Scarabia Dorm - Eastern Oasis
| I've seen this scenery in my dreams. | A parade of elephants and camels with a prince riding one! |
|
Hey, [MC], what're you starin' off into space for? Did the heat get to you? |
|
Everyone, halt! |
|
Phew. We made it at last! |
|
We will take a fifteen-minute break. Then we march back to the dorm. |
|
Finally, some water... Wait. What kinda bizarro oasis is this?! It's empty! |
|
Water? You say you want water? |
|
Uh, duh? My throat's dry as a bone. |
|
Then water you shall have...and I'll make it cool and refreshing for you!
Respite in the scalding sands, a neverending party. Dance! Sing!
Oasis Maker! |
|
Oooh! Sweet, merciful rain! |
Scarabia Student A |
I was feeling like a withered husk for a minute there, but this water's refreshing me from the inside out! |
Scarabia Student B |
Ahhh... I needed that. |
|
You really like it? If water's all you want, then I'll produce enough to fill this whole oasis.
That's my signature spell, Oasis Maker.
It allows me to expend a little bit of magic power to produce large volumes of the finest water. |
|
Y'know... Making a buncha water seems really low-key for a signature spell.
There are plenty of other spells that let you conjure water... |
|
I beg to differ.
The point of Oasis Maker is its efficiency. It produces a lot using a very small amount of magic.
Back before the advent of running water, one would have had to draw their own water and boil it to sterilize it.
A spell like mine would have been a tremendous boon back then.
But I guess you're right. Now that running water is a widespread service, it's not the most useful of spells.
Aha ha!
But hey! I'm still confident that the water I conjure is the finest, most delicious water in all the land. |
|
Now that you mention it, it's basically the perfect temperature. Not too cold to drink, but not lukewarm, either.
And it goes down all nice 'n smooth, like fresh spring water. |
|
Since when are monsters water affection? |
|
Hey, I resent that! I've got a discerning palate for everything! |
|
I figured! I was right to hope you would appreciate the difference.
Here, have a cracker as a treat. |
|
Erk! I'm hungry, sure, but this ain't the best time for dry and crumbly foods! |
| He's acting differently than he was before we set out. | Is he back to his sunny disposition from before? |
|
Now that ya mention it, it's like those were two different guys. |
|
Hm? Did you say something, [MC]? |
|
Kalim, our fifteen minutes are just about up. Let's assemble the students and get back to the dorm. |
|
Already? A little more time to catch our breath wouldn't hurt them any. |
|
The sun will rise higher if we take too long. The hotter it gets, the worse our trip back will be. |
|
You've got a point. Okay, guys! Let's get back to the dorm and have breakfast! Back to marching! |
