===================
"Reporting in, this is AZ-02 on duty, I was told to write excerpts in this novel. Currently there is a new project set in the near future tilted, 'Blizzard Busters'. The objective of this arena is fairly simple, mostly everyone is familiar with a game
call 'spleef', but if not it is rather simple. The objective of the challenge: Two or more players destroy the snow from below others. Some players will fall down certain levels, the last remaining to stay above the water wins.
Simple enough isn't it? You got that down?
This challenge will be easier with much help from my captain, B-01 and few other crewmates, but alas, I am alone. Hopefully by the time someone arrives, I can invite them to a friendly match. For now, I shall continue writing down my thoughts, 'for Shiverpeak's history!' I can hear B-01 say-
Dear Gods, I can hear them. They're crying out for some sort attention to anyone. Their eerily purple eyes stared into mine. Was it... human? No. It couldn't be... SB-04 mentions they're 'endermen' so maybe it *was* a human? Even still... those ear-wrenching screams and their
wide agape mouth staring at me. I was told in order to save myself from *those* 'endermen' I must surround myself in complete bodies of water. From personal experience, once they step foot onto water, it harms them. Strange, even a water droplet harms them easily... What even are they?
I'll ask SB-04 for assistance, more questions linger about those 'endermen'. Safe to say I have grown customed to their screams. Although I've met some, 'friendly' ones. Those endermen scatter dirt blocks in my residence, perhaps they want company? They seem to create this relationship with-
me. Perhaps the others share the same experience as me? Or maybe I am losing sleep over this lost clause. I shall put a pause on the project, 'Blizzard Busters'. For my own safety and health concerns. In the future I shall write an update."

-------------------
B-01, having partially completed her previous goal utilizing the mystical cage contraption, has taken to charting more maps for the library. In her travels she has found multiple shipwrecks long forgotten to time. Pirates must have frequented the region
around their icecaps. Not a very good idea to steer large ships into iceburgs...B-01 also marked locations of interest with Xs, as she had heard from another settlement that treasure was buried in those locations, but that would be an adventure for another day.
In the far North, deep in the ocean, lay the remains of an oceanic civilization. B-01 attempted to analyze it further, but was attacked by what appeared to be aquatic zombies capable of swimming. One in particular wielded a mighty trident, warding off any intruders like her.
While she was not able to explore the ocean ruins, she managed to come home with various looted goods from the settlement and lost ships.
While B-01 finished her exploration, AZ-02 was up next. Tasked with an important question from their captain.
"Capture a brown sheep." They dropped everything to ensure a secure success in this task. As AZ-02 prepared for the journey with the help of their horse Cream Cheese, the duo ran off to capture a brown sheep. The pair traveled across the unknown lands, discovering new areas
such as giant spruce trees with creatures like red foxes and black wolves. B-01 explained that new biome was called old growth spruce taiga, shortly AZ-02 written the cords of these various villages and biomes to come back to if needed. Perhaps their travel went safely and well? Well...
Upon the discovery on capturing a brown sheep, AZ-02 came across a tower of sorts. There trapped was an iron golem and surrounding it was in fact the ruthless wayward vandals. Unable to save the fellow golem, AZ-02 ran off shouting one day they will save them from the cage.
Further across new lands to scope out new paths returning home. AZ-02, determined to come home, stumbled across a new breed of wolf to their collection. This being the woods wolf, quite a precious pup. The duo has now doubled when arriving home. This mission was a success, a brown-
sheep was acquired into their settlement. Now with this strong luck of exploration, AZ-02 decided to adventure out more in hopes to bring new creatures and even loot from this spontaneous trip. Traveling across again with the help of Cream Cheese, the two head off again, B-01
wishing the two a very safe travel. AZ-02 signaling their horn in response, ensuring the two will be safe. Far and wide the two decided to head east, as they were familiar that way. Shortly AZ-02 came across more villages as they wrote down the exact cords, maybe one of these days they will
check it out. What felt like days on the voyage, the two grown hopeless. No sign of new biomes, but old growth spruce taiga. The two reach a vast ocean, again with much courage, AZ-02 snagged a paddle and hop onto a boat. Thankfully carrying a lead on hand, they managed to drag out-
Cream Cheese across the ocean. The two mindlessly streaming across the water as Cream Cheese neighed for oncoming aquatic zombies, thankfully not wielding any weapons in these ruined buildings underwater. With much assistance from Cream Cheese, AZ-02 fended off, nearly making out of-
there. There they discovered a destroyed ship in the water, AZ-02 heard tales from their captain, B-01 that these ships often store treasure so with that they rushed in. Upon searching around, treasure was found! The happy duo decided to mark it down as looted, to not
let other travelers waste their time for an empty chest. Shortly after the looting, land was now found. Finally ending the sea voyage, a new biome was found! The savanna filled with acacia trees and even new creatures such as armadillos. AZ-02, noting down this new biome and bringing-
armadillos, it was time to end the aventure. With much stress and pressure to bring back the armadillos to safety, AZ-02 had to take a different track for all the animals, especially being forced to row back on the ocean. With a heavy sigh, they pushed through...

With newfound courage from her fellow explorer AZ-02, B-01 felt it was time to tackle the dreaded Nether dimension once more, in hopes of finding the fabled fortress with the potion ingredients she needed for the Potion of Weaving. Getting to-
the fortress was a task in itself, as large as they can be, they are said to be tricky to find in the vast sweltering lands. Still, B-01 did not give until finally, after what felt like ages, she found it! The dark, rugged structure that lay before her, was the fortress! Instantly, she called for her-
friend AZ-02 to aid in plundering the fortress for all its secrets. Most importantly, they were on the hunt for the abundant fungus that grew within its walls dubbed "Nether Warts." They did not grow as tall as the other fungi found in the dimension, but was certainly powerful.
Together, the explorers tore through the ever expansive halls, fighting withered, blackened skeletons that wielded swords, and magical fire beings the natives called "Blazes." These blazes spat fire much like the ghast, but more rapidly, so the two had to be careful.
These blazes also had a key ingredient needed for potion brewing, as their powdery substance left behind would power the brewing stand. Through perseverance and willpower, the explorers made it out of the fortress, nether wart in hand, and safely back home!
With the Potion of Weaving finally in their grasp, B-01 made the final upgrades to the cage contraption, boosting its power and productivity for the future.
At long last GN-05, reappeared from a long restful break. As GN-05 met AZ-02 for a session in the mines,
the two stumbled across...an ancient relic of a structure. A chamber it would seem, filled with monsters and traps. It was unlike anything they had ever seen before! The walls built from various constructs of copper and tuff, multiple floors within its oxidized halls.
This was an opportunity for the adventurers to test their skills. Although AZ-02 was hesitant to enter, GN-05 dove right into the action, ill-prepared for the true nature of this "trial" they would be facing. The chambers scattered about contained cages similar to those found
on the surface, but strangely, would spit out a variety of treasure upon the defeat of the monsters it created. Multiple of these cages could be found in this place, making for a rewarding venture for those who braved the trials. However, as lucky as the two were at the
start, they soon realized they were a bit in over their heads and called for backup. B-01 heeded their call and rushed in a flash to help her fellow adventurers. Together, the trio slaughtered every last monster they saw within the dungeon. Among the many enemies, they noted:
"Bogged"
A strange variant of a skeleton, sodden and covered with moss and fungi.
"The Husk"
A zombie that seems to have been left in sand for centuries, it is dry as bone.
More common surface monsters also appear.
Finally, the trio had
reached the Atrium
of the chamber...
⪼⪼⪼⪻⪻⪻
The air was tense, the explorers were very exhausted and battered. Standing, or rather...swirling before them, was a menacing, swift moving wind elemental, similar in appearance to a blaze, but a cold blue.
The adventurers named this menace:
"The Breeze"
This creature, being
found only in these
strange chambers, is
a wind elemental,
hurling charged wind
bursts and using its
quick movements to
hop large distances
across platforms.
The Breeze was a true force to be reckoned with, tossing the trio around with its powerful wind bursts and relying on other monsters to be distractions for them. After a long fought battle, AZ-02 dealt the final blow, felling the mighty Breeze and ending the fighting. They were victorious!
The menace, after being slain, had left behind capsules of its blustery power, and a rod much like blazes do. After their triumph, the trio of adventurers head back home with their spirits fueled with hope and triumph!

-------------------
GN-05, having returned for a bit, decided to finally build themself a proper base of operations. Living inside a small hole was not going to cut it any longer! Within a few hours after returning from the trial chambers, GN-05 had built up a
cozy abode, complete with some of the copper building blocks found within the chambers. Now with a comfortable home, GN-05 could continue adventuring.
In tandem, AZ-02 had constructed a windmill to house their ever growing potato stock.
As the night approached, it was time for AZ-02 to hit the hay. AZ-02 feeling refreshed to start their day by doing some of the usual, exploring around the new lands far from home. With their new trusty stead, Silo, a black horse adorned in blue leather armor, the two headed off.
The two headed North, in hopes of finally discovering a brand new area. Somewhere "tropical" even, to find a particular type of wood which was dubbed "jungle" wood. Through high and low, lands covered in snow and even the powered snow infamous to sink creatures to give them the chills,
and finally approaching meadows, there appeared to be something across the water. How odd, those green poles in the ground appear to be something like...
Bamboo! Finally the search for jungles came to a halt. As AZ-02 tied Silo to a nearby safe area, it-
was time to finally gather up the materials. First came writing down the coordinates for their other companions if they wish to further their research in this new land. As AZ-02 finished up, now was the fun part, gathering up bamboo and jungle saplings to bring back home!
AZ-02 headed home, telling their friends about the adventure of finally getting bamboo. For GN-05 receiving these bamboos, they built a tiny cat tree for their cats. As for B-01, she kept them stored in her chest, someday she'll figure out what to make out of it. For AZ-02, it was some
simple planting around the settlement. B-01 and GN-05 decided to head to the mines, while AZ-02 stayed above grounds. B-01 found a skulk path and, with swift movement, disabled the two shriekers. GN-05 stumbled across tuff, but most importantly diamonds! How lucky!
