Something is wrong here; this doesn't look like the usual art style. It looks like it was drawn by Fran Sundblad of "Tiff & Eve" fame. Weird. 1. Tamilda is helping out with Kayra's Potions (not Poisons) stall. She is staring wide-eyed up into the sky. Singing Cricket leans on the stall and advises her. He does not notice a purple tentacle approaching behind him. Singing Cricket: "Hey kiddo, you shouldn't do that?" Tamilda: "Hm?" Singing Cricket: "Staring at the sun is really bad for your eyes." Tamilda: "Oh, right. I won't." 2. Tamilda continues looking at the sky. Singing Cricket is dragged away, unnoticed. Kayra holds a crate of potions. Among the items hanging from the top of the stall is an annoyed-looking gnome. Tamilda: "Kayra?" Kayra: "Yes, sweetie?" Tamilda: "How long do your potions of True Sight last?" 3. Kayra starts unloading the crate. Tamilda continues staring at the sky. The hanging gnome sticks her tongue out. Kayra :"An hour or two. I tink. I'm not sure." Tamilda: "Have you ever tried them?" Kayra: "Never. Why? What do you see?" 4. The angle changes; we now see Tamilda from behind, and see what she sees. The sun has been replaced by an enormous eye, staring down at her. Tamilda: "Nothin'."

True Seeing is a sixth-level spell for a reason... some things should remain unseen. Kayra's potions are so strong, her True Sight can see through the fourth wall. (At least, that's my interpretation of what's happening here.) Not a bad hook for a campaign.

This is a Love and Hex guest strip by Fran Sundblad... you have probably seen her work before. I reciprocated with an insane Tiff & Eve comic of my own.
