Fight!

The well seems a bit too far to safely reach, so you turn to face your attacker head on - or you would if you knew where it was. The worm barely disturbs the water at all as it swims, making it nearly impossible to track its movements. You slowly back towards the opening, hoping to at least cut off one potential direction it could come from...

As you pace back, you feel the water between your legs start to move. You stiffen, braced and ready to grab the worm as it emerges - but instead, you are blindsided by a slimy tongue lashing around your neck from behind! Coils of squirming flesh burst up from around you before you can react and pin your arms uselessly to your sides.
