Desert

Starts from level 2. Up to level 9. Not on easy difficulty.

NPCs: Pitstop

One glance at the shimmering dunes has you feverishly noting water and shade for future reference.

Travel to the village and help if you can. Remember that scorpions fear water.

How it starts

Cries for help on the desert wind. A village in the desert needs you. Follow the red compass across the sand and talk to the villagers. There are three versions of this quest.

The mill

Our mill needs a new cog!

A cog salesman lives across the desert. Buy a cog from him with coins or trade for it and bring it back. Caves are a good place to find coins. If you are undead he will give you one just to make you go away.

The reservoir

The reservoir dried up. We have nothing to drink.

The villagers give you a shovel. Find water and dig a trench back to the village. Water floods in when you dig beside it. The red and pink compasses show the way.

The red scorpion

The red scorpion plagues us!

Slay the red scorpion or get it away from the village. Scorpions fear water so use it. The scorpion does not have to die by your hand for the village to be saved.

Heat

The desert damages anyone who stays in it for 3 turns. Note the water and shade. Drop your armor.

Reward

The village is saved!
