okay?

Radar: No, I don't think so.

Jesse approaches a group of townspeople, by some slime blocks. One townsperson is bouncing on top of a slime block.

Townsperson 1: Well, hey, hey, hey. Look who it is!

Townsperson 2: Jesse! Hey!

Jesse: Hey, guys! What are you doing?

Townsperson 1: Glad you asked! We’re working on a new game, for Founding Day, that I guarantee you is going to be all the rage, this year. Slime Diving! Wanna give us a hand, finishing it up? I'll letcha take the first dive. Bob designed the schematics, didn'tcha, Bob?

Bob: Yep!

Townsperson 2: It's really cool.

Townsperson 1: 100% totally mostly safe, we think.

Sounds great!
Petra is waiting.
...

Jesse: That sounds awesome. Let's do it!

Townsperson 1: We're going to be diving off of this excellent pagoda, Bob designed... but, we can't decide what material to use.

Townsperson 2: Thoughts?

The townspeople pull out a block each. Stone, wood and pink wool.

Bob: I’m just conflicted, because I like all of them.

Townsperson 1: Aw, we know you do, Bob. But, don’t worry. Jesse’s gonna help us settle this.

Use Stone
Use Wood
Use Pink Wool

Jesse: Stone IS safer. Why don’t we run with that.

Jesse: Wood’s a classic choice. Let’s go with that.

Jesse: Nothing prettier than pink wool! Let's get to it.

Jesse and the group work together to build the slime diving platform. Jesse stands from atop the platform and looks down.

Jesse: Nice! That turned out great!

Townsperson 1: And, just like I promised, you can take the first dive! Just aim for the slime! It'll be great!

Radar: Go, Jesse! Woohoohoo!

Bob: Ohhh, I'm nervous...

Townsperson 2: Don't worry. Jesse'll love it.

Bob: I hope you're right...

Swan Dive
Double Twist
Belly Flop

Jesse jumps down and bounces on the slime block, with a swan dive.

Jesse jumps down and bounces on the slime block, with a double twist.

Jesse jumps down and bounces on the slime block, with a belly flop.

Jesse: Haha, woo! Ta da! Thanks, everyone!

Radar: Jesse, that was INCREDIBLE!

Townsperson 1: Seriously, amazing dive. Thank you for that. Thank you for the help, before...

Jesse: No problem. Look, my friend's waiting, so I gotta run, but nice work!

Jesse: Aw, guys, I'm really sorry. My friend, Petra, is waiting for me. I gotta run.

Townsperson 1: Oh... that's alright, that's alright. Next time, I guess.

Townsperson 2: Yeah...

Townsperson 1: Are we building or having a staring contest? Eh?

Fangirl: Eeee! Jesse! Jesse! Gimme five!

High-Five Fangirl
Do Nothing

Fangirl: (High-five) Eeeeee! Day. MADE. You're my hero!!! (Runs away)

Fangirl: Aw, man. (Walks away)

Jesse: It makes me happy to see so many plants growing in Beacontown.

Radar: Yeah. It's pretty great, huh?

Jesse punches a nearby sugar cane and picks it up.

(Already Talked With Stampy and Stacy)
(Didn't Already Talk With Stampy and Stacy)

Jesse: Sugar! Nice! Just what I need to help Stampy and Stacy.

Jesse: Sugar! Nice!

Jesse imitates the sounds of the chicken.

Jesse approaches a nearby chicken. Beside it, on the ground, is an egg.

(Already Talked With Stampy and Stacy)
(Didn't Already Talk With Stampy and Stacy)

Jesse: Hey, an egg! Maybe that’ll help me settle Stampy and Stacy’s little disagreement. Excuse me, um, ma'am. (Takes egg) Thank you.

Jesse: Excuse me, um, ma'am. (Takes egg) Thank you.

Jesse: (Reading) “Lukas Signing Today!“ Aw, I'm so happy people have been liking his books so much.

Jesse: Aww, those were the days. Simpler times.

Jesse: What is THIS for?

Jesse walks onto a pressure plate and activates a piston, which smacks them right in the face, launching them a couple blocks away.

Step on Pressure Plate For the Third Time
...

Radar: Not to rush you but, uh... should we... um, well, uh, go? Maybe?

Jesse: Oh, uh, yeah. Yeah

Jesse: Huh, what a lovely garden.

Radar: And here we are at the mines!

Jesse looks down the stone stairs into the mineshaft.

Jesse: Nice. Thanks for walking with me.

(Spent Time Preparing In Beacontown)
(Rushed to the Mines For Petra)

Radar: Oh, no. Thank YOU, Jesse. It was a pleasure watching you work. It truly was. Stopping to help all those people, helping them prepare for Founding Day... very inspiring.

Radar: Of course! I wish we could've helped a couple more people get ready. I mean, Founding Day IS about how you took down the Witherstorm and all.

Jesse takes an iron chestplate from a chest and equips it.

Radar: I'll, uh... keep watch on things, here, while you're gone. Off, doing your... adventure-y things. Risking your life. Spitting in fate's eye...

Stop worrying.
Don't disappoint me.
I have faith in you.
...

Jesse: Just stop worrying so much, would ya?

Radar: “Stop... Stop worrying.” I can do that. It’s so simple. Just “stop worrying.“ Am I oversimplifying it? I- I'll work on it.

Jesse: You better. Don’t disappoint me, Radar.

Radar: I- I hadn’t even... thought about that being a possibility, ‘til just this moment...

Jesse: Got all the faith in the world, buddy. You got this.

Radar: Thanks, Jesse. I won't let you down.

Jesse holds out their fist.

Radar: Yes! That move... that’s the one we’re doing... (Fist bumps)

Jesse walks down the stairs into the mineshaft.

Radar: Bye! Have a good time!

Jesse: Don't I always?

Mineshaft[]

Jesse enters the mineshaft and looks around for Petra, who is nowhere to be seen.

Jesse: Petra? Huh, I swear she said to meet right here. (Looks around) Petra! Where are you...

Jesse turns back to see zombies approaching them from the shadows.

Jesse: Agh! Stupid zombie. (Pulls out sword) Ahh, I missed this. (Coughs) Smell, not so much...

Slay the Zombies
Do Nothing

Jesse takes out the zombies with their sword, then looks back to see Petra standing before them.

(Spent Time Preparing In Beacontown)
(Rushed to the Mines For Petra)

Petra: Well... you’re late, but at least you still remember how to fight.

Jesse: Oh, hey.

Petra: Hey. I was worried you'd gotten rusty.

Petra: Look at that. Punctual AND kicking butt. Nice!

Jesse: Hey to you too, Petra.

Petra: (Chuckles) Hey. Glad to see you remember how to use your sword. I was worried you’d gotten rusty.

Jesse is pushed to the ground by a zombie. Suddenly, a sword is impaled through its chest. Petra takes the zombie down and helps Jesse up.

(Spent Time Preparing In Beacontown)
(Rushed to the Mines For Petra)

Petra: Late AND getting your butt kicked by a lameoid zombie? Tsk. Looks like someone's a little rusty.

Petra: Look at that. You finally made it on time for once. Looking a little rusty, though.

Petra: I can't even imagine that life. Managing people. Signing papers. Bleh.

It has been awhile.
I am NOT rusty.
I've missed you!
...

Jesse: Yeah, I guess it HAS been a while since I've done this.

Petra: Well, that's obvious. You're not even wearing a good suit of armor!

Jesse: I didn't want to dent the good stuff! So what?

Jesse: Whoa, whoa. I am NOT rusty.

Petra: Oh yeah? Says the scrub wearing IRON armor.

Jesse: I didn't want to dent the good stuff! So what?

Jesse: I really do miss this. You know. Us. Adventuring together, facing the unknown. I wish we could do this more often.

Petra: Except I’m gonna have a hard time being seen with someone wearing such dingy armor. What is that, iron?

Jesse: I didn't want to dent the good stuff! So what?

Petra: Oh, come on. You can’t blame me for thinking that way. When was the last time you did this? Not even wearing good armor.

Jesse: And look who's talking with an iron sword. Where's your fancy gold one, with all the enchantments? Can't remember the last time I saw you without it..

Petra: I, uh...

They look back to see even more zombies emerging from the shadows.

(Said "It has been awhile.")
(Said "I am NOT rusty.")
(Said "I've missed you!")
(Said Nothing)

Petra: Look alive. These deadheads should help you dust off those cobwebs!

Petra: Ha, time to find out just how rusty you aren't!

Petra: Ready for more?

Petra: Got more deadheads to deal with!

Petra dodges an attack from a zombie.

Petra: Haha! Too slow, zombies! Typical.

Slay the Zombies
Do Nothing

Jesse takes out the zombies with their sword.

Jesse: Ha! Haven't lost my step yet!

Petra: Well, you sure showed me.

Jesse is pushed to the ground by a zombie. Petra takes it out with her sword and helps Jesse back up.

(Said "I am NOT rusty.")
(Said Anything Else)

Petra: I thought you weren’t rusty? You almost had me going there!

(Took Down the Previous Zombie)
(Was Saved by Petra)

Petra: Look out there, Jesse!

Petra: I'm gonna have to get used to saving your sorry butt, huh?

(Spent Time Preparing In Beacontown)
(Rushed to the Mines For Petra)

Petra: Glad you finally made it. Sometimes, I worry you don't even have time for me- your friends, anymore. I mean, I get that you like your job and everything, but geez.

I always have time for you.
Being the leader is fun.
The people need me.
...

Jesse: Hey. I'm here now, aren't I? I'll always make time for you.

Petra: Yeah, I guess. But, now that you mention it...

Jesse: Hey, come on. Being Beacontown's leader is fun.

Petra: Of course a nerd like you would find that "fun." THIS is fun. Us, together. Fighting stuff. Although...

Jesse: Hey, come on. My people needed me. It was important.

Petra: Yeah, I've heard that one before. Speaking of people flaking...

Petra: Annnd it’s not just you being late...

Petra: Gotta say, I really appreciate you making it on time. Means a lot to me. I... sometimes worry you don't have time for your friends, anymore. I know you enjoy your job, or whatever. Not that I’m trying to make you feel guilty or anything.

Friends are more important.
You're in a bad mood.
I do love my job.
...

Jesse: Aw, c’mon. You know you’re more important to me than all of them.

Petra: Okay, now you're just trying to flatter me.

Jesse: Seems like you're in a little bit of a bad mood there, Petra. Everything okay?

Petra: Nothing, it's nothing. Just trying to say I'm glad you made it.

Jesse: What can I say? My public adores me.

Petra: Yeah, I bet they do. I'm just glad you're here with me now.

Petra: Well. Just glad you're here.

Petra: But, uh...

Petra: Can’t help but notice that we’re missing... one, two, three?

Jesse: Axel has Boom Town duties, Olivia’s grading something or another in Redstonia and Lukas-

Petra: Is writing. I figured. Man, our friends have gotten lame. I swear, if our old fans saw what we're doing now? I'm just sayin'. I don't care how good Lukas' next book is. It's not exactly slaying a Witherstorm, y'know?

You're right.
That's a little harsh.
We shouldn’t be so harsh.
Let's enjoy right now.
...

Jesse: You're right. It IS lame. It just isn’t the same without them.

Petra: See? I knew you'd get it!

(If Jesse didn't call the others lame in the Order Hall)

Jesse: That’s a little harsh. They've just got their own lives, now. I get it.

Petra: Well, I don’t.

(If Jesse called the others lame in the Order Hall)

Jesse: That’s what I said too, but maybe we shouldn’t be so harsh on them. They've just got their own lives, now. I get it.

Petra: Well, I don’t.

Jesse: Hey, don't get bummed. Even without them, we're having fun. Right?

Petra: Yeah, that's a good point. At least we've got the cool people here.

Petra: It's all just so annoying.

Petra: We'll worry about them later, I guess. We gotta hurry.

Jesse: What exactly are we looking for, down here?

Petra: I'll... tell you when we find it. Just trust me. It's important.

Jesse and Petra look towards the tunnel of the mines, as a mysterious figure bleats and runs through.

Jesse: Whaaat was that?

Petra: Come on, let's race!

Jesse: Wait, what?

Petra: It's monster-huntin' time.

Jesse follows Petra through the tunnel, manouvering past the minecarts and holes.

Miner 1: Hey, it's Jesse!

Miner 2: What's up? Good to see ya!

Jesse catches up to a miner, who is sitting in minecart and eating cake.

Jesse: Oh, perfect! I'm starving.

Jesse takes the cake and eats it.

Miner 3: Hey, I was gonna eat that! Obviously.

Jesse looks ahead towards a block of TNT, about to set off.

Miner 1: Everyone, get down! It’s gonna blow!

Jesse jumps over the block of TNT and catches up to Petra at the end of the tunnel.

Jesse: (Catching breath) Ha! Wooo.

Petra: (Looking around) Alright, where'd you go?

Jesse: Where'd WHAT go?

Petra: Ha! Look down there!

Jesse looks down as the figure runs through another tunnel.

Jesse: So, you're really not gonna tell me what we're chasing?

Petra: Nope. The mystery’s what makes it fun! C’mon!

Petra jumps down towards the tunnel and Jesse follows. Petra points behind Jesse, to which they look back and see zombies approaching them. Jesse follows Petra into the tunnel, where multiple spiders are seen crawling across the walls.

Petra: Look out! Wall spiders!

Jesse: I see 'em.

A spider jumps at Jesse, who pulls out their sword and takes it out. Multiple spiders start to catch up. Jesse takes them out with their sword.

Jesse: Ha, take that! And that!

Jesse jumps over a gap of lava in the ground. A spider falls in to the lava, to which the rest step back. Jesse catches up to Petra.

Petra: There! It went into that cave.

Jesse: On it!

Petra jumps down to a lower platform and runs ahead.

Petra: (Commentating) “Annnd Petra’s in the home stretch!!“

Multiple spiders jump down towards Petra, surrounding her.

Petra: Ack! Geez, more of these guys!

[Help Petra]
[Win the Race]

Jesse jumps down to the platform and pulls out their sword.

Jesse: My turn to save YOU, Petra!

Jesse takes out the spiders with their sword, then looks back as many more approach them.

Petra: Argh! It’s gonna take forever to get through these stupid webheads!

Jesse: Maybe we can seal them off, somehow?

Petra looks towards a block of gravel, blocking a pool of lava.

Petra: Like maybe a little lava?

Jesse runs towards the block of gravel and destroys it with their sword, spilling lava onto the ground. The lava blocks the spider's attack.

Jesse: Woo! That totally did the trick.

Petra: (Leaves) Ha! See ya!

Jesse: Hey, no fair!

Jesse follows Petra through the end of the tunnel and into the cavern.

Jesse smirks and runs ahead.

Petra: What?! But, you... ugh!

Sure YOU'RE not rusty?
Looking good, Petra!
Jesse... takes the lead!
...

Jesse: Starting to think that maybe YOU'RE the rusty one here.

Petra: I’ll remember this, next time YOU need help!

Jesse: Yeah, Petra! Those mobs don’t stand a chance!

Petra: (Sarcastically) Thanks, FRIEND!

Jesse: (Commentating) "Aaand Jesse takes the lead!"

Petra: Ha, let's see how long that lasts!

Petra: It's not over yet!

Jesse jumps across the platforms to the end of the tunnel and jumps down into the cavern. Petra follows.

Cavern[]

(Helped Petra)
(Won the Race)

Petra: Awwwww yeahhhhh! In your face! (Commentating) "Petra! Petra! You're number one! You're number one!"

Now that felt great.
I didn't know the terrain.
Hey, I saved you!
...

Jesse: Okay, maybe I didn't win but that still felt AWESOME getting back out there.

Petra: Yeah! Couldn't agree more.

Jesse: I just didn’t know the terrain, is all. Never been down here.

Petra: Uh huh. Excuses, excuses.

Jesse: Uh, cheater much? I totally saved you, back there!

Petra: Oh! Oh... yeah. You're right. Sorry. I shouldn't be gloating. I was just excited.

Petra: Never doubted myself for a second.

Petra: (Catching breath) Man, you're faster than I remember! Ha! You were SO supposed to lose. Everyone knows I'm faster than you!

I'm just better, that's all.
You were awesome!
I've still got it.
...

Jesse: Hey, just thought I’d come and remind you why I’m the best.

Petra: Uh huh, uh huh. Keep it up. I didn't want to show you the way back up, anyway.

Jesse: You were awesome back there, Petra! Felt just like old times.

Petra: Well, not EXACTLY like old times... since I always used to win.

Jesse: Hey, I'm as surprised as you are. I'm just glad I've still got it!

Petra: Guess I didn't have anything to worry about, after all.

Jesse: Okay, this mystery better live up to all the hype...

Jesse approaches the figure and pulls out their sword.

Jesse: Here I come, mystery monster...

Jesse approaches the ledge and looks down to see a llama, standing on the ground.

Jesse: A llama? A llama?!

Petra: Awesome, we found it! (To Llama) Ohh, your owner is going to be so happy to see you.

Jesse: Wait. Lemme get this straight. This quest was just to track down a stupid LLAMA?

Petra: It's not just a "stupid llama!" It's, uh, it's important, okay? It’s apparently, like, a “treasure-sniffing llama” or... ugh. It’s important, okay? Please, just trust me. We just need to bring her back to her owner. It doesn't need to be, like, a thing.

Okay I trust you.
A llama's not important!
You're being secretive.
...

Jesse: Okay, okay. I'm sorry. If you say it’s important... then I trust you.

Petra: Yeah?

Jesse: Yeah.

Petra: (To Llama) Now, how about we get you outta here, huh?

Jesse: Really? How could a LLAMA be important? Because I'm looking. I really am. And I'm just not seeing it.

Petra: You know what? Forget I said anything at all, then. Forget it. Just grab that llama and let's get out of here.

Jesse: Why all this secrecy? Are you okay?

Petra: I'll tell you about it later, okay? But... I appreciate you worrying about me. (To Llama) Now, how about we get you outta here, huh?

Petra: Forget it. Just grab that llama and let's get out of here.

Jesse approaches the llama, slowly.

[Make Smoochy Noises]
Come to Jesse.
Hold still, ugly.
...

Jesse: Come here, llama. (Smooching noises) Come on. Come on...

Jesse: Alright, hey there... llama... c'mere, girl. Gooooood llama.

Jesse: Ugh. Ok, you big... ugly... llama... thing. Just hold still, so we can get this over with.

Jesse says nothing.

The llama looks back and kicks Jesse, destroying the iron chestplate.

Petra: That’s what you get for wearing that dork armor.

Jesse: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just have to craft a new set. Dang.

Petra: (Whispers) Let's get this thing. Don't let it get away!

Jesse and Petra approach the llama and attempt to grab onto it.

Jesse: Just grab the-

The llama kicks Jesse and Petra onto the ground. Jesse looks up to see the llama standing before them. The llama spits in Jesse's face.

Jesse: Ugh! Gross!

The llama runs further into the cavern.

Jesse: C’mon. Let’s get after that armor-wrecking thing.

Petra: Hang on, it’s super dark down there. We should make a torch.

Petra gives Jesse some coal and a stick. Jesse approaches the crafting table and crafts a torch.

Jesse: Heeere llama llama llama.

Petra: Where'd you go?

Jesse uses the torch to light up the cavern, following the llama.

Petra: After you, “Mayor Jesse.“

Jesse: I've told you, I'm not the "mayor." I'm the-

Petra: “Leader and Hero in Residence.“ I know, I know. It’s just that... you do a lot of paperwork and, like, “town running” things. Call a shovel a shovel, am I right?

Jesse approaches the llama, who is standing on top of 3 blocks of gravel.

Petra: How the heck did you get up there?

Jesse: Who knows, but it's coming down now.

Jesse punches the gravel blocks to reveal a hole in the wall, leading into a large cavern.

Jesse: What the...

Inside the cavern is a platform, with a prismarine gauntlet floating on top of it. They make their way into the cavern. Jesse stares at the platform, until Lluna comes in front of them.

Jesse: Ugh, get out of the way. I was looking at that.

Petra: What's that?

Jesse: Only one way to find out...

Jesse approaches the platform and prepares to climb it.

Gauntlet: (Whispering telepathically) Jesssseeeeeee...

Jesse: Whaaat was that creepy whisper?

Petra: I didn’t hear anything.

Gauntlet: Slayer of the Witherstorm...

Jesse climbs the platform to the gauntlet.

Gauntlet: Savior of Sky City... liberator of Crown Mesa...

Lluna bleats.

Petra: Whoa, girl. (To Jesse) What is it?

Jesse: Some sort of glove? Or, uh, gauntlet? Looks like it's made out of prismarine...

Petra: Prismarine? But, you only find that at the bottom of the ocean.

Gauntlet: The Old Builders’ Downfall... this world's champion... this world's mightiest hero... the most worthy... worthiest in all the land...

Jesse lifts their hand and prepares to pick up the gauntlet.

Gauntlet: Jesssseeeeeee...

Jesse looks back, as multiple blocks of gravel drop to the ground, blocking the exit to the cavern.

Petra: Whoa!

The gauntlet levitates and shoots onto Jesse's fist.

Jesse: Ah! How did... where?! What. Is this. Thing?

Gauntlet: (Lights up) Jesssseeeeeee...

Petra: I dunno. I dunno. It seems like it's not hurting you, and that's good. It looks kinda... okay, actually, it looks really cool. Which, I know, might not be what you want to hear right now.

Maybe it has powers.
It keeps whispering to me.
I'm FREAKING OUT HERE.
...

Jesse: Maybe it has, I don't know, like, powers, or something?

Petra: If it does, it's too bad it didn't come with an instruction manual...

Jesse: It's not hurting me, but it keeps making these weird whispers.

Petra: I haven’t heard anything.

Jesse: Petra, gotta tell ya, I am FREAKING OUT HERE! (Shakes gauntlet)

Petra: It’s gonna be okay! It’ll be okay! We'll figure it out.

Gauntlet: Jeees-s-s-s-seeee-ee-e...

Gauntlet: Jesssseeeeeee...

Petra: Well, here. I'll help you take it off.

Petra grabs hold of the gauntlet and tries to take it off.

Gauntlet: (Muffled) Jessseeee-

Jesse: Okay, ow, wow. Stop.

Petra: That thing is really stuck. I just can't shake this feeling that... maybe you were meant to find that gauntlet. Like... maybe it was your destiny or something.

Maybe I was.
Why is it always me?
I hope it's not a curse.
...

Jesse: Yeah. Maybe it was down here, waiting for me.

Petra: Okay, that's just... unsettling.

Jesse: Man, what are the odds? Command blocks, portal keys... why is it always me?

Petra: I don't know, but there's definitely a pattern.

Jesse: I hope it's not, like, a curse. That's usually what leaves things stuck to you, right?

Petra: Yeah, until you die- which... isn't what's happening here! I hope.

Petra: I wonder what Prismarine is doing down here...

Suddenly, a loud thud is heard. The platform begins to break apart.

Jesse: Uh oh. Get off the pyramid, quick!

Petra jumps off the platform. Jesse follows and grabs onto the edge of the cliff of a pit.

Petra: C’mon! Let’s get you up out of there!

Petra pulls Jesse up. They both look down towards a huge glowing hole in the ground.

Jesse: Okay, now what the heck is THAT thing? It's like, a huge... mouth... in the ground?

Petra: Some sort of... Heckmouth?

Jesse: Sure. Yeah. "Heckmouth."

Petra: I... I don't think I can see the bottom. Ugh, gives me the willies. And what's that sound coming from down there?

We need to cover it NOW.
I'm fine by the way.
[Drop Gravel]
...

Jesse: I don't care whether we can see the bottom or not. We need to cover it up NOW.

Petra: Right!

Jesse: I'm fine, by the way.

Petra: Oh! Right! Good!

Jesse: I can tell you were super worried.

Petra: Oh, yeah. No, I totally was!

Jesse: Well, we can't just leave something like this exposed. We should cover it up.

Petra: Yeah. Agreed.

Jesse drops a block of gravel into the heckmouth and watches it fall into the abyss.

Jesse: Yep, wow. That is bottomless. Well, we can't just leave something like this exposed. We should cover it up.

Petra: Yeah. Agreed.

The llama spits into the heckmouth.

Petra: Gross.

Jesse: Well, we can't just leave something like this exposed. We should cover it up.

Petra: Yeah. Agreed.

Jesse and Petra collect some nearby blocks of gravel, before building a surface to cover the heckmouth. Petra approaches a small slot in the ground next to it, with a glowing symbol.

Petra: What is that?

Jesse: Not sure, but I'm getting a bad feeling that it's the actual way we're going to fix this...

A loud thud is heard.

Jesse: On second thought, let's talk about it anywhere but in here.

Petra: (Pointing to exit) Not getting out the way we came, though.

There is a large hole in the ceiling of the cavern.

Look at Hole
Do Nothing

Jesse: There! Come on!

Petra: Look. I think that goes to the surface.

Petra runs towards a nearby stack of gravel and the group climb up out of the hole in the ceiling of the cavern. They find their way by some trees, near the entrance to Beacontown. Petra pulls the llama up.

Jesse: It's so close to Beacontown...

Petra pulls out a wooden sign and gives it to Jesse.

Petra: Here. Maybe you could... leave a warning or something?

"WARNING: HECKMOUTH"
"KEEP OFF THE GRASS"
"TOP SECRET. GO AWAY."
NOTHING TO SEE HERE."

Jesse writes "WARNING: HECKMOUTH" onto the sign and leaves it on the grass, by the hole.

Petra: Straight to the point. I like it.

Jesse writes "KEEP OFF THE GRASS" onto the sign and leaves it on the grass, by the hole.

Petra: Sure, yeah. That works.

Jesse writes "TOP SECRET. GO AWAY." onto the sign and leaves it on the grass, by the hole.

Petra: Oooh, mysterious.

Jesse writes "NOTHING TO SEE HERE." onto the sign and leaves it on the grass, by the hole.

Petra: Sure, yeah. That works.

Jesse: Okay, then... what do we do about all this?!

Petra: Well, it’s all made of Prismarine, right? And you only find that in, like, monuments and stuff at the bottom of the ocean. There’s a treasure hunter in Beacontown named Jack. Kind of a legend. He knows everything about Prismarine, exploring the ocean. Because we definitely can't have that happening again. That was... that was really bad.

I can't wait to meet him!
Sounds kinda weird.
Do you trust him?
...

Jesse: That sounds perfect! I can't wait to meet this guy.

Petra: Knew you'd be excited! Yes!

Jesse: That sounds a little weird, Petra. He better not be, like, a weird fish person.

Petra: He's definitely not that. Trust me, I've heard a lot of good things about him.

Jesse: And you trust this guy?

Petra: Yeah! I mean, I never met him before. But, I've heard a lot of good things.

Petra: I know you're giving me that look you give me when you think I'm crazy, but I swear, I think this guy's our best shot at solving this Prismarine problem.

Petra: And I'll take you to Jack's shop as soon as I'm back... but first, I really need to deal with this llama.

Petra tries walking the llama away, but she won't budge.

Petra: Okay. C'mon, you! Gotta get you home.

What about me?!
But the Heckmouth!
You can't just leave!
...

Jesse: But, what about my hand?! This thing won't come off!

Petra: I... yeah. I know, I know. But, this llama...

Jesse: Why is that llama so important to you?

Jesse: You can't just leave! We have to do something about that... that... Heckmouth.

Petra: We already did! It's totally sealed up... you did the sign. Can't we talk about this after I bring her back?

Jesse: Why is that llama so important to you?

Jesse: Petra, you're just as much a part of this as me! You can't just... walk away from it!

Petra: I... augh. I promise, we'll take care of it. Just...

Jesse: Why are you being so weird about this llama? What's the big deal?

Petra: Uh, Jesse? I'm really kind of in a hurry here.

Petra: (Sigh) You know my sword? Gold one? With all the enchantments?

Jesse: "Miss Butter?"

Petra: Yeah. I-I... kinda got tricked... by this person, named Stella. Said she "just wanted to put it on display for a little while." And now she won't give it back, until I do dumb quests like this for her. It's... uh... it's been not great. Hoping this is the end of it.

That's so unfair!
Wow, how humiliating.
Why didn't you tell me?
...

Jesse: I can't believe this person tricked you. That's terrible! And so unfair!

Petra: I couldn't agree with you more.

Jesse: Wow. Can't believe you're getting pushed around like that. That's kind of...

Petra: Humiliating? Yeah, I know.

Jesse: Petra, why didn't you tell me about this?

Petra: You haven't exactly been around much. Didn't wanna "bother" you with it.

Petra: So, yeah. That's what's been going on. You haven't exactly been around much. Didn't wanna "bother" you with it.

Petra: So, yeah. Her name's Stella and she's kinda obsessed with treasure. She says this is her "treasure-sniffing llama" or...

Petra points towards a city in the distance.

Petra: She runs a place called Champion City.

Jesse: Wait, like Champion City right over there? I had no idea their leader was like that.

Petra: Yeah, she's... ambitious. And she's willing to do anything to get her way. Bullying, lying, cheating. Without my sword... I just really need to get it back. Just hope Stella actually gives it back, this time...

You really need my help.
I hate bullies!
We're a team.
...

Jesse: You're one of my best friends, and it sounds like you really need my help.

Petra: For the record, I don't "need" help, but... thank you.

Jesse: Don't worry! We're gonna get this whole mess sorted out.

Petra: Hope you're right...

Jesse: I can smell a bully from a mile away, Petra. And I don't let bullies go... being smelled on my watch.

Petra: You're one of the good ones, Jesse. Thanks.

Jesse: C'mon. I can't wait to meet this "Stella" myself.

Petra: Yeah... okay. Let's do it.

Jesse: We're the Order of the Stone, Petra. Looking out for each other is what we do.

Petra: That's fair. Thanks, Jesse.

Jesse: C'mon. I can't wait to meet this "Stella" myself.

Petra: Yeah... okay. Let's do it.

Petra: Yeah, alright.

Jesse: Don't worry! We're gonna get this whole mess sorted out.

Petra: Hope you're right...

Jesse: Then, freshly re-armed, we'll come back, sort out that "Heckmouth," and get this thing off my hand!

Champion City[]

The group walk across a path towards an orange entrance. They open the doors and enter the luxurious Champion City. Near the entrance is a large Llama statue. Around the city are many garden workers.

Petra: This is it. Champion City. Every single one of those apartments up there is exactly the same. Stella is... strict about how things look here. She claims the top level are the “Diamond Class Apartments,“ but they’re just one block wider...

Very impressive.
More like Llama City!
I prefer Beacontown.
...

Jesse: Wow, this is super impressive. Good layout, great colors...

Jesse: If you’re into that sort of thing....

Jesse: If it's really "Champion City" then where are all the Champions, huh? More like Llama City.

Petra: Uh, yeah. Good one.

Jesse: Mmm, I dunno if this is quite my taste. I prefer what we’re doing in Beacontown.

Petra: Yeah. Stella always wants everything exactly her way. Doesn't matter how other people want to build. That’s why I like Beacontown better, too.

Petra: When the sun comes through those spires up there... yeah, well. Crazy shadows.

Petra tries to bring the llama over to see Stella, but she refuses to budge.

Petra: What? Come on. We're almost there!

The llama lays down on the ground.

Petra: It’s like she doesn’t want to go see Stella. I kinda know how she feels. I just... really need this to go well. And with Stella... well, it doesn't, most times.

Stella can't be that awful.
Are you scared?
I'm here for you.
...

Jesse: I know that in your head you’ve got her built up as this big terrible person, but she can’t be THAT bad. We’ll work it out.

Petra: Clearly, you haven't met her yet.

Jesse: Petra... you're not scared of her, are you?

Petra: What? No! She's just... she's really manipulative, alright?

Jesse: Hey, that’s why you’ve got me, remember? We’re a team, and we will take care of this no problem.

Petra: Sure hope you're right...

Jesse says nothing.

Petra: Anyway. Stella usually has her “office hours” in the center of the courtyard.

Jesse: Well, I hope she’s ready for an “appointment” with Jesse and Petra.

(Optional Interactions)
...

Look at Gardener
Talk to Petra and Llama
Look at Llama Statue
Look at Mineshaft Entrance
Look at Distant Cityscape

Jesse: Wow, even the flowers are organised.

Petra: Yeah, and see the gardeners working on them? They all owe her stuff, too. Everryone in town owes Stella something. I think that’s where she got most of the materials to build Champion City in the first place. Lots of little trades all add up, after a while...

The whole town?
Why don't they leave?
Like you!
...

Jesse: Wait, the whole town? How?

Petra: Yep. She's always finding little reasons that people's trades aren't enough, making up new rules...

Jesse: So why don’t they leave, then? Why do they put up with it?

Petra: Stella keeps some of them under her thumb. Like my sword thing. But some think that if they impress her, maybe they'll move up. Become a "Champion". But all their hard work is ACTUALLY doing is making Stella’s city better.

Jesse: Ohh, so it’s not just you, then.

Petra: No. I mean, she's changing the rules around on me a lot more than some people, but... yeah. She does this to lots of people.

Petra: C’mon, we should let them work in peace.

Jesse: Well, your sword is one trade Stella won’t be getting out of. I’m gonna make sure of it.

Jesse: Hey, the llama doing okay?

Petra: Hard to tell... she seems really nervous. We should probably get her to Stella, as soon as you’re done looking around.

Jesse: This Stella person sure likes her llamas.

Petra: You might say she likes them better than people.

Jesse: Wow. That is a classy mineshaft entrance. Didn’t know they could look that nice.

Petra: Ha, yeah. Nothing’s allowed in Champion City that doesn’t look nice. Stella makes sure of it.

Jesse: I can’t believe Stella built this whole city...

Petra: Yeah, but it's all fake. Made by people she's tricked into doing it. I’m not even sure she even remembers how to build anymore.

The group walk through the gate into a large garden, where Stella is standing with two bodyguards by her side. A crowd of people clap and cheer for her.

Petra: (Points) There's Stella.

Stella: Yes, that’s right! Puppies for everyone! No shoving, now! We're not Beacontowners! (Chuckles)

Petra: You’ve probably put this together right now, but Stella’s pretty fond of herself. I would play to her ego.

Stella: Oh! Well, that is a cute one. And he could be all yours. Provided you have the right payment, of course. Oh, she matches your outfit wonderfully. I know you think you like that one, but actually I think this one is more for you, don’t you think? That’s right, okay, go ahead. Yeah, uh huh...

Jesse makes their way through the crowd. Petra tries to bring the llama along, but she tries to jump away.

Petra: Ugh. Come on, you-

Stella turns around and sees Lluna.

Stella: Ohhh, Lluna, my darling! You came home! You came back! (To Guard) Ah, Rodrigo? Could you bring Lluna home, please?

The bodyguard takes Lluna away. Lluna looks back towards Jesse, upsettedly.

Stella: There's a good girl...

Jesse: Stella?

Stella: Oh, look who it is... Jesse! Leader of Beacontown! And my sworn rival...

Jesse: (Whispering to Petra) I've never met her before, right?

Petra: No...

Stella: Our rivalry? Beacontown VS Champion City? Surely, you think about it as much as I do.

Petra: Oh, boy.

[Play Along]
[Correct Her]
...

Jesse: Yes, that’s right, “my rival.“ I am here to finally meet face to face.

Stella: Yeah, that's what I thought.

Jesse: Sorry, but you? Are not my rival. Even my B-List villains are way scarier than you.

Stella: I do not know what kind of mind games you are trying to bring into our rivalry, but I’ll tell you right now they are not going to work on me.

Stella: Okay, why aren't you saying anything? I do not know what kind of mind games you are trying to bring into our rivalry, but I’ll tell you right now they are not going to work on me.

Gauntlet: (Lights up) Jesse...

Stella: (Gasp) I love the glove, by the way. Absolutely darling. You wouldn’t be interested in trading, would you? Got some fine puppies here.

The bodyguard holds a puppy in front of Jesse.

Stella: All free-range, of course.

I can't take the glove off.
That's a terrible trade.
Don't change the subject!
...

Jesse: Ohh, I really, really wish I could... really. But I can’t.

Stella: Oh, too bad. They're very cute puppies.

The bodyguard throws the puppy away.

Stella: And, you know, I heard you needed a new pet, so...

Jesse: Just a puppy for this? That's a terrible trade.

Stella: Rude. I just thought I'd offer.

The bodyguard throws the puppy away.

Stella: Heard you need a new pet...

Jesse: That's not why we're here, Stella. We have other business.

Stella: Oh, too bad. They're very cute puppies.

The bodyguard throws the puppy away.

Stella: And, you know, I heard you needed a new pet, so...

Stella: No? Not a puppy fan?

The bodyguard throws the puppy away.

Stella: Could’ve sworn I heard you needed a new pet...

Petra: Okay, hold it.

Stella: Oh, Petra! You’re here too. I almost thought Lluna just came back on her own. What do I owe you, a puppy?

Petra: No, that wasn't-

Stella: A diamond, maybe?

Petra: No, I-

Stella: An emerald? Don’t push TOO hard now.

Petra: That's, augh!

Stop changing the deal.
Shut up already!
Give us the sword!
...

Jesse: Stop changing the deal around, Stella. It’s wrong!

Stella: Well, I never. The deal hasn’t, y’know, “changed”...

Jesse: Would you stop talking, already?! Your voice is exhausting me...

Petra: SWORD. I want sword. My sword.

Stella: Preposterous.

Jesse: Don't make me get tough here, Stella. You know what Petra wants. We're not leaving without that sword.

Stella: Wait, is this about? Oh, Petra. Oh, sweetie, no...

Petra: SWORD. I want sword. My sword.

Stella: Wait, is this about? Oh, Petra. Oh, sweetie, no...

Stella: I was very clear. I make trades for treasures. (To guard) I think I'm all done here.

Stella leaves. Jesse and Petra try to follow, but are blocked off by the bodyguards.

Petra: You said you just wanted to "display it!" I thought I could still use it!

Stella: Ohh, no. Honey, no. You wanted to become my champion. You came to ME, remember? In exchange, you got to live HERE instead of Beacontown. Isn't that nice? Oh, no... was that supposed to be a secret? Oh, dear. Petra. Sweetie.

When were you going to tell me?
We'll discuss this later.
Wait! You LIVE here?!
...

Jesse: When exactly were you going to tell me about this?

Petra: Soon, I swear...

Jesse: Oh, we are going to talk about this later, Petra.

Petra: I know...

Jesse: Wait, WHAT?! You live here?!

Petra: I, uh...

Stella: Well, I think it’s about time I go back to my treasure hall, Jesse. By the way? WAY nicer than yours. (Leaves) Do you two know the way out? What am I saying, of course Petra does! If you ever want a place in Champion City, just ask! (Chuckles)

Petra: Like I said... she's the worst.

She won't get away with this.
You live in her town!
But YOU lied to me.
...

Jesse: I'm not letting her get away with this. We're getting even.

Petra: Hey, I’ll just settle for getting my sword back.

Jesse: Hey, you're the one that decided to live here.

Petra: I... yeah. I deserve that.

(Said "We'll discuss this later.")
(Said Anything Else)

Petra: Like you said, let's talk about it later.

Petra: But can we please wait ‘til we’re out of town to talk about it?

Petra: Right now, I really need to figure out how I’m gonna get my sword back.

Jesse: I’m still upset about this, Petra. You lied to me!

Petra: I... yeah. I deserve that.

(Said "We'll discuss this later.")
(Said Anything Else)

Petra: Like you said, let's talk about it later.

Petra: But can we please wait ‘til we’re out of town to talk about it?

Petra: Right now, I really need to figure out how I’m gonna get my sword back.

Petra: I... yeah. I deserve that.

(Said "We'll discuss this later.")
(Said Anything Else)

Petra: Like you said, let's talk about it later.

Petra: But can we please wait ‘til we’re out of town to talk about it?

Petra: Right now, I really need to figure out how I’m gonna get my sword back.

Petra: I just don’t know how we’re gonna do that...

Petra stares at two golden doorways, both of which lead to Stella's treasure room.

Petra: Stella’s “treasure room” is right there, but I’ve got a bad feeling about those bodyguards of hers. Could probably sneak in through the puppy kennel, but... that’s a lot of barking puppies.

Jesse: There’s got to be a way.

We sneak in.
We fight our way in.

Jesse: I think we can handle sneaking through some puppies. Let’s stealth it up.

Petra: Sounds good to me.

Jesse and Petra sneak through the doorway and into a puppy kennel, where two guards are talking to each other. Petra is kneeling beside a puppy.

Jesse: We’re gonna need a distraction for those guards...

Petra: Aw, that thing is so cute-

The puppy jumps over a wooden fence, to which there are many other puppies being held.

Petra: Ohhh, no. How are we going to get through here with none of them barking?

Jesse takes out two bones from their inventory.

Jesse: (Whispers) I've got it covered.

Jesse sneaks through the room, until two puppies approach them and start yapping.

Jesse: Gah! Easy, puppies. (Waves bone) See? You like bones, right?

Jesse throws the bone into the fencing and the puppies run back towards it. Jesse looks back to see the bodyguards leaving the room and moves further. Suddenly, Jesse turns back to see many more puppies approaching them.

Jesse: Not again...

Jesse throws a second bone into the fencing and all puppies run back towards it.

Jesse: Coast is clear.

Jesse and Petra make their way into the treasure room.

Jesse: This is Stella’s “treasure room?“

Petra: Yeah.

Jesse: (Walking past) Trophy heads... gold pants... sponge blocks... a diamond hoe?

Petra: Yep... all bought from other people. Half of them still have the nametags of other people on them!

This is so sad.
She's a fake!
Seriously??
...

Jesse: Wow... that actually makes me kinda sad. She thinks that all it takes is having a room full of treasure. Even if you got it from other people...

Jesse: Okay, now I’m just getting mad. Being a hero and being cool is more than just having a room full of treasure! Especially treasure you got from other people.

Jesse: Okay, this is actually pretty funny. She seriously thinks THIS makes you a hero? Treasure you got from other people?

Petra: So weird, right? Just keeping all of this treasure she got from other people.

Petra: Not letting her keep MINE though. It must be in here somewhere. Listen... about what Stella said before, about being Champion City’s “Hero In Residence?“ It’s really no big deal. It's, y'know, nothing.

How could you do this?
You hid this from me!
What about Beacontown?
...

Jesse: But how could you pick Champion City? Stella is the worst.

Petra: I know, I know... it just, uh, it seemed like a good idea at the time, alright?

Jesse: I just can’t believe you didn’t tell me... that you thought you had to hide it.

Petra: I... didn't want to hurt your feelings, okay?

Jesse: But... what about Beacontown? It’s your home! You can’t just leave it behind!

Petra: It's never felt like my home, though. Beacontown is YOUR place.

Petra: Man, I wish you didn’t have to find out about it this way...

Petra: Augh! No matter what happens, no matter how much I do, YOU’RE the big hero. You probably don’t even remember what it’s like adventuring out there, scrounging for resources.

(Spent Time Preparing In Beacontown)
(Rushed to the Mines For Petra)

Petra: Just look at today! We were supposed to go on one adventure, and you were late. I can’t even get my “friends” to spend time with me.

Petra: You were on time today, that was great, but it’s hard to ignore that none of my friends are ever around anymore.

Petra: Do you know how it feels to show up for quest after quest and just hearing... "Aw, man. I'm sorry. Next time! Next time!" It gets embarrassing...

You haven't been loyal either.
It's not that simple.
Yeah, you're right.
...

Jesse: Well what about loyalty, huh? To your friends? The people who take care of you? Doesn’t that mean anything?

Petra: Of course it does, dummy. But do you really, like, expect me to just hang around waiting for you forever? I’ve got my own life, my own stuff, too!

Jesse: C’mon Petra, do you really think that’s fair? We have lives! I have a whole town depending on me!

Petra: Ugh. No... it wasn't. You might have a point.

Jesse: (Sigh) Yeah. You’re right. Of course you’re right. I know I haven’t exactly been the best friend, lately.

Petra: Ugh. Fine. Be that way.

Jesse: We’ll roll in, fight the bodyguards, snag the sword, get out again. Piece of cake.

Petra: I like the sound of that.

Jesse and Petra make their way to the treasure room entrance, where two bodyguards are standing.

Bodyguard: Hey! You can’t be in here!

Jesse and Petra approach the body guards and pull out their swords.

Bodyguard: And you definitely can't have those. (To other guard) Get 'em!

Petra: Let's fire it up.

Bodyguard: I don't like you!

The bodyguard slashes his sword at Jesse, who blocks it.

Jesse: Ha! Not a fan of yours either!

Jesse blocks another hit with their sword.

Jesse: We still really need to talk about this, Petra.

Petra: You really wanna discuss it NOW?

Jesse: Yes, I do!

Bodyguard: It does seem like weird timing-

Jesse: Shush.

Bodyguard: Hey! Shush YOU!

The bodyguard tries to attack Jesse again, who blocks it.

Jesse: I'm TRYING... to have a conversation here!

Jesse disarms the bodyguard. Petra disarms the other bodyguard. The bodyguards run away and Jesse and Petra enter the treasure room.

Jesse: This whole Champion City thing is kind of a big deal, don’t you think?

Petra: Is it, though? So I have a house here. So what?

Bodyguard: Hey! What’s going on out here?

Petra: Ughhhh.

Bodyguard: Raarrrrgh!

The bodyguard goes for Jesse, who blocks his sword.

Jesse: (To Petra) “So what?“ I feel like you’re deflecting the issue!

Bodyguard: Uh, me?

Jesse disarms the bodyguard.

Jesse: No, not YOU.

Bodyguard: Yipes!

Jesse: (To Petra) What about not wanting to be tied down? What about your friends?

Petra disarms the second bodyguard.

Petra: You mean the friends who are never around anymore?

Bodyguard: Uh... you guys don’t need me for-

Jesse punches the bodyguard from behind themselves, knocking him out.

Jesse: (To Petra) What did you say?

Petra: Augh! No matter what happens, no matter how much I do, YOU’RE the big hero. You probably don’t even remember what it’s like adventuring out there, scrounging for resources.

Petra: So weird, right? Just keeping all of this treasure she got from other people.

Petra: I know one treasure she doesn’t get to keep, though. Should be...

Petra: (Looks for sword) No! Where’d it go? Where’d she put it?

Jesse: You’re sure it was here?

(Chose to Sneak)
(Chose to Fight)

Stella: Ha! Hi-ya!

Jesse looks towards the door and sees Stella, walking backwards into her treasure room and waving the golden sword.

Jesse: Shh. Check it out.

Jesse and Petra hide behind a pillar.

Stella: (Commentating) "That’s right! It’s Petra, armed with her mighty sword, Miss Butter!" Hi-ya!

Jesse: This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. (Chuckles)

Stella: "And by her side is her best friend, the greatest hero in the world, Jesse! Together, they can take on-" (Sees Jesse) Uhh... hi! (Drops sword) Hello.

Jesse and Petra get out of hiding.

Stella: Uh... you! (Points) You should not be here! This... this is, um... this is incredibly awkward.

Oh, I got you now.
Actually I'm flattered.
Hand over the sword.
...

Jesse: Having a fun time Stella? Lil’ bit of pretend? Bet all your people out there would LOVE to hear about this.

Stella: Oh, please, no. No, no, no.

Jesse: I gotta tell ya, Stella. I’m actually a little flattered here. Didn’t know you thought so highly of me.

Stella: Uhh, no! No! I was being sarcastic because I hate you!

Jesse: Just hand over the sword, Stella. Don’t make me get tough here.

Stella: Fine! Fine.

Stella: I’m sorry, is this about the sword? I don’t know why you wouldn’t just come out and say so.

Stella: (Sigh) You can have your dumb sword back...

Jesse picks up the sword from the floor.

Stella: Let’s just pretend this whole thing never happened and I will let you go.

Jesse and Petra turn back to see Stella, holding the enchanted sword.

Stella: So, our rivalry escalates again.

(Played Along With Stella)
(Corrected Stella)

Jesse: Yes. I suppose it does. I can’t let you continue your nefarious ways.

Stella: Exactly what I'd expect from you, my nemesis.

Jesse: You're not my rival!

Stella: Says the person breaking into my treasure room! Classic rival move.

Stella: You shouldn’t be here.

Jesse: Well, you shouldn’t be such a jerk. Guess we’re ALL disappointed.

Jesse tackles the sword out of Stella's clutches. She steps back, holding both hands up.

Stella: Okay! Okay, fine! Just take it! Take the stupid sword! I've got better treasure than that, anyway. Who needs it?

Your deal with Petra is over.
No one cheats my friends.
You couldn't stop me.
...

Jesse: Your “deal” with Petra is over, Stella. No negotiations.

Stella: Sure, fine. She was a lousy "Hero in Residence" anyway.

Jesse: Hope you learned a lesson here, Stella. No one cheats my friends and gets away with it.

Stella: So classy. Just remember that you had to beat up on an innocent, beautiful, civic leader to get it.

Jesse: You couldn’t stop me if you wanted to. That sword is ours.

Stella: Yes, I’ve certainly learned how you deal with people you disagree with.

Stella: So classy. Just remember that you had to beat up on an innocent, beautiful, civic leader to get it.

Jesse and Petra leave the treasure room.

Stella: I won't forget this, Jesse! History will remember this as an important day in our rivalry!

(Played Along)
(Corrected Stella)

Jesse: That’s right! The day I reclaimed the upper hand!

Stella: Curse you, Jesse! Classic rival.

Stella: A day you will rue ‘til-

Jesse: STILL NOT MY RIVAL.

Stella: Aw, man...

Beacontown[]

Jesse and Petra take the path back to Beacontown. Petra waves her sword in the air in triumph.

Petra: Rah! Feels so good to have you back!

(Said “She won’t get away with this.”)
(Said Anything Else)

Petra: Thank you so much for your help. I know it got a little weird back there. I appreciate you still helping me anyway.

Don't worry about it.
I had to step in.
You owe me.
...

Jesse: Hey, it’s all in the past, Petra. Just happy to reunite you with your favorite deadly weapon.

Petra: Ohhh and it feels so good.

Jesse: Hey, you were clearly in way over your head. I had to step in.

Petra: Yeah... yeah, I guess I was.

Jesse: Well, you’re welcome, but you definitely owe me for that one.

Petra: Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Jesse says nothing.

Petra: What? Aw, come on. I’m sorry, okay? I already know I don't deserve this back.

I'm really disappointed.
I forgive you.
You lied to me!
...

Jesse: You really disappointed me, Petra. Don’t do it again, okay?

Petra: I won't. I won't.

Jesse: Ahh, I can’t stay angry at you, Petra. I’m really disappointed... but I forgive you.

Petra: Well, that's a relief. Heh.

Jesse: I know you’re really happy about getting your sword back, but I’m still upset. You lied to me!

Petra: And I feel terrible, alright?

Petra: Silent treatment... yeah, I get that.

Petra: I’m gonna make it up to you, I swear.

Jesse and Petra walk past the sign that was placed earlier.

Gauntlet: (Lights up) Jesssseeee...

Petra: What is that?

Suddenly, a loud thud is heard. They both turn back to see the ground shaking. Jesse jumps at Petra to bring her away from the explosion that is created. The heckmouth spits charged creepers to the surface.

Jesse: Sign didn't stop that.

Petra: Or those...

Jesse looks ahead to see creepers approaching the two.

Jesse: Whoa! That’s a lot of creepers!

Petra: And they’re charged?! That should be impossible!

Jesse: Tell THEM that!

Jesse rushes into some creepers with their sword, sending them back down into the hole as they explode. Jesse rushes into another creeper and attempts to slay it, but it breaks the sword.

Jesse: Gah! Stupid cheap sword!

Petra: I gotcha covered, Jesse!

Petra jumps in with her golden sword, sending the creeper into the heckmouth.

Petra: (Kisses sword) So good to have you back!

Jesse turns back to see another creeper approaching them and jumps out of its way. Jesse then looks back again to see multiple creepers approaching them.

Jesse: Oh no you don’t!

Jesse rushes into the creepers and punches them with the gauntlet, sending them into the heckmouth.

Jesse: WHOO! That would’ve been dumb... if it wasn’t so AWESOME!

Petra takes out the last of the creepers.

Jesse: C'mon, we need to get this thing covered up again.

Jesse and Petra gather some dirt blocks, which they use to seal the hole of the cavern. They sit down and catch their breath.

Jesse: I-I don't know how we're going to get this to hold. That Heckmouth blew right through the GROUND!

Petra: First your Prismarine gauntlet, then that Prismarine pit spitting out creepers... we need to get to Jack’s fast.

Jesse: Yeah... I hope this treasure hunter knows as much as you say he does.

Petra: He does. He's gotta. C'mon, I'll show you the way.

Jesse follows Petra into a dark alley in Beacontown.

Petra: Welcome to Bad Luck Alley.

Jesse: Wow, I didn’t even know people hung out down here at night.

Petra: Well, yeah, it’s the cool part.

Jesse: What's that supposed to mean?

Petra: Aw, you know. These are the people who like to live... off the grid. Outside the rules. And you’re kinda “The Boss.“ It’s just the way the world works. That's, like, the trade-off when you're in charge, you know that.

YOU hang out with me.
Thanks for showing me.
I can be cool too!
...

Jesse: YOU still hang out with me, though.

Petra: Well, yeah, but that's because I kneew you when you were still just a nerd in a treehouse. Don’t take it personally, dude.

Jesse: Well, I really appreciate you showing me. I know this is, like, your thing or whatever... and it’s nice of you to share.

Petra: You are such a cornball, but no problem.

Jesse: Well, then these people are dumb. Just because I’m “the boss” doesn’t mean I can’t mix it up.

Petra: Uh huh. Sure, sure.

Petra: Don’t take it personally, dude.

Petra: (Looking for shop) Should be somewhere down here... I think.

Jesse: Wait, have you never been here before? You said you knew a guy.

Petra: Okay, not “know him," know him. I know OF him.

Jesse stares at Petra, unconvinced.

Petra: Okay, fine. He's a legend, alright? He was once one of the greatest treasure hunters in the whole world, and... he's kind of a hero of mine. (Realisation) What should I say? What should I do? I can’t believe I’m about to meet Jack. What if he invites me to go adventuring with him? I've... I've heard legends of how great he is.

Be yourself.
Play it cool.

Jesse: Well, if I can offer some advice? Best thing to do around your heroes is just act like yourself. Otherwise, it's weird for everyone.

Petra: Be myself. Got it. Got it.

Jesse: Hey, you’re a great adventurer too, Petra. Just play it cool around him.

Petra: Well, I mean, I’m no JACK, but... I’ll give it a shot. Good advice.

Jesse: (Reading sign) “Jack & Nurm’s Adventure Emporium.“

Petra: Yup. That’s our place. (Excited) Man, I’ve always wanted an excuse to come here.

Jesse opens the door to the shop and walks inside. Petra follows.

Map Shop[]

Jesse and Petra enter Jack and Nurm's Adventure Emporium. Inside the shop are various treasures and artefacts. Petra takes a look around the shop.

Petra: Oh, wow. “The Upper Lowlands?“ “Spider-Peak Mountain?“ “The Ice Crags of Doom?“

Jesse takes a look around.

Petra: It's just like I told you, Jack might be the best adventurer in town! This stuff is from all over the world!

Beacontown is so cool.
No, WE'RE the best!
I'm not impressed.
...

Jesse: See, Petra? Beacontown has some pretty cool stuff too, huh?

Petra: Oh. Uh, well, I mean, what's cool about all of this is that it... isn't... from Beacontown, though. But, you've got a good point. This is a big win for Beacontown.

Jesse: I think you mean “best adventurer in town AFTER US.“

Petra: Oh, well, yeah. Of course I do. You're not jealous, are you? Because that sounded kinda jealous.

I'm just being sensitive.
Maybe a little.
Of course not!
...

Jesse: Eh, I’m probably just being overly sensitive after everything this morning with the llama stuff.

Jesse: Maybe a little.

Petra: Aww, Jesse. Don't be so insecure.

Jesse: No. Of course not.

Petra: Okay, if you say so. Well, just remember...

Jesse says nothing.

Petra: Just ‘cause I’m excited to meet these guys doesn’t mean that I think you’re any less cool.

Jesse: C’mon, Petra. You see some maps and dusty stuff and suddenly he’s “the best adventurer in town?“ Maybe he just owns the shop.

Petra: I'm telling you. The stories about this guy are AMAZING. You're not jealous, are you? Because that sounded kinda jealous.

I'm just being sensitive.
Maybe a little.
Of course not!
...

Jesse: Eh, I’m probably just being overly sensitive after everything this morning with the llama stuff.

Jesse: Maybe a little.

Petra: Aww, Jesse. Don't be so insecure.

Jesse: No. Of course not.

Petra: Okay, if you say so. Well, just remember...

Jesse says nothing.

Petra: Just ‘cause I’m excited to meet these guys doesn’t mean that I think you’re any less cool.

Petra: Heh. I just mean, uh... it’s all pretty cool.

Jesse approaches a log, with a button attached to it. On the log is a wooden sign that says "PUSH FOR SERVICE." Jesse pushes the button and it makes a buzzing sound.

Jack: Welcome to Jack & Nurm's Adventure Emporium.

Jesse turns around to see Jack, leaning against a pillar, with his back faced towards the two.

(Told Petra to Be Herself)
(Told Petra to Play It Cool)

Petra: Ohmigosh. It’s him. It’s Jack! Sorry. I’m... I’m a big fan.

Petra: (Gasp) I mean, sup.

Jack: You pushed the button. Very, very brave.

I AM very brave.
Are you being sarcastic?
I just pushed a button.
...

Jesse: Thanks for noticing. I am very brave.

Jack: Always good to see a hero that knows their own worth.

Jesse: Uhh, thanks. I think. You're not being sarcastic, right?

Jack: I don't make a habit of it.

Jesse: I mean, I don’t know how brave it was. I was just doing what the sign said.

Jack: Ha. There are lots of "signs" in the world. Not everyone's brave enough to follow them.

Jack: Hm. The P’ing-jau people settle land disputes with that kind of eye contact. But I don't think that's what you're doing.

Jack: The Warriors of the Whispering Mountain call me “The Stab-Walker.“ The Air Titans of the East call me “He Who Slashes Like Thunder.“ But you may call me... Jack.

Jack turns around and faces the two.

Petra: (Excited) So cool...

Nice to meet you!
Do you always talk like this?
You may call me... Jesse.
...

Jesse: So awesome to meet you! Love your shop.

Jack: ‘Course it is, and ‘course you do. Pleasure to have you in today.

Jesse: Do you... think you’ll start talking like a normal person, any time soon?

Jack: (Chuckles) All in good time.

Jesse: I have lots of names, too. The people of Sky City call me "The Ground-Finder." To some, I’m "The Wither Slayer." You can call me... Jesse.

Jack: Cool names.

Jack: A bold silence... a bold beginning. Nice.

Jack: So, what can I do for you today? Desert temple?

Jesse slams the gauntlet on the table.

Jack: Woodland mans-AAIE... whoa!

Jesse: Yeah. THAT'S what we're here about.

Jack: (Shaking) Wow, huh? Crazy glove you got there. Not that I’ve ever seen one before. Looks real crazy, though. Crazy stuff.

I thought you could help us.
We know you're lying.
Petra said otherwise.
...

Jesse: Found this way underground, beneath Beacontown. Thought you might be able to help us figure out where it came from.

Jack: You did, huh?

Petra: You can, can't you?

Jesse: Jack, look at yourself. We know you're lying. Why?

(Told Petra to Be Herself)
(Told Petra to Play It Cool)

Petra: Yeah, come on, Jack.

Petra: Yeah, uh, be straight with us, um... Daddy-o.

Jack: I... that is...

Jesse: "Never seen it before?" That's not the way I heard it. Petra here said you know more about this stuff than anybody.

(Told Petra to Be Herself)
(Told Petra to Play It Cool)

Petra: Yeah, come on, Jack.

Petra: Yeah. You know. Whatever.

Jack: I... that is...

(Told Petra to Be Herself)
(Told Petra to Play It Cool)

Petra: Come on, Jack. I know you can do it.

Jack: Well... for a fan.

Petra: C’mon, uh, dawg. Don’t leave us... hanging?

Jack: No. The Hill Warriors of Ruj-tar would never forgive me if I left someone hanging.

Jack: (Sighs) Found it on top of a creepy bottomless pit, right? Spitting out monsters?

Jesse: Yeah! And it had a slot with, like, a weird symbol?

Jack: Ugh. You should have never picked up that gauntlet. It's not for us mortals to tamper with...

It whispered my name.
Too late now.
It's just a glove.
...

Jesse: But it was whispering my name!

Jack: And that made you want to pick it up more?

Jesse: Wow. I’ll be sure to remember that, the next time I see a mysterious prismarine gauntlet.

Jack: That sass won’t fix the pit any faster, you know.

Jesse: I don’t get it, what’s the big deal? It’s a glove. There’s a hole in the ground.

Jack: Ohh, it's much more than that, friend.

Jack: That sass won’t fix the pit any faster, you know.

Jack: That pit... it’s as deadly as they come. And that symbol you saw... was the symbol... of the Structure Block. Legend says it was a mighty tool that could grow civilizations like seeds, create cities in the blink of an eye. You need one of those to close your pit.

Jesse: So, where can I get one of these “Structure Blocks?“ Petra thought maybe an Ocean Monument, because of the Prismarine?

Jack: Oh... it’s an Ocean Monument, alright. The Villagers of Mushroom Archipelago call it... “The Sea Temple.“

Nurm: [“There some kind of problem out here?“]

Jack: No, no. No problem. (To Jesse and Petra) Guys, this is Nurm - my other half. He's the genius behind all of our fine maps. (To Nurm) Nurm, this is Jesse and Petra.

Nurm: ["Charmed."]

Jesse: (Waves) Hi.

(Told Petra to Be Herself)
(Told Petra to Play It Cool)

Petra: Oh, hi!

Petra: (Poses) Sup.

Jesse: What are you doing with your hands?

Jack: (To Nurm) I was just about to tell these two that I can’t help them.

Jesse: What?

Jack: I love your early work. Witherstorm? Old Builders? Awesome. But, as a purveyor of fine maps and adventures... your death would be terrible for business.

Petra: But-

Jack: Sorry, I just can't.

Nurm: ["Jack..."]

Then help us.
Fine. We'll look elsewhere.
We're tough enough, Jack.
...

Jesse: Okay... so how about you come with us, then? You could, I dunno, protect us? Be our guide?

Jack: (Sigh) Vowed I’d never go back there again. Let me show you something.

Jesse: Well, then. I guess we’ll take our business elsewhere. Right, Petra?

(Told Petra to Be Herself)
(Told Petra to Play It Cool)

Petra: What? But...

Petra: Pfft. Yeah. That’s what we’ll do. J-just stroll right on outta here.

Jesse: (Under breath) Oh, wow. Petra, please stop...

Jesse: I'm guessing there are TONS of people who know where to find this place. (Opens door)

Jack: That's... where you're wrong.

Jesse: Jack, come on. Do I really need to list off all the amazing things we’ve done to prove that we’re tough enough to handle this? We can take anything you throw at us.

Jack: (Sigh) Let me show you something.

Petra: Jack, what’s going on here?

Jack: (Sigh) Let me show you something.

Jack: It’s like I said before. The world's... a lot bigger than you think, Jesse.

Jack approaches a large map in the wall and pulls a lever, activating a contraption. The contraption reveals additional parts of the map. One block of the map is missing.

Jesse: Lemme guess. The empty square is where we need to go.

Jack: Yep.

Petra: And it's missing because?

Jack: I, uh... kinda... burned it. I threw it into a volcano, okay?

Jesse: What? Why?!

Jack: You didn’t need that kind of danger anyway, alright? I swore I wouldn’t take anyone else to that temple, ever again. (Mournful) I refuse to let it take any more lives...

Nurm: ["Oh, here we go."]

Jack: Shut up, Nurm.

Petra: What?

We need that map.
We don't need protection.
You're not scared, are you?
...

Jesse: Jack, you don’t understand. We need that map.

Jack: And I hear you. I really do. But I swear to you... it’s not worth it.

Jesse: Jack, we don’t need you to bring us. We don’t need your protection. We’ll be fine.

Jack: And I believe that. I’m just tellin’ ya... it’s not that simple.

Jesse: Oh, I see what's going on here. You're scared.

Jack: No. I'm the one the Apex Hunters of the Sur'gao Pass call "Fearless Dagger." I don't do "scared."

Jack: Wow. You really got that much of a death wish, huh?

Jack: I found a gauntlet just like that, once. Teamed up with my friends, Vos and Sammy, to follow it's trail. (Tearful) Neither of them made it out alive. Hence, uh, you know, "lava," "map," "volcano." You remember what I was saying. Anyway. But burning the map couldn’t erase the... horrible memories. And, thanks to the curse of my perfect sense of direction, I couldn’t forget the location of that temple if I tried.

Jesse: So, if you're the only one who knows where it is...

Jack: Yep. Without me, you're never getting to that Sea Temple. That knowledge is... my curse.

Nurm: ["My poor friend."]

Petra: Heavy.

Nurm: ["He still has nightmares."]

Jack: Oh, you have no idea.

Guess we'll find someone else.
Time to face your demons.
We'll do this together.
...

Jesse: Wow, that does sound rough. Doesn’t it, Petra?

Petra: Yeah, it does.

Jesse: Too bad you won’t let us help, though. Guess we should just leave...

(Said "Fine. We'll look elsewhere.")
(Said Anything Else)

Jack: I know I shouldn't let that tactic get me twice... and yet, there's something about you that's just so darn compelling. You know what? You’ve inspired me. I mean, am I the Velvet Tornado or aren’t I?

Jesse: You... are, right?

Jack: Yes.

Jesse: Then yeah! That's the spirit!

Jack: Now, hang on a second. That sounds to me like a challenge. And no one, and I mean no one, challenges The Velvet Tornado - me - and gets away with it.

Petra: Yeah?

Jesse: Jack... I get that you’re haunted by horrible memories, but that’s no reason to sit around moping.

Jack: What'd you say?

Jesse: It’s time to get us some treasure and help you face your demons.

Petra: Yeah!

Jack: That sounds to me like a challenge. And no one, and I mean no one, challenges The Velvet Tornado - me - and gets away with it.

Petra: Yeah?

Jesse: Jack. Jack! Sounds to me like it’s your lucky day! Petra and I have a lot of great experience helping people get over their tragic backstories!

Petra: We do?

Jack: Yeah?

Jesse: Yeah! We'll tackle that temple together!

Jack: You know what? You’ve inspired me. I mean, am I the Velvet Tornado or aren’t I?

Jesse: You... are, right?

Jack: Yes.

Jesse: Then yeah! That's the spirit!

Jack: For so long, I’ve been waiting... hesitant to go on this journey with anyone. But you? You've got that "strong silent type" thing going on. I think I can work with that. You know what? You’ve inspired me. I mean, am I the Velvet Tornado or aren’t I?

Jesse: You... are, right?

Jack: Yes.

Jesse: Then yeah! That's the spirit!

Jack: Nurm? Time to get our adventuring things!

Nurm: ["Yeah!!"]

Nurm follows Jack to another part of the shop.

Petra: Jesse! It’s perfect! “Structure Block?“ “Sea Temple?“

Jesse: I know. It’s amazing. Almost too good to be true!

Petra: (Excited) Auugh, YES!

(Told Petra to Be Herself)
(Told Petra to Play It Cool)

Petra: And Jack? Man, he is AWESOME, right? Augh... I can't believe it. I'm going on an adventure with Jack! (Punches air) Eee!

I like him.
He better be good.
Not sure if I trust him.
...

Jesse: I like him! Can't wait to see him in action out there.

Petra: I was just thinking the same thing! He actually seems pretty cool...

Jesse: Let’s just hope he’s as good as he says he is.

Petra: He's a little... blustery, but I get a good vibe off him. I can't wait to see him in action.

Jesse: I dunno. Not sure if I trust him.

Petra: Eh, you're being paranoid. I think he seems pretty cool.

Petra: Well, I think it’s gonna be awesome!

Petra: Oh! By the way... am I doing a good job "playing it cool?" Think he thinks I'm cool? I know I was a little awkward at first.

Cool is relative.
You're doing... great.
Enough with the cool.
...

Jesse: Eh, what’s “cool,“ anyway? A temperature, right? Who cares?

Petra: Wait, what?

Jesse: Oh, yeah. You've been very cool. Very... natural.

Petra: I'm trying really hard. But... I was feeling really good about it back there.

Jesse: (Under breath) Wow.

(This option will make Petra stop Playing It Cool and make her Be Herself)

Jesse: Petra, I’m going to say this as your best friend and someone who cares about you very deeply. Please, never "play it cool" again.

Petra: Never?

Jesse: Never. Ever.

Petra: Ouch. Okay, fine.

Petra: Uh, hello?

Jack: Nurm, I told you, it's not the Admin's-

Nurm: ["I've decided."]

Jack: UGH, fine.

Jesse: What'd he say?

Jack: Nothin’. Villager stuff. Nurm here... wants to make a new map of this place, what with the, uh, whole lava-volcano incident...

Nurm: [“Darn straight."] (Excited chatter)

Jack: Easy, Nurmie. Don't blow a gasket.

Why's Nurm so excited?
Villagers adventure?
Welcome aboard!
...

Jesse: What's got you so excited about this one?

Nurm: (Excited chatter)

Jack: Uhh, I'll... explain on the way.

Jesse: Huh, I didn’t know you Villagers went on adventures.

Nurm: ["Most don't. That's true."]

Jack: Yeah, most don't. (Chuckles) You know, I remember when we first met, we had- ah, well... that's another story for another day. All you gotta know is there’s no one else I’d rather have by my side.

Jesse: That's awesome, Nurm. Welcome aboard!

Nurm: ["Woo hoo!"]

Jack: He says "woo hoo."

Jesse: Yeah, I figured that out.

Nurm: ["What are we waiting for?"]

Jack: Uh... Nurm says he’s “ready to cruise” if you guys are.

Jesse: So, that means we're off to the Sea Temple?

Jack: Don’t you think you’re looking a little... squishy for that?

Jesse: Seriously? You’re wearing a vest.

Jack: The Vest of Five Fists! Gifted to me by the Singing Clerics of Port-

Jesse: Okay, geez. I get it. It's a cool vest. C'mon, I just need to make a quick pitstop and I can show you some REAL armor...

Order Hall[]

Jesse leads the group to the Order Hall, where Radar is waiting.

Radar: Ohh, Jesse! I'm so glad you're here.

Jesse: Hey, Radar.

Radar: There is a LOT going on. (Pulls out book) Someone still needs to finalize the ideas for the Founding Day banners...

Radar: The Cake-Baking Team can't agree on what color to make the front of their shop. The Wool-Makers Guild isn’t super happy about their booth being next to the Firework Union. Understandable. The delegate from Boom Town left word that she wanted to make a speech at the parade. Very odd? Blue hair? Smells like sulfur? Speaking of which, YOU should probably work on your Founding Day keynote address. Oh, and rehearse it! Why didn’t I factor in rehearsal time? Stupid STUPID. I’m sure I can shift a few things around, maybe push back your lunch with the Followers of Soren. They’re very strange, anyway. They’ll understand... maybe. And did you know Lukas left another draft for you to look at? I said you’d try and give notes, when possible, but not to get his hopes up. Annnnd then, I left a general block of time for “Founding Day Related Disasters.“ Figured that would cover any of the various and sundry things that come up.

(The above dialogue can be interrupted at any moment, depending on which of the below choices are picked. If the Radar! option is picked then the dialogue will instantly stop, unlike almost all other dialogue choices where Jesse will allow another character to finish their current sentence before speaking.)

Radar.
Radar?
Radar!
...

Jesse: Radar.

(Radar will keep talking, unless the Radar! option is picked or Jesse waits for him to finish what he's saying.)

Jesse: Radar?

(Radar will keep talking, unless the Radar! option is picked or Jesse waits for him to finish what he's saying.)

Jesse: RADAR!

Jesse waits for Radar to finish.

Radar: Ahh! Sorry, got in the zone there. (Closes book) What’s up, boss? I see you brought friends? (Eyes gauntlet) And a new accessory?

Jesse: Short version? The town’s in danger. I stopped it for now, but I think this can help me fix it permanently. I’ll be gone for a little bit.

Radar: G-gone? But, Jesse... what about Beacontown? Founding Day is right around the corner and and if it’s really... in-in-in DANGER, who will protect everyone? There's no telling what could happen! And I have so few details! I am VERY nervous about this...

You can lead them.
The town will be fine.
...

Jesse: Why don't you try leading them, pal?

Radar: What?? Me!? That's... this is...

Petra: Try not to explode.

Radar: Eee!! Jesse, I won't let you down.

Jesse: I know you won't.

Radar: Good luck, boss. Beacontown will be waiting for you when you get back.

Jesse: Radar, I think the town will be fine for ONE adventure. Petra and I need to do this.

Radar: Okay... if you really say so. Well, um, best of luck. I’ll be anxiously awaiting your return.

Radar: Very, um, very inspiring. Well, um, best of luck. I’ll be anxiously awaiting your return.

Nurm: ["Nervous lil fella."]

Jack: Heh, you said it. (To Jesse) Can't believe THAT's your assistant. He's more wound up than a pack of parrots with a jukebox. Or a... creeper in a herd of cats. Or a... squid in a- I don't- a box, or somethi- I... anyway, he's real nervous, is what I'm saying.

He needs to calm down.
He's a good guy.
You scare him.
...

Jesse: Yeah, he’s pretty... hyperactive. Wish I could get him to calm down.

Jack: Maybe teach him to meditate, like the Knights of the Shu'jay Forest.

Jesse: He’s a little nuts, but his heart’s in the right place.

Jack: If you say so.

Jesse: Can you blame him? You’re kind of an intimidating guy.

Jack: Aww, thank you.

Jack: Knew a guy like that, once. So many to-do lists, he starved because he couldn’t find the list reminding himself to eat. True story. Sad.

Jack: So, where's this armor of yours?

Jesse leads the group through the Order Hall. Jack looks around at the treasures.

Jack: Oh, wow. You've got some pretty cool stuff here. Stuff I've never, er, probably only seen, yknow, once or twice. Not as cool as MY stuff, obviously, but you’re well on your way. Definitely on your way to becoming a big hero like me. Not AS big, of course. But, uh... y’know, a real, a real great swing.

I DO love adventure.
I'm good at what I do.
I had a lot of help.
...

Jesse: Best part is there’s always another adventure on the horizon.

Petra: Yeah! Like a Sea Temple!

Jack: Yeah, okay. Not exactly what I meant, but sure.

Jesse: Yeah? You ever fought a Witherstorm? Or the Old Builders?

Jack: Well, yeah. Well, um, well... uh, no. Not specifically those... but, uh, you know, I did stuff.

Petra: Wanna cool the ego there, Jesse? Jack’s done some amazing stuff too.

Jesse: It's just like I always say. Couldn't have done it without my friends.

Jack: Yeah. Friends are the best. (Tearful) Love... having friends.

Jack: A strong silent walk. Another good step. Nice.

Petra: (Looking around) Hey, wait. Is this not where you keep your armor, anymore?

Jack: Yeah, I'm not seeing any armor...

Jesse: No, no. I just had Olivia install a little upgrade, while she was here.

Jesse approaches a lever by the stairs and pulls it, activating a contraption. A recording of Olivia's voice is played.

Recording: Initiating Armor-Up Sequence...

Several armor stands emerge from the opening tiles in the floor.

Jack: Pfft. Yeah. I've got one of those, too.

(Optional Interactions)
...

Look at Redstone Riot
Look at Golden Goliath
Look at Ender Defender
Look at Star Shield
Look at Shield of Infinity
Look at Dragonsbane
Look at Swordbreaker
Look at Tim's Armor
Look at Ellegaard's Armor
Look at Magnus' Armor
Look at Adamantium Impervium

Jesse: "The Redstone Riot." Beautiful engineering on this one.

Petra: I like the glowy bits. That's a, heh, technical term.

Jesse: "Golden Goliath." Always loved how shiny this one is.

Jack: Yeah, just like the Prideful Warriors of the Shimmering Plains. So tough, they like to make sure their enemies can always see them coming.

Jesse: "The Ender Defender." Very fresh armor.

Jack: Hm. Reminds me of the Pukchuk Slime Runners. Very tough cookies.

Jesse: "The Star Shield." Great set of armor.

Petra: Yeah. Very sleek, very spacey.

Jesse: “The Shield of Infinity.“ I love how regal this one looks.

Petra: I feel like Ivor might've been running out of ideas when he named it, though.

Jesse: "Dragonsbane." So cool.

Jack: Great name, too. Color me impressed. I am.

Jesse: “Swordbreaker.“ Nice classic name, awesome modern look.

Jack: I think that one might just be my favorite. Seriously.

Petra: Yeah? That one?

Jesse: Glimmering diamonds and shiny gold. Tim would've looked great in it... if he was real.

Petra: So much pomp, for a guy who never actually existed.

Jesse: Non-existent guy’s loss, MY gain.

(If Jesse took Ellegaard's armor in Season 1)

Jesse: How cool is Redstone-infused armor?

Petra: Ellegaard was incredibly crafty.

Jesse: I wonder what sort of awesome Redstone contraptions she'd be making these days.

(If Jesse took Magnus' armor in season 1)

Jesse: Griefer armor, if I’ve ever seen it. Magnus was a crazy guy.

Petra: Yep. Went out doing what he loved most.

Jesse: Blowing stuff up.

Jesse: Ah, “Adamantium Impervium.“ I always suspected this one was Ivor’s favorite.

Petra: I think he just liked saying the name.
