![The first page of a hand drawn comic, prominently featuring one: Joshua, a handsome and fair skinned human-looking bard with light coloured hair, wearing dangling earrings and a pendant necklace, but is without a shirt at the moment; and two: Dax, a tiefling with curved horns, a tapered tail, and long hair styled in a braid, dressed in pirate style clothing.
In the first panel, Joshua and Dax face each other and prepare to duel, with Dax holding up his fists and Joshua taunting him with an outstretched hand.
Joshua: How about it, Dax? Just you and me. No magic, no weapons. Only the tools nature gave to us. [Aside] C'mon!
Dax: Fine by me. [Aside] not really sure why you took your shirt off though.
In the second panel, under a header that reads: Two minutes later: Joshua is hunched over, stanced awkwardly, panting, drooling, wobbling, and with many bumps and bruises across his half naked body and his face. He has a black eye, and while he looks determined not to surrender, it is clear he is barely standing. A sign pointing to him says "2 HP"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:shmjswq6yj75p6jnhcmdsxqv/bafkreidsf5ona4st237pe5ptpocqk6iwtjxmtrjomiftcokzv3uyob5f5e)
![The fourth page of the comic. In the first panel, Joshua can be seen staggering with a clear indentation in his stomach, his eyes wide and vacant and spittle dripping from his mouth. There's a subtle haze rising from his body.
Joshua: ... Uh-oh.
The last panel shows a full scene where the duel is at the center, Liam (a dark haired human who had been smoking a pipe), Echo (an air genesi/teifling with flowy light hair and a tail with a fluffy end) and Caine (a light coloured cobold with vitiligo markings) all surrounding the scene. In the center, Joshua has vanished into a puff of mist. Liam, standing nearby, turns his head suddenly, such that his pipe falls from his mouth. Caine holds his hands up to his maw with a gasp. Echo, who is on the roof of a house behind the action, crouches down to see what's going on. All are shocked, while Dax looks on with a resigned realization like he just dropped a plate of lasagna on the floor.
Liam: Joshua!!
Echo: Holy cow!! Dax you vaporized 'im!!
Caine: Aah! Oh no!!
Dax: [Aside] Well, shit...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:shmjswq6yj75p6jnhcmdsxqv/bafkreifetmqtr762epgoa5k4kpoqyuhtrappgjwvg3gjmzymwwm4dnghdq)
![Comic. [Person who looks like a wizard, dressed in robe with tall pointy hat and with long beard, standing in front of chart, proclaiming to another person.] PERSON 1: By gazing into my crystals of zircon, I have divined the date of the hour of fire marking the limit of this world’s existence. 4.54 billion years ago, the beginning was nigh!
