You drag the snake back to the fountain area and drop it on the ground. Yep, very dead. You slurp from the fountain again, which turns out to be a pretty good idea. Killin' snakes is thirsty work!
You then remember your canteen. You fill it with water from the fountain.
You remove the scraps of shirt from the bayonet and use your belt instead. At first it seemed like the shirt would have made a tighter bond because it's cloth and all, but you really wrapped that belt on there but good.
You wipe some sweat off your brow with the Underwear Hat. Hey, good sign! You're able to sweat! You take another drink to celebrate.
You try putting your gun down and picking it back up again. It ... it's still empty
You feel like you might want to check out the passage north from the altar room. But first, it's snake-bashin' time! Illinois style! (2 votes vs 1)
This time when you return to the snake fountain room there's a snake already waiting for you just to the side of the entrance. It strikes out at you as you creep into the room. Its fangs bite deeply into your boot. You try to stab it with your bayonet but it's wrapping itself around your leg! It rears its head back to strike at your grappled leg!
And suddenly your pants fall down and cover its eyes. You simultaneously stab it with the bayonet.
The dart stays in the bayonet when you pull back, and you stab the snake again and again. It's squeezing your leg really hard but it's so far unable to get out of your tangled pants.
And with one last stab you hear the snake's skull crack. You punched right through with the muzzle of your gun. You pull the gun back and find the dart has broken apart and fallen off. The snake spasms a few times but you can pull your leg out.
You hear more slithering from the direction of the fountain.
