"You are fighting the sandtrap. It sits half buried at the bottom of its huge conical pit, only its lean human anatomy on show, leering at you from beneath its shoulder length black hair with its six equally sable eyes. You cannot say whether its long, soft face with its pointed chin is very pretty or very handsome - every time the creature’s face moves, its gender seems to shift. Its lithe, brown flat-chested body supports four arms, long fingers playing with the rivulets of powder sand surrounding it. Beneath its belly you occasionally catch glimpses of its insect half: a massive sand-coloured abdomen which anchors it to the desert, with who knows what kind of anatomy."

~The sandtrap smiles at you winningly as it thrusts its hands into the sifting granules. The sand beneath you suddenly seems to lose even more of its density; you’re sinking up to your thighs! Acting with alacrity, you manage to haul yourself free of the area affected by the sandtrap’s spell, and set yourself anew. (pulled further into the Sandtrap's pit)

~The sandtrap puckers its lips. For one crazed moment you think it’s going to blow you a kiss... but instead it spits clear fluid at you! You desperately try to avoid it, even as your lower half is mired in sand. Despite ducking away from the jet of fluid as best you can, you cannot avoid some of the stuff splashing upon your arms and face. The substance feels oddly warm and oily, and though you quickly try to wipe it off it sticks resolutely to your skin and the smell hits your nose. Your heart begins to beat faster as warmth radiates out from it; you feel languid, light-headed and sensual, eager to be touched and led by the hand to a sandy bed... Shaking your head, you try to stifle what the foreign pheromones are making you feel. (average is 12-13 lust)

Encounters

Sandtraps are random encounters found in the Desert. There are two forms of encountering this enemy.

The first one has you walking through the desert sands, we suddenly your foot sinks into the sand, quickly followed by the lower half of your body. From here there are two variations.

• You aren't fast enough to escape the trap before the sandtrap can finish their spell, and you are forced to fight. The battle has you start at the edge of the pit.

• If your speed is high enough (Speed to escape ratio unknown) there is a chance that you will manage to pull yourself out of the pit fast enough. If that happens The sandtrap will comment on how You’ve got quick feet, little ant! and tempt you into fighting it, which requires you to step into the pit. You are given the option to Fight which starts the fight with you standing on the edge of the pit, or Leave in which case you are sent back to camp, and avoid the fight.

The second one has you find a woman sinking into quicksand, yelling out for help. From here you have two options: Help or Watch

• Help: If you choose to help the damsel in distress (cough, cough), the woman pulls you into the pit, and reveals herself to actually be a HE!!! ... Oh, and also a sandtrap. ... And you're forced to fight it. You start the battle in the lowest level of the pit, with The leering sandtrap - almost on top of you!.

• Watch: Choosing to just watch, causes he to sink to the bottom of the sand. ... Uhhh... oops. ... Oh wait, she popped back out, and it turns out she's actually a sandtrap. It taunts you and you are given the options to Leave" or to "Fight", the ladder of which starts the battle with you standing on the edge of the pit.

Sandtrap's Pit

There a four different levels of elevation in the Sadntraps, however note that using Attack at ANY elevation causes you to sink to the bottom (As far as I know these levels don't seem to affect the Player, but only the sandtrap's accuracy, with the sandtrap's accuracy diminishing the higher the level) (The order presented is from highest to lowest)

1. You are right at the edge of its pit. The highest point in the sandtrap's pit. From here you can attempt to escape however it is rather difficult, and if you tease skill is high enough, it might just be better to attempt to seduce the creature. If you don't have a high tease you can still use a distance special attack like using the Bow or magic like WhiteFire. Climb at this point is rather usless. This is the safest point in the pit & you should try to maintain this height as much as possible.
2. The sand sinking beneath your feet has carried you almost halfway into the creature’s pit. Well, not much to say. Like the former level you could try attacking from a distance or teasing. However unlike before you can't escape by selecting Run, and Climb can actually do something, which is getting you to a point where you can escape.
3. The dunes tower above you and the hissing of sand fills your ears. The leering sandtrap is almost on top of you! From this point if you sink any deeper, you automatically loose and are anally impregnated with eggs. Your best bet is to climb, unless you believe that you can bet it with one attack.
4. Whether you attacked, didn't remember to climb, or whatever, you've found yourself here. Falling here instantly ends the battle with you as the looser, & causes you to get rapped, & anally impregnated with eggs.
