Lorath realized that he probably wouldn't be able to dislodge the snake by reaching down and yanking at its tail, at least not without tearing out a good chunk of flesh, muscle, and possibly bone. He also didn't think he would be able to reach under the cloak that has suddenly attatched itself to him, so taking it out by the head wouldn't work either. There had to be some way to get rid of this trouser snake though.
Suddenly it hit him. The idea would probably hurt a bit, but it would be much preferable to that would happen if he let the snake linger on. Quickly he pulled his legs up and fell on his butt, then used the momentum to roll up his back and over his shoulder, hopefully squishing this serpent as he had the previous one.
