(RustySword) Slay this beast!
The Dune Viper strikes faster than the human eye can follow. Fortunately you're some kind of cat-thing and not a human.
You deftly sidestep the serpent's head as it sinks its fangs into the ground, and climb up on it.
You maintain your footing, and plunge the point of your awful sword between its eyes. Black ichor sprays all over you.
The Dune Viper slumps to the ground dead. Arpeggio gives you a golf clap.▮
