The Story of the Villager and the Emeralds

Let me tell you the story of the villager and the emeralds. A villager was minding his own business: he traded with strangers, mumbled nonsense, opened and closed doors for no reason, and huddled with ten others in a house to avoid the terrors of the night. Then, one day, he found himself the last villager of the village. The zombies had finally taken them all. Then, he was taken as well.

For a long while he knew nothing but lust for brains. Then, when a particular brain kept eluding his grasp, a glass bottle hit him, covering him with liquid, and he got weak. Then someone stuck a golden apple down his throat. He didn't try to stop eating it, just thought it was unusual because villager flesh was his usual diet. There was a long period of unease and he awoke and knew not what had happened. He was back to normal. So he went back to slamming doors and mumbling nonsense even though he was the only one left in the village. 

That night a stranger came to trade rotten zombie meat for emeralds. The villager was happy to trade the emeralds for the meat, although he didn't understand why. Then, as he was handing over the emeralds, the door behind the stranger opened. A zombie walked in and he remembered the terror. The stranger whipped out a flaming sword and began hacking at the zombie. The villager was so scared, he just ran for the door and right in front of the swinging sword. In a flash of pain and fire he expired on the doorstep. Life had seemed so great after the mysterious cure, until this.

In this way the last villager died and the stranger, played by Mark, cursed to the high heavens. "Now I can't get those darn emeralds!!!" 

Mark had to quit that world and play the tutorial level to scam for the final few emeralds needed to get the last achievement in Minecraft XBO Edition.  What a way to end it. Classic.

nice interpretation. Life is rough for zombies, man.

I don't care a lick for the standard zombie in Minecraft. Those guys get my Smite IV sword to the throat before they can even groan at me, but I gotta get close to see if they are actually villagers turned to zombies. I have a lot of sympathy for them and discovered that I can heal them on the fly without having to pen them up first. Then they can offer me rare items. Ok, so that's kind of conditional caring.

Thanks. I got it all done a little before Mark did, so I tried to help him through the last few achievements, not that he really needed it that much. Usually he beats me to the end of a game.

Sounds like something that would happen to me. I finally killed the Golden Dragon in the Ancient Ruins in Fantsy Life and was hauling the bounty chest out with me to cash in and I got attacked by something minor, but when you take out your weapons to fight, you drop any chests you're dragging, and one of my allies pulled off a big magic attack that killed the enemies, but it also disintegrated the chest, which probably contained either dragon meat or dragon scales, both of which I need to finish up a couple of crafting challenges.

Ooo. That sucks. I need to play more Fantasy Life. I remember dragging those chests around and worrying about losing them. Sad to hear you can get them destroyed in a battle.

Enemies will target them specifically. If the monster was strong enough, the chest wlll withstand a couple of hits, but not when you've recruited the highest level mage you can in the game Frown. It could also have been my ally Odin, the Maajiknight, he's pretty strong, too. Either way, it was one of my party members and not one of the enemies that did it.

That's even worse. Got to make those AI partners behave!
