| Stanley rises from his chair, shouting. A pigeon disturbed by his outburst takes flight. | [edit] |
|
Pigeon: COO! Stanley the Plaid: No! Absolutely not! It would literally empty the treasury! | [edit] |
| Wanda and Stanley are face-to-face. Stanley is angry; Wanda is calm but firm. | [edit] |
|
Wanda Firebaugh: Lord, you can't spend the treasury if you get croaked. Stanley the Plaid: I won't get croaked. Even if the city falls, I can take the Arkenhammer and get out. | [edit] |
| Wanda continues to argue her point. | [edit] |
|
Wanda Firebaugh: But you can't take the money. If the city falls, Ansom[1] will seize the treasury. | [edit] |
| Stanley looks off to the side with a petulant expression. | [edit] |
|
Stanley the Plaid: Mm. Right. Unless I spend it first. Wanda Firebaugh: Yes, Lord. | [edit] |
| We see Stanley from behind, waving an arm, as Wanda continues to make her pitch. | [edit] |
|
Stanley the Plaid: Still. One warlord. That's all we'd get. Wanda Firebaugh: The perfect warlord. | [edit] |
| Stanley listens, now looking thoughtful. | [edit] |
|
Stanley the Plaid: Undefeatable? Wanda Firebaugh: I... don't think so. But, as good as they come. Stanley the Plaid: How can they ask half a million for a spell? Wanda Firebaugh: Technically, the spell is 350,000. It's the casting and support plan that brings it to the full-- | [edit] |
| Stanley points at Wanda. | [edit] |
|
Stanley the Plaid: Oh! Okay, well you're a caster. You can do the summoning. Wanda Firebaugh: No, Lord. I'm a Croakamancer. We need a Findamancer. | [edit] |
| Stanley looks smug and satisfied. | [edit] |
|
Stanley the Plaid: Oh, Wanda. Don't sell yourself short. You're a great caster. You just have no head for finance. The "support plan" is how they get you. | [edit] |
| Wanda tries to speak up; Stanley waves dismissively. | [edit] |
|
Stanley the Plaid: Go ahead and take 350,000 shmuckers and go buy this spell. I look forward to meeting our new champion. Wanda Firebaugh: Lord... Stanley the Plaid: You win, Wanda. Don't make me change my mind. Dismissed. | [edit] |
| Wanda walks away, looking downcast. | [edit] |
|
Sound: step step step | [edit] |
| Wanda is now outdoors, at the foot of the Tower of Efdup. She stares off into the distance. | [edit] |
| (There is no text in this panel.) | [edit] |
| Wanda is still standing at the foot of the tower. She shouts out in frustration. | [edit] |
| Wanda Firebaugh: CRAP!! | [edit] |
| A gobwin is riding an airborne yellow dwagon, which has just dropped a large brown mass. | [edit] |
|
Gobwin: Heheh. Sound: PFRRT | [edit] |
| A view from above of Bogroll looking up from around the edge of his parasol. | [edit] |
