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.

I am the fox of the brook in the forest. I live near the castle in the shrubs. I steal from wanderers.
There is not much to find out here, no wanders to give me things! What was I thinking? What are you mumbling about fox? I'm looking for things to gather. Shiny objects.... stuff like that I have shiny things, but you will have to earn them. What do you need? A scout. What is it you wish for me to scout for? We are wary of bandits, a warning of coming danger would be nice and could be well compensated. I can do that! I can sneak around very well without being detected. Which direction sir? Straight ahead!  Just keep an eye out for us.  Prove your loyalty and I will give you an advance on your pay. Perfect! I'm on my way! I will stay ahead of you for one mile and look in all directions. Before you go, fox.
