An impossible relief from the sweltering heat, the Oasis sounds like the fevered dream of a dying traveler.  A cool, refreshing spring of water surrounded by palm trees is tucked away from prying eyes, with a single tent set up from a traveler long past.  A lost traveler may find themselves there in their time of need, their thirst slaked by the crisp and impossibly cool water.
Oasis, Desert
a lost traveler
a traveler long past
I am a traveler from a distant land. I carry large amounts of food with me. I am able to kill bandits with one move.
I've traveled many a country, but I've never been as hot and thirsty as I am now! Thank goodness I came upon this oasis! I couldn't agree more. This is delicious and quenches my thirst. Tell me, have you seen many bandits, traveler? No, no bandits. I did see a scorpion and some cactus. But now, fortunately, my eyes look upon brighter things! I've not much to give you for some advice, but please, take this and tell me: Where should I avoid? Avoid? Avoid everything beyond here. It's all desert and you will be thirsty and hungry! Desert you say? Why did I ever leave Tulanamore, my little village. Have you been to my small village? No, I have never ventured there. Is it nice? Nice? My word, it puts the moon and stars to shame. Tis beauty unparalleled. But I thought the grass is always greener, and now I'm in this dump. Oh, but this isn't a dump! As long as we stay at this oasis, we are fine! We have cool water, food. We are safe! But what fun is that? I didn't become a traveler to stay in one spot, is that what you've become? Is that what I will become? I hope you don't mind me taking a morsel of cheese. Yes, I know. I want to travel, too... but this oasis is sweet! You may have some of my cheese, but I'll be needing this. Being lost has made me more aggressive, I'll say that.
