"Is this working?"

"Yes, the elevator has been working."

"No, not the elevator, the redstone paths. You're sure the defenses will hold?"

"I am positive that OBSIDIAN can withstand. Besides, the wall is three blocks tall. Nothing could get through."

"Ok."

"You know, you don't need to worry. We haven't had our base even approached by a mob in weeks.

You act as if this will all restart if we even see a mob. Lighten up Ty."

"You know I hate attacks though. You are too lax James, and it will be the death of you."

"But our defenses are too good. We can't be attacked frontally because of the FIVE BLOCK THICK wall of three block tall

OBSIDIAN, which can even withstand Creepers. We also can't be attacked by Endermen, because we have a twenty block radius moat.

We have the RIGHT to be lax. And you know perfectly well that when all else fails I take charge."

"Well..."

"And I am not lax. I just don't have constant red-alert. Unlike someone I know..."

"ARGH!You made your point! We are well protected! I just want to make sure it stays that way!"

"These plans can't fail. They were made to withstand WITHERS. And Withers are walking grenade launchers!"

"Alright, alright. Well, we're gonna need more food soon. Which of us should go?"

"You know how we pick..."

"Fine..."

'*'*'*'*'

The way we pick is simple: there are three levers attached to dispensers. These dispensers have a random ore inside. Whoever gets the least valuable ore has to go.

"Well here goes..."

"Wait! We have to call up Theo!"

"Right. Can't do this without him."

"THEO! We're picking who gets to get resources!"

"Be up in a sec!"

By the way, in case you haven't noticed, my name's Ty. I am the Lookout General, which in my brother's opinion,(James'), is worrying about every single particle that moves. He is the ideas. He has the plan for every defense and convenience imaginable. From the walls to the moat to the elevator, its all him. However, I think he's a bit too confident in his work.

Then there's my third brother, Theo. Not short for Theodore, just Theo. He is the builder. He always is building, unless its time to choose who gathers or meals. He often builds things we don't ask for. So just the other day he had built a storage building for us to use. He hadn't told me, an when I saw it, I expected ruins and raised the alarm. This happens often, which earned me my reputation of thinking every shadow held a mob. It earns no end of ridicule from James, and much to my chargin insults Theo.

So we call him up from his forge, and we begin. *pulls lever* "Yes! Gold! The only way to beat it is diamond!"

"Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I got diamond."

Ok, James won't go. What Theo got now determines everything.

"What did you get Theo?"

Uh-oh. A smile. He never smiles. This can't be good.

"But he can't have..."

The only way to beat diamond. Obsidian. But he couldn't have. There's only one per dispenser!

"Theo?"

"I...win."

NOOO! He got it!

"I guess I'll go..."

'*'*'*'*'

So. I just have to search then, So I grab my armour and sword, both quartz. They have fond memory. I was once out in the plains, back when the wall was only made of cobblestone, in my old iron armour. I washoping to find better ore because of the endless condescending jabs I was getting about my armour and sword quality. So I found an old villager. I spoke with him, hoping his price wasn't to steep. It turns out, he was offering five mystery chests in exchange for a set of Iron armour and sword! So I thought about it and accepted.(It could have had diamonds!) He gave me the chests and DISAPPEARED. So I placed the chests and opened them. What I found looked like white dyed leather armor and a painted sword, except the leather didn't have the usual stripe. I was upset about such a thing until I showed it to Theo, the expert on armors of the three of us. What he told me shocked me and immediately made me grab said armour. It was Quartz! More enchantable than gold and stronger than diamond! Best of all, it DOESN'T BREAK! I had hit the jackpot! So, since then, its the only armour and sword I use.

So I came back a few days later with eight stacks of meat, herbs, ores, and wood. Such is expected, and is why going out for resources is such a big to-do.

"So you still use that armour?"

"Yep James, its gotten me through thick and thin. I also feel more, well, protected in it. Remember that freak Wither that we found?"

"Yea, that was a lot. Amazingly,you only lost one heart. That must be some armour."

"We should do things like that more often."

"Find Withers?"

"No, adventure."

"We could. Just replace the daylight sensor with a lever and we would have 24/7 invincible defenses."

"Lets see if Theo wants to go, and we'll shove off the day after!"

"Yeah!"

So now we just have to call in Theo.

"Hey Theo, want to go on an adventure again like that time we found the Wither?"

No response. He's been spending more and more time in that forge of his. I worry about him sometimes...

"Yea, why not. I'll be up by tomorrow, go ahead and pack my things."

Alright then. That was easy.

'*'*'*'*'

"Well, we finally got done packing our bags. And Theo's."

"G'night James."

"G'night Ty."

"YAWN!" Well, its morning. Tim to get James and Theo.

"James! Theo!"

That's a first. Theo outside on the roof, staring at the countryside and sunrise.

"Hey Theo, did you finish your project?"

"Yep, and I even replaced the daylight sensor."

"Good! What was the project?"

"What I've been cooped in my forge so long doing is actually quite simple:ever since I saw it, I've been trying to replicate your armour."

"Awesome! How did it go?"

"I couldn't replicate your armour, but I made similiar sets."

"What ores?"

"Obsidian, and Redstone."

"Who gets what?"

"I get Redstone and James gets Obsidian."

"I figured he'd want it that way."

"Same here. Speaking of, that sounds like him now."

"Where are you guys?"

"On the roof. We have a surprise. Or more accurately, Theo has a surprise."

"Quick, put on your armor Theo!"

"Got it."

As he climbed out the window, his face turned from his usual groggy, phased look to that of surprise.

"Is there one for me?"

"Yes. Its your favorite, Obsidian."

"Oh thanks Theo!"

"No prob'."

"Now let's go! The food's packed, the swords sharpened! On an adventure we will go!"

"...Defenses are on. We should leave through the river intake."

"Alright."

"Quick, grab two snow blocks, three iron blocks, and two pumpkins!"

"Why?"

"Golems."

"Alright..."

"Now, we must take our leave. First, set the golems up here, for extra protection."

"ALRIGHT. Adventurer or not, you will always worry too much."

"NOW, we take our leave."

"Goodbye Golems! Take care!"

And with that, we leave.
