Grian's 3rd Life: Episode 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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