Summary
Highlights
Dolphin sets out to break Dumb's losing streak by making him the first player to obtain all 12 'augments' on the server. Their initial goal is the 'invisibility' augment. They form a team and begin gathering resources, starting with an ancient city find that yields valuable items, though not the specific silence trims needed for invisibility.
With all 12 augments now in his possession, Dolphin meets with Dumb. He ceremoniously transfers all the augments to Dumb, fulfilling his promise to grant his friend unlimited power and ending Dumb's long-standing curse as the server's biggest loser.
Dolphin executes a bold plan to recruit Midnight, a strong player from Team Toes, by appealing to his desire for a challenge. Midnight, holding two augments himself, agrees to join, shifting the balance of power. They then strategically acquire the 'frost' augment from Arkin, further strengthening their team's combat capabilities.
In the ensuing battle, Dolphin's team manages to acquire feather and haste, as well as several other augments, leaving only the augmented heart, held by Sheru. Dolphin meticulously plans to ambush Sheru at his base, using his fire augment to drain water and cause fall damage. The plan is successful, and Dolphin obtains the final augment.
While searching for invisibility components in the Nether, the team realizes they have most of the resources for the 'fire' augment. They decide to craft this first, facing challenges in bastions and dealing with hostile mobs. Successfully crafting the fire effect grants abilities like setting players on fire and launching enemies, but they temporarily forget their main goal of invisibility.
Despite gaining the heart augment, their base is attacked by Team Toes, a powerful team with multiple augmented effects. Dolphin and Dumb suffer significant losses, highlighting Team Toes' dominance and their leader, Only a Squid, who is a recurrent tormentor of Dumb. Dolphin regroups, crafts another fire effect, and his teammates unexpectedly acquire all invisibility effects, solidifying their 'Team Shadow' identity.
Dumb develops a strong hatred for Sheru from Team Toes, who possesses two augments. In a chaotic battle at their base, Dolphin focuses on Sheru and manages to defeat him, acquiring the 'emerald' augment. This allows them to quickly accumulate wealth, making Dumb the richest player on the server.
Dolphin and Arch Damage craft the 'feather' augment, which enhances combat during falls. They then engage in a 2v2 against Sheru and Sam. Arch falls, and Dolphin struggles against Only a Squid, who was disguised as Sheru. They realize Team Toes' combined augments make them nearly unbeatable, leading to a period of diminished play from Dumb.
During a server-wide manhunt initiated by Sheru, Dolphin's team locates Team Toes' sky base. In a tense aerial battle, they kill Only a Squid, gaining the 'thunder' augment. Dolphin then challenges Midnight for the augmented invis, winning it in a mini-game, further consolidating key augments.
EXPchain, another Team Toes member with feather and haste, proves extremely difficult to engage. Dolphin and Dumb devise a treacherous plan: they propose a trade for EXPchain's feather augment and intend to use the ocean effect to steal both his augments when he drops them. The plan goes into action, leading to a chaotic multi-team battle.
A rival team, 'Storms,' crafts the invisibility augment, forcing Dolphin and Dumb to abandon their pursuit. They then aim for the 'emerald' augment but lose it to another team in a botched attempt to contest the ritual. After some struggles and losing gear, they discover a brewing exploit to easily craft healing potions, which are crucial for the 'heart' augment. They successfully craft the heart augment, granting extra health.
