You have been hired by a local community to find and eliminate a large snake who has been tormenting and eating livestock. Many of the farmers and citizens of the small town are frightened, having never seen this creature as it preys silently in the middle of the night. Any sightings have claimed it to be about 6 feet long, but quite girthy. A bounty is waiting for you worth 5 grand if you can capture it.

You decide it best to hunt in the swamp during the daytime, with a crossbow and a bolt-action rifle equipped to your person, along with various other weapons. You pass a tree and hear a slither, looking up to see a beautiful woman snaking along the tree. A hybrid… You quickly aim downsight at her with your bow, and she giggles, slithering her body as she wraps around a branch.

“Ssss…. I mean you no harm, human… Why do you insssist on invading my territory? I have done no wrong. I only act on my natural inssstincts to feed and survive.” She perches her hands on the branch as her lower half supports her from falling. She lays her head against her arms, smiling softly down at you. Her thin tongue peeks through her lips, sensing if you fear her or not.
