Korg Blacktooth wakes up once again from a long sleep. As he gets up and stretches from his nap, he looks around and sees many people drinking buckets and buckets of water. Korg Blacktooth decides to walk towards the libary. As he nears the libary he notices many of his old friends are not around any more. Korg enters the building and slowly makes his way to the roof of the libary. He looks about the land seeing how much it has changed, seeing how it is still changeing before his own eyes. Korg watches gusts of hot air lift up dirt from the desert that has already been spread, the water holes that are drying up and the people who continualy fight because of this heat and disaster. Korg sits down on the edge of the libary roof and continues to watch the land change, shift and destroy the happyness the people of trollsbane once had before the land starting changeing into a desert.

Ghoun wanders through the desert sorrounding the town, looking for someone to sell him some water. Lizards need a lot of water... When arrivig at the library, he looks up to the sky where no clouds can be seen... only the hot sun, burning the land. Then he sees the silhouettes of someone... But he falls down, the heat is too much for him this day. His eyes closed, his heart beating slowly, lying on the hot sand, Ghoun is nearly dead.

Korg hears a little mone comeing from the underneith him. As he looks down he sees something that looks like a lizard. He realises it is a yet another poor lizardmen being taken down by this disarsterous heat. Korg looks around where he is sitting and picks up a bucket of water he brought with him. He yells,"Hello down there, here you might need this. so catch."After that korg lets the bucket go and watches it drop straight down.

Ghoun reaches the bucket with his fingers. Trying to pick it, he overturns it and the water floods the ground. Ghoun licks from the ground what he can get and gets up. Then he takes the bucket and drinks the rest of the water left in it.
"Thanks a lot, my Lord. Thy help be rewarded, Ushara bless You. Well, can I also do something for you?"
Ghoun straights up and walks to the entrance of the library. Staggering with care he reaches the ladder and appears behind Korg on the roof after a few minutes.

Korg stands up slowly and turns around to face the lizardman. As he smiles he says,"I dont need anything, just make sure you have enougth water with you". Korg points at a pile of water buckets filled with water, about 20 buckets worth and he says again, "over there is a pile of about 20 water buckets filled with water. If you want to take say about 5 buckets go ahead". Korg smiles again and sits back down on the edge of the libary looking out into the land that is becomeing more of a desert every day.

Ghoun bows.
"Thank you very much, my lord."
Ghoun takes the 5 buckets. Then he drinks half of one of them and sits down next to Korg.
"May I ask you what you are doing here? Everyone is thursty and hungry, there is nothing growing anymore, and you are just watching them... why?"
Ghoun drinks the rest of the first bucket.

Korg looks at the lizardman and says,"well there is nothing i can do if i was down there i would still be watching. so i decided to come up here where it is quiet and instead of just watching people have their problems i can watch the problems the land has to. Down there you cant see the land as you would up here."Korg then looks back out towards the land and the people watching them stagger about and search desperately for food as he waits for the lizardman to speak once again.

Ghoun watches the landslide. Far away he can see the desert, running through the land.
"Yes, it is really amazing to watch the lad from here. Well, I think I will stay here on the roof with you. It's much better than working."

Korg smiles and continues to look out into the land as he speaks, "work?, why would people want to work in this heat. Just to dig up what 20 rocks you will end up drinking 5 buckets or water. I just dont see why people would do that to themselves, And we cant forget the people fighting. Fighting is is worse then working if they are not drinking water they should beofre they get to weak and pass out."Korg reaches over and grabs himself a bucket of water, He throws half the bucket over his head and drinks the rest as he watches the land.
