I shout "Back you infernal beast! You will claim no more life as long as I still draw breath!" as I lunge forward dagger drawn. I lodge my dagger deep into the top of the snake's skull, and with a fountain of blood spewing from the dagger wound, the venomous snake starts to slither away. Just then a lightening bolt comes out of nowhere and strikes the snake, slaying it where it stood.
I rush over to John2020 and hold him in my arms. He coughs up blood onto my armor and loses control of his bowels for a slip moment filling the air with a putrid smell. I try not to wrinkle my nose, but the stench is far too great. I gag a little, but regain composure when John2020 barely makes out the question "Did you *hack hack* Did you get the snake fangs?" I lay John2020 against a stump as he proceeds to soil himself further. The stench from his bowels frightens the large bats and snakes in the Qeynos Hill region so I convince myself John2020 will be okay for the quick moment.
I saunter up to the large snake and try to remove the snake fangs from the corpse, but a mythical barrier protected the snake's corpse. I tried again and again, but nothing I could do would allow me to loot away the snake fangs. Then a dark and sinister laughter bellows from off in the distance. A shadowy figure comes forth cackling like a mad man. I draw my dagger and yell "Who are you? Why did you slay that snake? I had things under control." The shadowy figure continued its crazed cackling as it drew closer and closer, and with each step towards me, my eyes grew wider and wider with freight. The shadowy figure placed himself a safe distance from me and ceased his cackling. He then slowly drew back his hood and asked "Tell me Lexical, do you know the muffin man?" My eyes were the size of dinner plates as I shrieked "McMuffin!"
