- Panel 1, Page 1
Nale: Well, since we're all alone and I'm surprisingly comfortable in the cold-
Nale: -maybe you should take a moment to inspect the products and/or services you made sure to include in the contract.
Sabine: Oh geez, baby, I really would like that- but we're sort of in a rush now.
- Panel 2, Page 1
Sabine: Our best bet is to try to get to the Gate before either Xykon or your brother, but we're not even 100% certain how to find it yet.
Sabine: Also, I think my bosses might be scrying on us.
- Panel 3, Page 1
Nale: The whole world is full of people who can scry. They can all watch, for all I care.
Sabine: Nale!
Nale: What? If we make it earth-shattering enough, we won't even need to find the Gate.
Sabine: Nale!
- Panel 4, Page 1
Nale: OK, OK. we'll do it the boring way and destroy the world first, have infernal demon-devil sex second.
Sabine: Thank you. And don't make it sound hot like that, it only makes it tougher for both of us.
- Panel 5, Page 1
Nale: Hand me the weird dagger, then.
Nale: We need to establish the mystical connection between me and the Fountain-Full-O-Blood. The instructions were pretty vague but I have an idea.
Sabine: I'm way ahead of you, babe. Check it out:
- Panel 6, Page 1
Sabine reveals a tooth.
Sabine: Ta-da!

Nale: Oh! Is that what I think it is?
Sabine: I had to disguise myself as a construction worker in your dad's city for a week to get my hands on it.
- Panel 8, Page 1
Sabine: I even got written up for not wearing proper steel-toed sandals.
Nale: How does that...even work?
Sabine: Oh, you have to go to HR and they make you sign a thing.
- Panel 9, Page 1
Sabine: And I was also able to loot some treasure from Malak's empty quarters before I left.
Nale: You are, yourself, a treasure, my dear.
Nale: I'll read it, my pronunciation is better.
- Panel 10, Page 1
Sabine: Hey, I managed to summon you, didn't I?
Nale: Yes, and I'm very impressed you did.
Sabine: Alright, as long as we both know that I could do it, if I had to.
- Panel 11, Page 1
Nale: Last chance for alone time before we have company.
Sabine: Just read the scroll, lover boy.

Thog: bye bye, thog's bones! thog will see you later-
Thog: -maybe after gruesome compound fracture!
- Panel 8, Page 2
Thog: now here come all the little piggies! let's count them all!
- Panel 9, Page 2
Nale: Actually, let's not. If we don't have time for fun, we definitely don't have time for counting.
Nale: And if we don't get some shoes on you, the total is going to change in the middle.
Thog: nale!

Thog: thog is happy because thog's very best friend nale is here!
Nale: Ooof!

Nale: It's good to see you, too, old buddy. I hope the afterlife wasn't too hard on you.
Nale: Conjure Clothes.
Thog: thog met nice bone man with a rowboat and got to pet a puppy with three heads!
- Panel 12, Page 2
Thog: then thog was forced to confront lifetime of thog's wicked deeds.
Thog: now that thog has second chance at life, thog faced with new opportunity to not make same mistakes.
- Panel 13, Page 2
Thog: but if thog did that, thog wouldn't get to see the puppy next time!
- Panel 14, Page 2
Nale: See? Your bosses don't need to rebrand the Lower Planes.
Nale: They just need to figure out how to make everyone a lot dumber!
Thog: wait, weren't thog's hands just lines before?
D&D Context[]
- The bone man Thog refers to is either Charon, a daemon master who provides safe passage along the River Styx for a price, or one of his servants known as a charonadaemon.
Trivia[]
- Thog's resurrection sequence mirrors Roy's in #665: both start with the reconstruction of their skull and end with the regeneration of a foot (left foot in Roy's case, right in Thog's). Both characters are also completely naked afterward, with their private parts blurred out.
- Thog was shown petting a canine with three heads (presumably Cerberus) in the OOTS 2016 Calendar.
