Here's their second night.
As they climbed the foothills, Acit saw a skeleton up higher on the mountain staring and them and pulling back his bow. Acit dodged the skeleton's shot, took a shot at the skeleton, and got the skeleton. The skeleton then fell into pieces and disappeared.
"Nice shot," said Nocch, "you're awesome at bow and arrows."
"Yeah, thanks," said Acit
Suddenly, Nocch and Sbarklez were hit by a splash by some sort of potion. Acit turned around, and saw a witch (a hostile mob that came with the recent update that uses splash potions). As Nocch and Sbarklez switched to their weapons and started to move towards the witch, it became evident that they were effected by slowness. The witch took out two other splash potions, and splashed Acit with one of them. Acit tried to dodge but was too slow and was hit by the splash potion. Instantly, everything started to spin a bit and he became really dizzy and kind of wanted to throw up; it was the nausea splash potion. Then, while he was still really dizzy, another potion was thrown at him, and his sight instantly went away. Everything was black, and he realized he had been affected by the blindness splash potion.
Acit felt vulnerable because of his blindness and nausea so he just switched to his weapon and didn't do much else but stand there. Suddenly, he could there slashing sounds, and could tell that the other two had gotten the witch.
"Whoa, that was out of nowhere," said Sbarklez
"Yeah, I know, I wasn't prepared for that," said Nocch, "you've been slowed too haven't you Sbarklez? What do you have, Acit?"
"Blindness and Nausea," said Acit
"Oh," said Sbarklez as he reached out his hand to Acit, "here, I'll lead you."
"Alright, thanks," said Acit
"No problem," said Sbarklez," we have to find shelter soon."
"Maybe we should climb a bit more," said Nocch, "so that we can have a higher view of what goes on down at the highlands."
"Okay," said Sbarklez "sure, that's a good idea. Let's go."
The three climbed for a little bit and stopped at a flat platform still on the foothills that was dominated by a tree. Acit noticed he wasn't very nauseous anymore but a little nauseousness still lingered. They started to mine into the side of the mountain for long term shelter since they're going to stay there. After a few minutes, Acit got his sight back, but still had a slightly blurred vision.
"I can see!" said Acit
"Good!" said Sbarklez
"Are you still nauseous? We can move at a normal speed now," said Nocch
"I'm still a bit nauseous and I still have a blurred vision," said Acit
"It'll clear up after a while," said Sbarklez
"How are we gonna build our base? We're gonna stay here for pretty long," said Acit
"Yeah, we should have it go straight down to bedrock level, that would be cool," said Nocch
"Let's just build a temporary shelter for tonight," said Sbarklez
"Okay," said Acit
"Alright," said Nocch
They worked on a temporary little makeshift cave, blocked off the entrance except for a 1x3 hole in the wall, and rested.
"Gonna mine tonight?" asked Acit
"Yeah, Sbarklez, gonna mine?" asked Nocch
"No, I'm exhausted, I'm just gonna rest," answered Sbarklez as he sat down
Nocch sat down besides Sbarklez, and Acit went to the window and stared out. After a while, Acit saw two people riding on mobs. One of them was riding on a pig while carrying a golden carrot on a stick, while the other one, who was probably rider kit (ride any passive mob you want), was riding on a cow while carrying a torch. They talked, and their voices were loud and echoing up to Acit's ears.
"Come on, let's pick up the pace," said the rider kit, "you like the snowy areas don't you? You can run much faster there. We're near the snowy areas, we just need to follow the mountains and go through a bit of woods and then we'll be there!."
"Okay," said the supposedly frosty kit (run much faster on snow), "but I still think traveling at night isn't the best idea. What if we accidentally fall into a ravine or something?"
"It'll be okay," said the rider kit, "I have a torch. Don't worry about the hostile mobs either, because you have a bow and arrow, right? I also have an iron sword. We don't have much of a choice anyway, the rest of the team is waiting on us. They're in the tundra, starving and need the food we're bringing. We also need the iron and diamonds they have for us before we meet someone with heavy armor or a strong sword."
"Yeah," said the frosty kit, "that's true."
"Hey!" said Acit to the other two guys, "wanna snipe them and get them?"
"Sure!" said Nocch
"No, I don't think they can beat us," said Acit, "but I do think they can hurt us and lower our defenses."
"Oh," said Nocch
"He's got a point," said Acit
After a while, the two mob riders went out of the range of sight of the 1x3 window. Then, Acit saw a player that was apparently tracking down the two riders. The player had no armor on and only a stone sword, but still looked remarkably dangerous. An ocelot (cat) was following her. Her name was KillerKat94. Acit looked around and looked at Nocch, who was also by the window and looking back and Acit. They promised Twofaced that they would kill any career tributes that they could handle. They kept watching for a while. A creeper approached KillerKat.
"Hisssssssssss!" said the creeper as it prepared for explosion
"Hissssssssss!" said the ocelot back to the creeper.
"Good ocelot," said KillerKat as the ocelot chased the creeper away and came back to her side.
"Hey Sbarklez," said Acit, "It's KillerKat94."
Sbarklez was asleep.
"He's asleep," said Nocch, "I think we should let him sleep, we can take care of him ourselves."
"Okay," said Acit
"Here's the plan: I'll run down and while I'm running down, you shoot her as many times as you can. Then, I'll easily take care of her," said Nocch, "are you still dizzy? Do you still have blurred vision?"
Acit was still a bit ailmented but he didn't want to admit it because he didn't want to stop them from getting the ex-career tribute KillerKat94.
"I'm fine, you can go ahead," said Acit
"Okay," said Nocch as he unblocked the entrance and stepped out
"Good luck," said Acit as he stepped out to the platform too
Instantly, KillerKat94 noticed Nocch and prepared to lunge. Acit took a shot and hit KillerKat's right leg. Nocch rushed down the mountain the jumped off the lowest hill to be lunged at by KillerKat, who plucked the arrow out, seemed to be in pain for a moment, and got back to fight mode. The two met in midair and fell. Nocch first used his fists for unexpected strength but then that got insufficient and he changed to an iron sword. KillerKat matched Nocch's strength and speed with agility and viciousness. They fought on and on, and Acit shot one arrow after another. Acit was able to shoot one of KillerKat's arms once with his still blurred vison, but she kept on fighting, although with less vigor. Acit took another arrow, pulled it back extremely hard this time, and then Nocch fell down to the ground.
The next thing Acit saw was Nocch on the ground with an arrow through his iron armor into his head. He stared in disbelief at what happened. He had killed his teammate by a missed arrow due to his blurred vision. Nocch then disappeared, leaving behind his items. Everything felt unreal for a moment, but he was snapped back to reality was KillerKat94.
"I am coming for you!" she said in a threatening voice. She was weak and crawling on the ground.
Acit pulled back his arrow and it darted across to puncture KillerKat all the way through her stomach. She was almost dead, and had only half a heart left. She hissed and quickly dug under before Acit could shoot again.
"If I see you again, I will shoot you," said Acit. KillerKat dug far away. Acit was furious with himself, he wanted to jump off the mountain. Acit suddenly noticed a bunch of monsters around him staring at him. He decided to quickly return to the flat platform. He still has to explain to Sbarklez. As he dug into the cave, the sound woke Sbarklez up.
"Hey Acit," said Sbarklez, "whoa, what happened?"
Acit explained to him the fight with KillerKat excluding Nocch's death.
"Ok, it's good you drove away KillerKat, we should kill her next time," said Sbarklez, "but wait, where's Nocch?"
Sbarklez suddenly had a fearful expression on his face.
"Don't say..." said Sbarklez, "that he's dead."
"Sorry but yes he is," said Acit
"He was a good fighter, he should have killed her before she killed him! Next time I see KillerKat I will kill her myself!" said Sbarklez
"The thing is," said Acit, "you remember I was helping shoot KillerKat while he fought her, right?"
"Yeah," said Sbarklez, "you said that."
"I accidentally headshot Nocch," said Acit
Suddenly, Sbarklez's fury was redirected to Acit. Sbarklez started to slash at Acit but was knocked away by Acit's knockback wooden stick.
"Chill out, Sbarklez!" said Acit
"Okay, since you've been a good teammate, I'll let you live," said Sbarklez, "but, I don't want to and can't be your team anymore."
"Why?" said Acit
"I'm leaving, and if I ever find you again, I will have diamond," said Sbarklez, " and I will kill you."
"Bye" said Acit, "good luck."
Sbarklez grunted and started to dig down and away.
As Acit waited in the cave for morning, he could not believe that he had lost his team so fast. Without a team, Acit began to see more clearly the reality and terror of the hunger games. He felt exposed, unprotected, and alone.
"Whatever," said Acit, "I don't need a team. Now, I have much more freedom. I can do whatever I want without worrying about my teammates. I can go anywhere I want without agreeing with my team. I also don't have to worry about betraying teammates!"
For the rest of the night, Acit waited in the cave and planned what he would do. He decided he would go check out the trade tower. He would then follow his plan he made before the game started and before he got his team: go out to sea to hide until player numbers died down. After that, he might go visit the cornucopia. As the morning approached, he stepped out and retrieved the items Nocch dropped off which he forgot to pick up earlier. He started to descend the foothills and towards the trade tower as a lone wolf player.
What Sbarklez did during the rest of the night: He dug down and into the mountains, and found many ores including redstone. He also mined into the underground mining system just as morning approached.
