In a crop of a cover by gobifrip.bsky.social, a lich in a large intimidating crown lounges lazily on their throne, watching a restrained barbarian in a glowing orb. Two goblins of cute looks but clearly low int scores watch on as the lich chews on their well-manicured nail because they are so eeeeeevil.
