Fexton attempts to cast a spell on a snake

The gods have forbidden me to go into the details of this spell so I can only some up what happend. Fexton Huffle ended up without any weed and with poison ivy after the spell was done. But he also gained a dim witted snake companion. He thought it to hunt mice in his weather beaten home. He loved the snake but it died four weeks later when a Jehovah's witness crushed it with his car in the driveway as he went to try to save Fexton. Fexton fought the man and lost, ended up with a black eye and a dead snake.
