- Panel 1
The panel shows Haley and Roy.
Haley: I suppose I should follow my own advice and list all the different yo-yo tricks I know...
Roy: How about we move on instead?
Roy: Serini, other than Sunny, what monsters do you have...
- Panel 2
The panel focuses on Serini, who has fallen asleep with her mouth hanging open.
Roy: (off-panel) ...in your backstage area?
- Panel 3
The panel zooms out to show the Order sans Elan, Minrah and Serini sitting around the table, with Lien standing in the background.
Roy: SERINI!
Serini: Gaah!
Roy: You fell asleep?! So you missed our entire conversation!
- Panel 4
The panel shift back to Serini, with her pointing at O-Chul standing behind her.
Serini: Easy for you to say, Mr. Under Thirty. I'm old, I take naps.
O-Chul: A well-placed short rest can often make the difference in getting through a long day.
Serini: See? This guy naps.
- Panel 5
The panel shifts back to the table the characters sit around.
Roy: Whatever, let's focus on creatures under your command that might be helpful.
Serini: Sure, but don't expect a lot of heavy hitters. Anything too scrappy gets assigned to a dungeon.
Serini: Back here, it's mostly utility monsters like mimics. Mimi's the biggest, then there's another two outside and two in here.
- Panel 6
The panel shifts to focus on Serini and Lien, with Belkar halfway inside the frame and the paladin pointing to the floor.
Lien: In here? Like, in this room?
Serini: Yeah. The dwarves are sitting on them.
- Panel 7
The panel shifts to Durkon and Minrah, with the stools under them having yellow eyes.
- Panel 8
The panel shifts back to Serini.
Serini: What?
Serini: I live alone with a ball full of eyes, why would I own five stools?
- Panel 9
The Panel zooms out to show Roy, Minrah, Durkon, Belkar, Lien, and Serini again, with Minrah having stood up from her stool.
Roy: I guess we can put them down as-
Mimic: Grrrrr!
Durkon: Och, it's stuck to me butt! Get it off! Get it off!
Serini: Stop riling it up! They only secrete glue when they're nervous.
- Panel 10
The panel focuses on Belkar, who is looking to the left, with Lien standing in the background.
Belkar: You know what would calm it down, Durkon? A deep tissue massage.
Belkar: Just squeeze the stress right out of it, like you're kneading clay.
- Panel 11
Belkar continues to look left with a neutral expression.
- Panel 12
Belkar grins as he continues to look left.
Durkon: (off-panel) Och, now both me hands're stuck!
- Panel 13
The panel expands to include Serini and Lien together with Belkar, with the Ranger having turned towards Serini.
Belkar: I'd like to point out that you had plenty of opportunity to tell him not to do that.
Serini: I ain't gonna steal the noodles out of your soup like that, kid.
Serini: But I better get the can of solvent out before he gets whiskers stuck to everything.
D&D Context[]
- Mimics secrete an adhesive on anything that touches them regardless of mood, so Minrah according to Dungeons & Dragons rules should also have had to make an ability check to disengage.
