This desert is absolutely bearing on you, as you were at your last sip of water, there was trotting... trotting of an ostritch? and it was getting closer, when in the back, you were kicked by a giant foot, digging slightly into your back... it was painful as you fall into the sand, as the animal walks in front of you, you then have the epiphany it was a Harpy.

Why is a human in the desert? i thought they would die.
