Hermitcraft Inktober: Writer's Addition

23★A Game Of Fate

The hermits were buzzing with excitement as they gathered for a unique event that would test their skills, wit, and perhaps even their destinies. This was not just any ordinary gathering; it was the day of the Great Game of Fate.

The idea had been proposed by Grian, who loved to stir up fun and mischief among the hermits. He had crafted a giant wheel, adorned with colourful segments, each representing a different challenge or fate. The wheel promised rewards and consequences that would ripple through their community for days to come. As the hermits arrived, they eyed the wheel with a mix of anticipation and trepidation.

"Welcome, everyone!" Grian announced, his enthusiasm infectious. "Today, we will spin the wheel and face whatever fate has in store for us! Each of you will take turns, and the challenges will range from building contests to survival tasks. But beware! Some segments hold penalties that could affect your resources or your builds!"

The hermits cheered, their spirits high. Among them were the likes of Mumbo Jumbo, known for his redstone prowess; Hermitcraft’s resident prankster, Scar; and the ever-competitive Iskall. Each hermit was eager to see what fate would bring them.

The first to spin was Mumbo, who approached the wheel with a mix of confidence and caution. With a hearty push, the wheel began to spin, the vibrant colors blurring together until it finally slowed, landing on “Build a Redstone Contraption in 5 Minutes.” The crowd erupted in applause. Mumbo grinned, ready to showcase his skills.

As the timer started, he dashed to gather materials, his mind racing with ideas. He crafted a complex contraption that would launch a firework into the sky.

The crowd watched in awe as he completed the task just in time, and with a flick of a lever, the firework shot into the air, bursting into a spectacular display of colours. Cheers erupted, and Mumbo basked in the glory of his success.

Next up was Scar, who spun the wheel with dramatic flair. It landed on “Survive a Night in the Nether.” The hermits gasped, knowing the Nether was a treacherous place filled with dangers. Scar, never one to back down from a challenge, donned his armor and set off with a few supplies. The others gathered around the portal, eager to see how he would fare.

As Scar entered the Nether, the atmosphere shifted. The fiery landscape was alive with the sounds of ghasts and piglins. He navigated through the terrain, using his charm to negotiate with the piglins for supplies. His antics drew laughter from the crowd watching through the portal, but as night fell, the true challenge began. Scar found himself cornered by a group of ghasts, his heart racing. With quick thinking and a bit of luck, he managed to evade them and return to the portal, breathless but victorious.

The spins continued, with each hermit facing their own unique challenge. When it was Iskall’s turn, he spun the wheel and landed on “Create a Prank on Another Hermit.” A mischievous grin spread across his face as he plotted his prank. He decided to fill Grian’s base with chickens, knowing how much Grian loved (or hated) them.

As Iskall executed his prank, the other hermits watched, chuckling at Grian’s inevitable reaction.

As the day progressed, the challenges grew more intense, with each hermit facing their fears and pushing their limits. The final spin of the day was reserved for Grian himself, who had orchestrated the entire event.

With a dramatic spin, the wheel slowed and landed on “Ultimate Challenge: Battle the Ender Dragon.” Gasps filled the air; this was no small feat.

Grian rallied the hermits, and together they prepared for the battle. They gathered supplies, potions, and armor, ready to face the formidable dragon.

As they entered the End, the atmosphere was electric with excitement and tension. The dragon swooped down, and chaos ensued as the hermits worked together, each showcasing their unique skills. Mumbo crafted a redstone trap, Scar distracted the dragon, and Iskall launched arrows with precision.

After an intense battle filled with teamwork and strategy, the dragon was defeated, and the hermits erupted in cheers. They had faced their fates together, each challenge strengthening their bonds and creating unforgettable memories.

As the sun set over Hermitcraft, the hermits gathered around a bonfire, sharing stories and laughter. The Great Game of Fate had not only tested their skills but had also reminded them of the joy of friendship and collaboration. They realized that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would always face them together, united as a community.
