Battle of the Southeast Desert

The Battle of the Southeast Desert was a lengthy battle waged by ramennnoodle, icyblue87, zirin, and Seth against the Wither.

Prelude
Following the Journey To The Netherlands, zirin and ramen each acquired 2 wither skeleton skulls and 1 wither skeleton skulls respectively. They decided to fight the Wither together, and called the players currently online to help defeat the boss monster.

The Preparation
Originally, ramen, Seth, zirin, and denightwalker were going to fight the wither. Icy decided at the last second to join in, while denight sat the event out as he was AFK. The group moved to the Southeast Desert and constructed a minor Wither-proof hut that utilized waterlogged stairs to make it blastproof. After spawning several chickens as sacrifices for Wither Roses, the summoning of the Wither drew near.

The group tried to summon the Wither, though the height of the room prevented this attempt from succeeding. Icy then proposed to spawn the wither, then seal the roof with stairs quickly. Unfortunately, during this attempt, he slipped off the roof, failing to patch a very crucial hole in the roof, allowing the Wither to escape.

The Battle
The Wither escaped and attacked them, raining skulls from its heads upon ramen. While ramen drew its attention, the other three members notched their bows and fired upon the three-headed monster. The battle was fierce, taking several minutes to complete. Icy and ramen would cut down the Wither in melee combat as his invulnerability to bows kicked in.

The duo claimed the Wither Head and Nether Star, though the Nether Star was given to zirin by ramen as she had collected the most wither skeleton skulls.

Participants

 * zirqn (de facto leader)
 * icyblue87
 * ramennnoodle
 * Sethfromthewiki

Aftermath
Icy vowed to patch the roof properly, and allow for a future cheesed Wither fight. He and ramen would fix the hut after each member took photos and distributed the 12 roses equally among the fighters.

Meanwhile, Denight, who has been AFK in his skeleton farm throughout the entire battle, came back to existence several minutes after the fight was over. He revealed that he unintentionally left himself AFK at the farm and passed out through the night. As a result, he missed out the big event, much to his disappointment. Nonetheless, the other players assured him that more skulls will be collected in order to kill more withers in the future.
