“…A creature? What kind?”
“No one knows.”
“NO one? But there were survivors, right? None of them saw it?”
“Apparently not.”
“Not even a glance?”
“Ricki, I’m telling you the same story I was told.”
“Okay, okay, fine.”
“…But if you had to GUESS what it looked like…”
“Ricki!”
“Fiiine.”
“I guess we’ll just never kno—”
“Why do you think they survived?”
Can Ricki see the last panel? Her being interrupted indicates that she can see it, but we are not inside a dungeon, anf Lohk herself doesn’t actually knows what the creature looks like.
Could be a repressed or racial memory popping up
Or her imagination
Yeah, I wonder as well. I can imagine next panels: Ricky abruptly stops and points out to the horizon, saying “…something like that one?”
My first thought was that Lohk said “Oh fine” and then painted a horrifying word picture for Ricki. My second thought was that it’s a new aspect of her Dungeon Eyes becoming active for the first time.
I’ve been assuming the Emperor is the big bad in this story, but now… Maybe the Emperor is the Creature? Or its summoner, or connected to it in some other way?
Nightmare creature from WSWFG?
I was thinking the Tarrasque (from WSWFG).
