Panel 1, Page 1

Hinjo: Here’s the tunnel I was talking about. It won’t get us all the way to the docks, but it will let us get past a lot of hobgoblins.
Hinjo: We’ll have to make the rest of the way above ground.

Panel 2, Page 1

Haley: Wait, the docks? I thought all the ships left this morning. 
Hinjo: One didn’t. Lien is still holding my personal junk there. 
Belkar: Heh heh, your junk.

Panel 3, Page 1

Hinjo: If we can get to it, we can reunite with the civilian fleet—and the nobles.
Haley: Good plan. You, Elan, Belkar, Durkon, and the two redshirts should head for the boat.

Panel 4, Page 1

Hinjo: Huh? What about you?
Haley: I need to go retrieve a friend’s corpse. 
Elan: What?? By yourself? It’s too dangerous!

Panel 5, Page 1

Haley: That’s precisely why I need to go alone: this job need stealth. I can sneak past the soldiers, snag Roy’s body and shove it into one of my Bags of Holding.
Haley: Then I’ll haul ass and meet you at the boat. Heck, my Movement Speed is better than Hinjo’s or Durkon’s, I may even beat you there.

Panel 6, Page 1

Elan: But… But…
Haley: It’s the only way to get Roy’s body back, baby. Durkon needs his body if he’s going to raise him from the dead.
Belkar: Heh heh, Durkon needs Roy’s body.

Panel 7, Page 1

Haley: It’ll be OK, Elan. Hobgoblins have crappy Listen and Spot checks, I’ll slip right past them. 
Elan: Sigh, OK… but only because it’s for Roy. I just wish I had more ranks in Hide so I could go too.

Panel 8, Page 1

Belkar: Good, glad that’s settled. I’m going with Haley. 
Haley: What? No, I’ll be fine.
Elan: Wow, Belkar, I can’t believe you care so much about Roy!

Panel 9, Page 1

Belkar: I don’t give a dire rat’s ass about Roy, you idiot!
Belkar: But if you remember the terms of the oh-my-gods-can-it-get-more annoying Mark of Justice, I can’t be more than one mile from Roy’s position without it going off.
Belkar: And he had the gall to get killed a good three miles from the docks.

Panel 10, Page 1

Belkar: Plus, I’d rather you didn’t put him in a Bag of Holding.
Belkar: With my luck, pushing him in an extraplanar space like that, will count as him being on another plane of existence, and the stupid curse will go off anyway.
Belkar: Together, we’re more than strong enough to carry him back.

Panel 11, Page 1

Belkar: So, like it or not, I’m going with you. 
Haley: Well, you do have a good Hide skill…OK. You can come.

Panel 12, Page 1

Durkon: Wha’ aboot Vaarsuvius? ‘E’s still out thar. 
Haley: I don’t know. But tomorrow, you can prepare a Sending spell and we can try to make contact—if V’s alive.

Hinjo: OK, then. We’ll meet you at the docks, then.
Haley: Yup. Good luck.
Hinjo: May the Twelve Gods bless you.

Panel 9, Page 2

It gets hot and heavy, "smooch! grope! grope!" Elan is taking off Haley's top.
Belkar: HEY! Break it up! Don’t make me use the Fireball on you two!!
