Meet Me at the Watering Hole

From the journal of Captain Chen Xiaotang: "The sun is hot and the air is as dry as the sand. Our scouts have discovered an oasis where water seems to spring from nowhere. I am assembling the troops to secure the site before our enemies can keep us from this precious fluid. The cursed undead of Egypt never tire, never thirst, and can fight until the world ends. I, however, need a drink."
