no, It says “the champion rolls to the left” on panel 3. on top of that the previous page has lightning in the first panel. thus we can safely assume it’s a gladiator arena, or something of the sort.
[Verse 1]
Didja think you could escape the long arm of the law?
With that rude uncordial shape, an unacceptable flaw
And you’ve got some sorta attitude the man don’t like
Check your previous offenses, this is your third strike!
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, but haven’t you heard?
You’ve gotta learn to doublethink,
Learn the dogmatic word
Written in purple ink:
[Chorus 1]
“Whoever’s actin’ bad,
Whoever doesn’t fit
Goes in the SCREAM PIT!!
“Whoever knows the law
But can’t get the hang of it
Goes in the SCREAM PIT!!”
They got you now, tag, you’re it–
I’ll see you in the SCREAM PIT
[Bass guitar interlude, ft. guttural screaming]
[Verse 2]
If you thought you could outrun us, you must be new in town
There’s a criminal among us, and you know he’s goin’ down
Doesn’t matter why you stole it, you’ll be written up for theft
And soon now you’ll be hearin’: “The champion rolls to the left!”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, but haven’t you heard?
You gotta stay in your lane
Learn the heaven-sent word
That drives you totally insane:
[Chorus 2]
“Whoever’s actin’ bad,
Whoever doesn’t fit
Goes in the SCREAM PIT!!
“Whoever breaks the law,
Or just cracks it a bit,
Goes in the SCREAM PIT!!”
They got you now, tag, you’re it–
I’ll see you in the SCREAM PIT
[Bridge]
Did you steal?– PIT
Did you murder?– PIT
Did you litter?– WOAH!
Now that’s a one-way trip (PIT!)
Did you jaywalk?– PIT
Did you loiter?–PIT
Were you just reading at the inn?
THAT’S A CARDINAL SIN
Our “No Tolerance” Policy is for the greater good
So don’t let our intentions ever be misunderstood!
[Chorus 3]
“Whoever’s actin’ bad,
Whoever doesn’t fit
Goes in the SCREAM PIT!!
“Whoever hears the law,
But chooses not to submit
Goes in the SCREAM PIT!!”
They got you now, tag, you’re it–
I’ll see you in the SCREAM PIT
[guitar outro fade-out]
…..why did i just spend like half an hour doing that
The champion rolls to the left
The champion rolls to the right
Left right
Left right
And then he goes to fight
He does entertaining fighting and he rolls around
Citizens of Zurrith cheer
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh the champion is rolling
Oh the champion is rolling
Oh the champion is rolling
Roll left roll right
Fight fight fight
id say Caliban’s Champion because in the shouting you can make out “The champion rolls to the left!” and not PML or Kendall because for Kendall it would be wayyy too quick because he just got arrested by Zuurith
+ and PML hasnt been arrested yet as far as I know (unless she regularly participates in the arena fighting which she probably doesnt because the first we see of her is in Windscrest which is quite a bit farther away than Zuurith and she only came to Zuurith to find Erin
rooollllll to the left!
rooollllll to the right!
criss-cross!
everybody scream for blood!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
well, when they introduce the prison they do say that prisoners are “made useful in other ways” so he could be serving his sentence, that being said I also think It’s Punchy Metal Lady
I decided I needed as much sleep as I could get before the exam on Tuesday so I didn’t wake up for my usual 6:30 AM alarm. Probably won’t tomorrow either. Thanks for not being mad
I am in high school. And my dumb school is omitting finals because guess what? They didn’t finish the curriculum! Haha geniuses…
But really, when you start the school year late and change the schedule a bazillion times because guess what you’re rushing to in person school despite the very real threat of Covid I can’t expect you to actually get education right.
A few minutes later Falst hops back down. “Yup! Big open air theater, looks like a production of some high class nonsense we’ll all find boring, so lets just head back to our rooms without summoning any giant trees or losing our shit over anything.”
And then we walked back to their rooms, found the note from Kendal, calmly collected him the next morning and left town and everything was fine.
Oh no, Erin! Our friends are confused/interested in this facet of this city but have not information on it. They could sure use some exposition. (Erin keeps sulking) … Wow he’s really out of it.
So it seems the Ingan champion is fighting, I wonder if Kendal got roped into this area as well. I could see two things happening in that case: 1, the gang observes for a while and is shocked when the next opponent turns out to be Kendal or 2. they’re disgusted by the spectacle and leave just before Kendal walks onto the arena.
While Alinua is in a better mental state to cover Falst than Erin I’m not sure how effective her day-to-day magic is in the middle of a city.
Hey guys, idk if i missed something but Kendal being “confined to the peak” (the citadel presumably) it sounds like hes effectively under house arrest. If Zurrith put him in the arena, he would have worded that differently so he could lawfully do so. Also, Kendal has a god’s body & putting him in the arena might do Zurrith more harm than good, especially if the populace found out who he was, or if Kendal lasted longer than a sef and his friends were ready to go (Zurrith just lets him go free? He doesnt want him in the city in the first place and now he’s detaining them until Kendal dies?), or Kendal broke free and reigned havoc on the city, or —
TL;DR Zurrith putting Kendal in the arena causes more problems than it solves
gladiator arena?
Okay. Guess we found that arena.
Maybe it’s a rock concert
no, It says “the champion rolls to the left” on panel 3. on top of that the previous page has lightning in the first panel. thus we can safely assume it’s a gladiator arena, or something of the sort.
I challenge the comments to compose a rock song containing the lyrics “the champion rolls to the left”

I didn’t make you so gullible Falst
Let’s see how entertained Zuurith really is 😀
“Are you not entertained!?“
Place your bets! Who’ll be in the arena? Kendal! or Punchy Metal Lady!
id say Caliban’s Champion because in the shouting you can make out “The champion rolls to the left!” and not PML or Kendall because for Kendall it would be wayyy too quick because he just got arrested by Zuurith

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yeah that’s what I’m hoping
well, when they introduce the prison they do say that prisoners are “made useful in other ways” so he could be serving his sentence, that being said I also think It’s Punchy Metal Lady
guys i dont think its a big open-air theatre
Erin’s still suffering
for those who dont know theres a new chap cover and its awesome as heck! also i wonder who those legs belong to
Looks like it’s going to be a jail break after all.
I looked at it and I’m thinking Falst and Ali need to protect a now fugitive Erin while Kendal is out of commission and the storm is in full swing.
I commented on Tynan’s sun-blocking fury yesterday; today I shall point out that the peak looks like an imposing villain’s lair and I love it.
Does anyone else think that the triangle on the new chapter cover kinda looks like Bill Cipher?
There is nothing more innocent then a gigantic pit full of screaming people.
wait one god damn minute…. champion? Me thinks we’re about to see potential ignan floof squad addition that Cailban was talking about.
“Really?” “cover me, I’ll check” I’m loving this dumbass group dynamic so much
They only have 2 braincells (falst and alinua) but evidently, those braincells aren’t always in use
Falst is an optimist, let him dream guys
*covers his cat ears* shh, that’s not a gladiator arena, honey, it’s Hamlet, you’ll love it
TL;DR: Let’s spy on this totally not suspicious pit of screams! What could possibly go wrong?
Sorry this is later than usual. There was no school today so I overslept.
I won’t fault you for enjoying the simple things in life.
Don’t be ridiculous! You can’t oversleep on a day off!
I decided I needed as much sleep as I could get before the exam on Tuesday so I didn’t wake up for my usual 6:30 AM alarm. Probably won’t tomorrow either. Thanks for not being mad
Sounds like a really intense game of DnD. “THE CHAMPION ROLLLLLSSS… A NAT 20!!!!!!”
I meAn…
…for all we know it could be a play…
Just me tryna be optimistic :’(
Rose you are wonderful but I think the pit of screams is an entirely different type of entertainment
Ohhhh, are they going to be pitted against the ignan champion in the arena or something like that??
Off-topic, but I really like the purple aesthetic the group has right now. Very classy.
Purple is often associated with royalty…
this looks like a hellhole then an arena to me with all the screaming lol
Probably just a bunch of college students stressed about finals
I didn’t know Somebody would be in the arena
Aren’t they in high school, though?
I am in high school. And my dumb school is omitting finals because guess what? They didn’t finish the curriculum! Haha geniuses…
But really, when you start the school year late and change the schedule a bazillion times because guess what you’re rushing to in person school despite the very real threat of Covid I can’t expect you to actually get education right.
Gotta be the arena
A few minutes later Falst hops back down. “Yup! Big open air theater, looks like a production of some high class nonsense we’ll all find boring, so lets just head back to our rooms without summoning any giant trees or losing our shit over anything.”
And then we walked back to their rooms, found the note from Kendal, calmly collected him the next morning and left town and everything was fine.

TL;DR Zurrith putting Kendal in the arena causes more problems than it solves
I agree. Now, Kendal placing himself in the arena to jailbreak the champion discussed several pages ago, more reasonable.
Happy pride month
cha cha real smooth
