Chapter 4 - Fortpala

Sorry for it taking so long to post I had testing to prepare for

After waking up, I took a couple of minutes to adjust to my surroundings. I was in a small cage, surrounded by Pillager and being pulled by Ravagers. 

It appeared that the cage was not alone as there were multiple. Next to me was a zombie trying to get to my cage but failing miserably

More importantly, a bit to the side, I noticed three small clearing holes in my cage I could notice a giant fortress on the walls. Were ballistas. In normal Minecraft would do nothing but I guess this isn't exactly normal Minecraft.

Furthermore, I noticed that additionally, Pillager armed the wall completely from all sides I could see the cage was about 40 blocks away from the inside of the fort. In the centre of the Ford looked to be a large sort of castle like a mansion

After a couple of minutes of waiting, I noticed that we were finally inside the fortress from what I could see Pillager was all around trading various goods whether that be emeralds for weapons, iron for gold or even arrows for emeralds, it was a mix of different things.

Most importantly, though I noticed a Pillager talking to another Pillager the first Pillager appeared to be the leader of the caravan. The second one appeared to be some guy in charge of the imports into the fortress.

You found some kind of new mob and you're willing to trade it to us.

Those are my exact words, aren't they?

Fair enough, but even with the opportunity of a new mob being valuable, what do you know that it does and what value could it serve?

Well, it's capable of breaking blocks at five times the speed of a normal villager or Pillager. It's also able to make these stone golems or maybe only one, but it made one regardless of how many it can make.

Interesting and you're willing to hand it over

That depends on what you're willing to pay

OK, how about 64 emeralds and 20 gold for the entire caravan

(The first Pillager's eyes visibly widened his mouth for a couple of seconds before fixing his expression)

OK sounds like a deal. I ask why you're willing to offer so much more since we're doing the trade.

If you haven't noticed the Evoker stationed at this outpost died a week ago we got a new guy, some idiot calling himself Liam

So you got an Evoker what's the problem?

Well, he is not exactly intelligent nor does he use conventional spells

Elaborate

(second Pillager let out a visible and long sigh)

Unlike normal evokers he's able to create slashes instead of summoning vexes, he summons his crows which get dumber the more he summons. They're also all named Jerry for some reason. And worst of all every time he tries to make a totem of undying. He ends up, making some kind of totem of saturation or he blows a hole in the side of the tower

Yikes, that sounds rough. 

You don't know the half of it.

And if he's not wrecking the entire Pillager establishment he's goofing around and wasting resources

Then why not just try to file for another one?

Well, because we don't rake enough profit, they don't think that " worth the resources"

It's beginning to get on my nerves worse off although he's able to cure poisons he barely does it saying "It's boring"

OK well this trade should supply you with some resources and with a new mob discovered it should put you back on the map 

Here's hoping 

REZO POV 

The cart violently shook while I was inside it from what I could see we were being moved inside of the fortress Pillager as far as I can see various resources gathered around the base separate sections for housing training

Unfortunately, even if I wanted to, I couldn't escape as much as I was confident with my very limited abilities 

As I kept counting there were over 80 and I hadn't even seen half the base all of a sudden the crate began being taken separately by some kind of crane mechanism. It resembled a large piston with hooks at the end attached to what looked to be an actual crane

Ow couldn't find movie crates that were in a bit more gently so what do I have on me that could help me escape?

3 diamonds

2 emeralds

27 iron

61 stacks of oak logs

13 Red-stone blocks

And at least a stack of useless resources like dirt or seeds. And a plentiful amount of stone

What can I craft with those resources? Nothing useful that could get me out of here. Wait a minute.

Crafting table

Three irons on top

Sticks on the bottom

Iron pickaxe

Iron covering the corners

Sticks in the bottom

Iron axe

And an iron sword. I'm not describing that one. It's just an iron sword.

I could use these resources to escape or I could figure out what's happening and rob this pillager Fortress, seems like they have a plentiful amount of resources.

Pillager

Off the floor mob, we already know you can understand our language

Rezo

OK, don't need to be rude

Pillager

This is our magnificent fortress. It stood here for. (visibly counts fingers.) two months and in those two months we have accomplished great things we've taken out two villages and failed by taking out three.

Rezo

Doesn't exactly sound like a good-

Pillager

Silence do not mock our fortress with your petty words mob

Rezo

Rude

Pillager

It's supposed to be an insulin worm now you're coming with me and we're going to buy the use for you if you're able to make those golems, aren't you?

Rezo

Yeah, why?

Pillager

We're gonna have you make an army of those golems for us and we use those to destroy the villages and terraform them into our image

Rezo

OK, but if I don't

Pillager

We kill you and we find another one of your kind

Rezo

That's pretty racist

Pillager

I don't know what that word means so I'll ignore it but other than that we're also going to use your little cobblestone golems to build structures as we expand our conquest

Anyway, this is your room

Rezo

It's surprisingly spacious

The room contained a bed in the corner, a table workshop station on the opposite side of the room to the bed, a large window pointing over the fortress, a small bookshelf and a chest full of various resources

Pillager 2

I mean we're not evil

Rezo

Finally, choosing to speak up

Pillager 2

Yep, felt it was appropriate. Ignore my friend here Garrett.

Garrett

we're not supposed to reveal our names

You idiot in addition, not only have you talking to the rules you were also getting off with the prisoner

Pillager 2

Yeah, yeah whatever you want to know what we're gonna do with you

Rezo

Go on

Pillager 2

The high command points to have you make more golems for us you say some exposition I should tell you

(the second Pillager proceeded to take a small book from the bookshelf in my room)

Long ago, Pillager and villagers were in combat until the third faction arose, calling themselves, the mob empire, the effect of incredibly powerful mobs, most mostly zombies, skeletons, spiders, and other mobs surprisingly no Endermen. They operate under a 6 commander system they also have 1 boss calling himself the emperor

Rezo

Interesting can you continue-

Garrett

Oh, no more stop getting all buddy buddy. He's not your friend and will return to you tomorrow for your quotas till then. I hope you have a terrible night and you get haunted by phantoms

(the both of them proceed to walk out of the room as Garrett slams the door)

Rezo pov

I said looking around the room. I decided to check my chest. In that exact chest, I found various materials pumpkin seeds wheat

Stone just the most random things you'd find it like a junk chest

{just as an explanation to make a stone golem you need one stone at the bottom, two buttons on the side, and one slap for the head a lot of stone}

Not my problem for now I've decided that during the night, I would going to rob the most secure vault in this entire fortress once I find it

As I waited for the sun to set I realized.

Plz give me power stones plz
