The desert is a dry span of hot sand.  The dunes rise and fall silently.  There is a large rock on which an iguana suns itself.  Cactus plants are scattered sparsely through the land.
Dead Valley, Desert

scorpion
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.
hello Say you aren't prone to stinging are you? i sting real bad! Well how about you don't sting me! If you dont threaten me, you will be fine. I had no intention of doing so I am just traveling to sell my goods. very well...but why pass the dead valley? It is necessary to cross for me to reach the next land I came from the east. there are safer and better routes I am not aware of them the mercenaries told me this was the best way to avoid bandits. it is safe but deadly Well either way seems to have its downfalls.
