The field entrance leads to a man made path in the desert leading to the next village. It is hot and barren. There is barely any form of plants or animals besides a few cactus. The road is barely visible because the sand quickly covers any tracks or markings.

I am a deadly scorpion hiding under the rocks. I am patient and will wait for hours for my food. I am alone and like it that way.
Leave me alone snake, I wish to hunt alone! hsss, hsss....there is nothing here to hunt you fool, nothing but barren land and cactus. There is a traveler nearby - when he goes to sleep I shall crawl into his boot and wait for him to awake - then I shall strike! As I sssaid you are a fool...why would you wait for him to awaken? I shall ssstrike once he is asssleep. The thrill of the hunt? Humans aren't much thrill they are foolish and stupid their religious beliefs make them think I am evil just for being a sssnake. Well, you did call me a fool when we met.  Maybe they have a point? Oh, I'm not evil like that, that is just silly human God talk. I am evil because I love to feast on thier chickens. I wish this foolish traveller had one with him. We are all going to starve in this sssandy barren land. True . . . how about a deal?  We kill the human, and we split him.  You take one half, and me the other.  You can even decide which half you want, top or bottom. Oh! I kind of like that idea, humans aren't too tasty, but when you are starving, anything tastes good. I'm partial to the brains myself, the skull keeps plenty of moisture in the desert. hmm, I was thinking the eyes would be nice and juicy, but then the liver is in the bottom half, right?
