Orcus Death Time, October 2020

Orcus Death Time was a series of deaths and unfortunate happenings involving Orcus_Maritimus from October to early November 2020.

The events started when Orcus_Maritimus died while attempting to work on a future wither skeleton farm. While clearing out blaze spawners in a nether fortress to be eventually used as a wither skeleton farm, Orcus_Maritimus was swarmed by wither skeletons. He was killed while attempting to get fireworks from his inventory onto his hotbar. He enlisted the help of Griffin2448 to recover his items. Nearly all of his items were recovered, except a sword that flew over the edge of the fortress into lava.

The next death occurred when Orcus_Maritimus accidentally placed and subsequently right-clicked a bed while working in the aforementioned nether fortress. He noted that he was trying to place a chest and open it, but placed the bed instead. The reason the bed was in his hotbar at all has yet to be explained. All items were recovered except for a silk touch pickaxe.

The third death in Orcus Death Time occurred again in the Nether after a wither skeleton spawned directly in front of Orcus_Maritimus. This death was especially demoralizing as his elytra wings were the only item to fall over the edge of the fortress and into lava. After this death, Orcus_Maritimus would take a day long break from the server.

The final unfortunate event for Orcus_Maritimus in the Orcus Death Time series involved trying to find a new pair of elytra wings in the End. This took an incredibly long time for Orcus_Maritimus, as he kept finding unmapped but already explored end cities which no longer contained elytra wings. Eventually, however, Orcus_Maritimus found a new pair of elytra wings. This marked the last event in the Orcus Death Time series of October-November 2020.
