The captured cultist let slip that Kaza, who'd headed directly to the [[Temple of the Serpent | The captured cultist let slip that Kaza, who'd headed directly to the [[Temple of the Serpent God]], was walking into a trap. Taking the Commissioner's jeep, the three got reinforcements at the [[Natari]] village before getting to the Temple in time for the nightly ceremony where Nerlana intended to sacrifice Kaza to [[Nerkash]], their “Serpent God”, who proved to be a very real (but not actually supernatural) giant snake that Nerlana psychically controlled using [[The Artifact (The Serpent Sorceress)|a magical tiara]], as her father had before her. The day ended up being saved with much less bloodshed than anticipated when Wimberly reflexively shot at the beast; the sight of their “god” bleeding caused the cultists to scatter, while the snake, breaking free from Nerlana's control in its panic, ended up eating her, a denouement which the Commissioner wryly noted would give him “five times the paperwork”. | ||
[[File:Commissioner examines Kerkash.png|thumb|right|300px|The Commissioner calmly examines the wounded “Serpent Lord” [[Nerkash]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Serpent Sorceress (comic story)|The Serpent Sorceress]]'')]]In the ensuing clean-up, the Commissioner decided to send the magical tiara back to England for “review and advisement” in the full knowledge that it would sit on some dusty shelf for “the next few centuries”, safely out of harm's way. He then contacted his friend [[Vincent (The Serpent Sorceress)|Vincent]], a herpetologist, about the snake, who was thus healed, documented as an example of a new species previously unknown to science, and brought back to the [[London Zoo]]. By the time news of this outcome made their way back to Buranda, an extremely amused Commissioner also helped the still-demure Wimberly deal with the embarrassing position his spur-of-the-moments heroics had netted him, namely that several women of the Natari village — many of whose men had been wiped out during the Cult's original reign of terror — now wanted to bear his children.
