All Across the Sands
You trudge across the empty sands surrounding the oasis, covering your face against the stinging sand-laden wind... and stop. It's almost as though you can hear something calling...
Over the next dune, you discover the sandblasted remains of an old village, the huts worn down to their foundations. The streets are cold and lonely, and when you call "Is anybody home?" you get no response. Then, in the center of the ruins, you find it -- a rose, made of stone. The bloom is about the size of your fist, and cunningly carved -- or, possibly, the result of some very surprising natural erosion.
You carefully chip the base of the rose away from the rocky ground, and take it with you.
 | You acquire an item: stone rose |
Occurs at An Oasis (a one-time adventure).
