Snake Surprise

After the snoring orc, you'll face a door through which you hear nothing.

If you open it, you'll find a small box which you can either leave alone or open... to find snakes inside.

Whether you open the box or not, you'll end up continuing northwards.

If you are Educated, you will notice that on the box is written "Snake Surprise", but only after you've decided to open the box (and thus too late).
