The Oasis

The Black Void - Episode 1874

I briefly consider bypassing the oasis, but even If I make it to the river by morning, there's no guarantee that a settlement will be anywhere near there. Maybe these people will be able to help or at least point me in the right direction. It's risky, but not as risky as doing nothing.

I approach the oasis cautiously, wondering what type of reception I will receive there. There are 4 wagons and a couple of tents set up. The mules are asleep near the water. There is a dying fire near the two tents, and a single person sitting beside it, (probably a night lookout) huddled in blankets. The others, I assume, are in the tents.

Hesitating a few moments longer, I finally build up my nerve and enter the encampment, in view of the guard.

  1. They are friendly - The guard wakes the others, who approach me with curiosity, and are willing to trade or offer help
  2. They are hostile - The guard wakes the others, who emerge with swords and guns
  3. The guard has fallen asleep. I attempt to wake him (carefully)
  4. The guard has fallen asleep. I quietly stop at the water to rest and refill my canteen, then depart before they awaken and continue my journey west
  5. Same as 4, only I also decide to check the wagons and see if there are any supplies I can "borrow"
