Can anyone make out what the drawings above the beanbag are? One looks like a dragon but the other two could be anything.

500% zoom, probably not getting any better than this unless someone has the original file:


The leftmost drawing looks almost like the giant spiky blob is watering a potted plant.

I can't make out at all what the bottom drawing is other than that it's two separate figures (one green, one purple).

Dunno about these, but last time there was a strip with legible runes, it translated to

"there are no secret messages
still wasting your time"

so I wouldn't bank on it being anything important.

Reminder that it has, supposedly, been just 60 years since the Order of the Scribble sealed the last rift and went their separate ways.
In that time, The Illusionist dude managed to create a massive family cult. Each one of those people in that pyramid were his children, or grandchildren, or great grandchildren.
.........Also in that time, Soon became an old man, handed the reins over to Wacky Old guy's father (when WOG was but a small child), who died at some point, and WOG because an old man. Alot happens in 60 years in this world, it seems.


Those could be just child crayon drawings, is what I am saying.

150 years, on average. Serini could definitely still be alive, though she'd be fairly elderly by now.

Per RAW, 100 years+5d20. Though a story-centric character will of course live for as long as she needs to.

The dragon might be the one that Roy got the moon metal from to fix his sword, if we're assuming Serini has been following their escapades. The squiggles could be anything, really.

It's a drawing of the guardian of the gate, a friendly black dragon Serini met. Funny, she hasn't heard from them in a few weeks...

Lol, if the whole Draketooth thing hadn't already played out I'd maybe be willing to entertain this possibility.

Fun that the first actual dungeon dungon was on an upper floor.

Interesting sense of interior design, a lot more high-up plants than somebody short could normally take care of. My first thought on the drawings was more that they're from a kid, but if this is like a studio apartment, I guess they'd have to sleep on the beanbag. Also a book next to the bed like a diary.

But I really love the paladin competition bit.

The bottom one looks pretty similar to Girard’s facial tattoo.

That could be the Empress, Girard's tattoo and the black dragon he's related to.

It has been noted that the color/shape of the cloak is quite similar to the random hole-worshiping cultist the Order of the Scribble fought in their flashback. Who has appeared in... exactly one panel.

Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.

I feel like that bottom one doesn't match up to Girard's tattoo enough from when we see him but Dorukan uses sigils to seal his gate up. Could be something similar.

We also don't know what the relationship of the 2 people living here is aside from a neatly made bed and a sort of sloppy beanbag bed area.

The right of holes to exist. I was actually thinking about a very similar idea earlier today.

Namely that the snarl is a sentient creature the gods made by accident. Do they have the right to kill it?

Then I realized they kill people all the time and being a God is kinda immoral by nature

At least the gods aren't having at best dubiously consensual sex with it, which is better than usual behavior for gods really (insert "right of holes to exist" joke here).
