Let's Play: A Doomed Pilgrim in the Ruins of the Future

I recently bought The Sundered Land, a set of 5 nano-games by Vincent Baker. One of them is A Doomed Pilgrim in the Ruins of the Future. It's designed to be played online in a forum or other similar setting - like a blog post. So here goes! Please leave discussion of the game to a future post I will create - this post's comments are just for playing the game.

I'm a warrior seeking peace and an end to bloodshed. I'm on a pilgrimage to the Temple to No Gods in the distant City of Gulls. My pilgrimage has brought me to the Desert of Spires, inhabited by the dying war machines of two long-ago armies. My goal is to pass safely through and continue my pilgrimage.

You, my friends online, play the world. Your goal is to see me to my doom, instead of safely on my way. You're allowed only to directly answer my direct questions, though, so you might not be able to do it.

The rules:

1. Only answer my questions
2. If you don't already know the answer, make something up
3. Keep your answers short
4. If your answer's disruptive, I'm allowed to delete it
5. Otherwise, I have to go with the first answer somebody gives.

I have eyes that can pierce through veils and a crossing and crisscrossing of scars. I have been walking through the Desert for one week and my legs are weary. As I crest a rocky, sandy rise I spy the Oasis of Dreams in the distance, beyond which the machines cannot follow. There too, I can slake my desperate thirst.

As I survey the shining water, something warns me of approaching danger. What warns me? Anyone should answer.
