Higher Plane Serpents

One of the serpents rears back and strikes you, impaling your foot with its fangs. If only it had spared you instead of striking you. Ouch! Ow! Ugh! Oof! Eek!

Three serpents wrap themselves around your throat and squeeze. You try to apologize for wearing those snakeskin boots, but can't breathe. Oof! Ouch! Oof! Ugh! Oof!

One snake rears up to strike you, but is suddenly grabbed by a badger, who vanishes with it into another plane of existence.

References

• Elements of this adventure reference the widespread internet meme and upcoming film Snakes on a Plane!
• "Spared instead of striking" refers to bowling, where knocking down 10 pins at once is a strike, and knocking down 10 pins in two bowls is a spare.
• "You hope none of them have an Oedipal complex." and "Impaling your foot with its fangs." are references to Oedipus the King, where Oedipus(who the Oedipal complex was named after) married his mother and had a swollen foot.
• "Oedipal complex" might also be a reference to one of the ways Samuel L. Jackson refers to the aforementioned "motherf*****" Snakes on a Plane.
