Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for November 22 2023.
PANEL ONE: Erlak's champion looks down at Maiz as they walk through the inn. CHAMPION: Okay, Maiz, if you're going to be coming with me there are some things you ought to know. PANEL TWO: They go down a staircase. CHAMPION: As Trevalien may have told you, I'm a divine champion. That means sometimes I encounter dangerous situations. PANEL THREE: Extreme close-up on the champion. CHAMPION: Now, I'm going to do my best to keep you safe, but I'm not going to lie to you; you _will_ be in danger. You'll have to be careful, because chances are we _will_ meet some very dangerous things... PANEL FOUR: They walk through the common room of the inn. MAIZ: Cool! CHAMPION: Uh, maybe we should go over this again...
