After the choir sings, Auld Lang Syne, the adventurers listen to a tale of dragons killing a princess. In a tiny village, on the coast of Indochina, a daughter of a high caste Brahma wants to escape, and flee to the west. Can she convince Hogan to take her with him, And marry her?
Before hogan knows it, the Brahma calls the couple to see him. He would rather lose all than to have his daughter marry outside her station in life. The westerner becomes privy to a ceremony not usually seen by outsiders.
The Brahma is a snake charmer but knows equally well how to stir up his vipers. When the snake people kiss, those who they kiss sleep well.
