Loc: Oasis
An untended oasis of crisp, clear water, surrounded by a few palms and shrubs. D6+depth rations of various fruits can be gathered, mostly dates, but also apricots, figs, olives, and peaches.
If you drink the water, roll a d10 for its effect (some of these effects can also be felt by bathing):
- Just water: no effect.
- Gelatinous: no effect, but a polarizing texture.
- Full of tiny shrimp: no effect, but you can feel them crawling.
- Refreshing: heal d6 points of attribute damage [or heal hit points in a system not based on Into the Odd].
- Tainted: d4 damage.
- Corrosive: d12 damage.
- Time warps around you: day becomes night and night becomes day.
- You can sense the emotions of others who have drunk from the oasis. make a reaction roll and a direction roll; the next encounter in that direction has that reaction unless you go out of your way to avoid it. Repeat this process for d6 turns.
- You become like a mirage: for d6 turns, you can blink in and out of corporeality at will. You can move but can neither attack nor be attacked. You can perceive but are not yourself perceived, except by true sight.
- The oasis is a mirage: the water dries up, the vegetation withers, and the fruit vanishes.
