- Panel 1
The panel shows Belkar, Durkon, Roy and Serini approaching what looks like the end of one of Serini's tunnels, with dead monsters surrounding them.

Roy: Is this the final room or is there a secret door somewhere?
Serini: You build a few hundred of these and you lose interest in fancy floorplans. This is it.

Serini: Now I just need to spring the trap.

Serini: Woo!

Roy: I honestly do not.

A portal starts to open in front of Roy and Serini. QUUUURMM
Serini: Ah, see, here we go. Told you it would still work.

The panel shifts to show Roy and Serini from behind as an illusion of Serini's younger self appears in the fully opened portal.

Serini: Ugh, I forgot about this daffy brat, too.
Young Serini (Illusion): Greetings, brave adventurers!

Serini: Oh, shut up! Shut up! Nobody cares!
- Panel 8
The illusionary Serini continues her explanation as her present self points at her.
Young Serini (Illusion): Congratulations on defating the first stage of Kraagor's Tomb, proving you have as much persistance and dedication as you have strength.

Serini: And have no idea what you're committing to, you weak-soled bridge-buyer!
