It's a spittoon. People spit into it. You know without even
looking in it that it's absolutely disgusting.
[Look in it] ↓↓↓

Yeah, it's full of spit. Regular spit, gross tobacco spit, chewing
gum, and it looks like a few teeth as well. It's disgusting. And
the smell! Even from a distance, it smells horrible.

[Look closer]

You are now on your hands and knees, peering into a
filth-encrusted spittoon. I don't... I don't understand what is
wrong with you.

Wait... is there something shining at the bottom?

[Get it]

You reach your hand toward the spittoon. Even before you
touch it, you can feel the grossness in the air like a greasy
fog enveloping the stinking brass horror. It smells like the
vomit trough at a mesquite BBQ eating contest.

You hesitate.

[Never surrender]

You plunge your hand into the awful soup. It makes a sound
like "glop." Your skin is burning. Your eyes start to water.

[Search]

Your fingers make contact with something. You pull your
hand out of the devil's tureen slowly, not daring to risk
splashing the contents all over yourself.

You appear to have gotten some kind of ring. Probably some
kind of disease, as well. Congratulations?
