No sense waiting around here while your treasure is gathering dust in the island's remaining ocular cavity. You toss Pestilential Pete's dandruff-covered hat to the side and set off to the east, in search of the fortune that certainly awaits you.

Your high spirits don't last long, however, as there is a lot of desert between the eyes, and going back and forth across the island time and time again is starting to wear you out. Unfortunately, the map shows no watering holes in your immediate vicinity. Looks like you're just going to have to endure it. Or try and suck the water out of one of those crazy cacti over yonder.

At the halfway mark, thirst overtakes you, and you collapse. Maybe, you think to yourself, I can trick one of those vultures into swooping down here so I can jump on his back and ride to the treasure. You think you might be starting to go mad from thirst. Then, suddenly, it hits you: while you were picking through Pestilential Pete's belongings, pocketing anything that could be of any value at all, you grabbed his canteen. Well, this will teach you to pay closer attention to your corpse-pillaging loot. You pull out the canteen and find it to be still about half full. You unscrew the cap and take a long pull off the canteen.

You immediately feel a powerful rumbling in your stomach. Panicking, you check the canteen to see if there is any indication of what it was that you drank. As it turns out, there is a crude label carved into the side of the canteen: Ipecac. Hmm, you thought that water was a bit syrupy going down. It is much less syrupy coming back up, as you discover, for you've consumed enough syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting in a horse. Why did Pete have a canteen full of ipecac? Was is to insure that even if you defeated him, he could still get you, or was he just a sick, sick individual? These questions will go unanswered as you puke and puke, 'til you can't puke no mo'.

START OVER, PUKEY MCPUKERTON!
