Into the Desert

Her prospects for survival seemed poor, but she chearly couldn't stay where she was, so she started walking. Within five minutes she realised that wearing the armour that she had pilfered from the dragon's store was impractical. It was like being inside an oven. She removed it, leaving her wearing only two strips of cloth, originally intended as bandages, as a makeshift bikini. [41-1] Naturally she retained her sword.

Then she resumed walking, knowing that she had to find food and more especially water before long if she was to survive. At least the sun seemed to be going down.

Not long before sunset, she spotted an oasis in the distance. As she approached, she saw that four other people were already there. Getting closer, she could see that there were one man and three naked women! Could the man be a slaver? Well, she had no choice but to go into the oasis. Her need for water was desperate. Besides, she had a sword and was confident that she would be more than a match for any slaver. She could tell that they had seen her by now.

1. She realised that there was something awfully familiar about three of the four figures. They looked like Fred and two doppelgangers of herself!
