there is palm trees and fresh coconuts, a small oasis in the middle of a cacti ridden death valley. It is hot, so hot that your skin could boil. The clear blue water is cool and refreshing, lively.

I'm a lizard. I live in the forest. You can usually find me near the creek, because that's where the bugs are. My tongue is long, and I eat insects all day. My only fear is of larger predators like falcons and human children.
hiss how are you today Hello small lizards. I have traveled far and am hungry and thirsty. I have a quest to complete and could do with your assistance... What quest is this you speak of I recently met with the High Priest of a distant land. He needs help with a human sacrifice that he must make before the next full moon. I am going to poison this coconut. When the next traveler comes by, I need you to lure them to eat the coconut. I will hide behind the palm trees.  I don't know if I could do such a horrible thing What a noble little creature you are. You would be rewarded handsomely for your assistance... I guess I shall help you I get tired of these little buggers pulling my tail off Then it is settled. When I notify the High Priest that you have helped, he may be able to grant you a human sacrifice of your own, meaning you will be able to host the body and live as a human! sweet I shall have my revenge I am going to bathe in these crystal clear waters quickly before anyone comes. I've been traveling for days and I'm so hot. I shall stand guard and let you know if anybody comes I think I see someone approaching in the distance. The coconut is ready with the poison. I'm going to hide behind a palm so the traveler doesn't see me. Make sure they consume the whole thing.
