The Oasis

Yulia downs a mana potion and then fixes her equipment. She also uses a cure potion and a health potion letting out a relieved sigh as she instantly feels better, at least physically. The suit prevents her from getting hotter, but it doesn't lower her current temperature so she's still feeling uncomfortably hot and will need somewhere out of the sun to cool down. She also takes a quick drink to assuage her thirst before heading to the Oasis.

The Oasis is large and thankfully shaded by a number of fruit bearing trees. The water is sparkling and Yulia quickly refills the used water from the oasis. Around the Oasis there are a number of other people, four in fact. Two of them are lounging by the water, seemingly just relaxing, one is standing nearby on guard and the last is picking fruits from the trees. All four are women, the two lounging by the water are scorpions. They have human female bodies, but a stinger tail extends from behind them and each of them have one human like arm and the other a large bulky claw, their heads are encased in chitinous armor mimicking a full plate helm, leaving only their lips and chins visible. They are both wearing simple one piece white leotards to cover their fairly curvaceous bodies, their legs from the knee down also covered in the chitinous armor. The one gathering the fruit is similarly an anthro bug, in this case a tarantula. Her body covered in rich brown fur, with three sets of arms that end in hands with an attached hook like claw, she easily climbs the trees and grabs multiple fruits at once, tossing them into a basket waiting below. eight eyes, two large ones and multiple smaller ones, watch Yulia curiously as she works. She's much less well endowed than the two scorpion women with a more petite body covered only by a simple white bra and loincloth.

Lastly the wasp woman is standing on guard, she's naked and has a heavy looking collar around her neck. She has two sets of arms, two of which are grasping a nasty looking spear. She has two sets of fine looking wings currently limp behind her and a long abdomen attached at the base of her spine with a cruel looking stinger attached, otherwise she's completely human looking with normal human legs and arms, other than the amount of them. Her eyes are compound eyes, but otherwise if not for the wings, amount of arms and the wasp stinger and abdomen attached to her she'd seem perfectly human even having a head of short chin length brown hair.

The two scorpion women have darkly tanned skin while the wasp woman has dark skin. She approaches Yulia, each step making her exposed, heavy breasts bounce slightly.

"What is your purpose here, human?" she asks, her voice light and airy with only a gentle buzz to it, but her demeanor is immediately threatening. As she engages Yulia the two scorpion women seem to notice Yulia for the first time and begin to watch earnestly, an amused look on their faces. The tarantula woman continues her work still, but as before continues to watch Yulia curiously as she does so.

"I'm just looking for somewhere to rest and recover," Yulia says, putting her hands up placatingly.

"And you seek to use our Oasis?" one of the scorpion women asks, her voice haughty.

"You don't think we'll let you without some form of payment do you?" the other asks, her voice similarly proud and arrogant sounding.

"Mistresses... This traveller seems injured, perhaps we could-" the tarantula starts to speak, but is cut off.

"We didn't ask your opinion, get back to work," the first scorpion responds angrily.

"What kind of payment would you like?" Yulia asks warily already deciding she doesn't like these two scorpion women.

"Hmm... That outfit looks cute... We'll take that," the first says seemingly asking for Yulia to give up her suit.

"Ooh I'd like to lay my eggs in her, I've been meaning to get a host," the second suggests.

"You should have just used one of the slaves already," the first chastises her.

"I know, but I prefer laying my eggs in someone more lively. Those snake girls are real fun for example," the second says.

"So... Either give you my clothes or let you... Lay eggs in me?" Yulia asks horrified at these options.

"Oh no, you either give us your clothes and let my friend here put her eggs in you or you get the fuck out of our Oasis," the first clarifies.

Yulia sighs, "With the suit repaired, I could definitely make it back to camp, but it would be an arduous journey and we still don't know if that actually is the camp. I really don't want to accept these demands though, I need this suit and I definitely don't want to go through this floor with a bunch of scorpion eggs in me," Yulia mutters, "only the wasp looks like a fighter though..." she adds.
