PANEL ONE:
The man from the last two strips is still talking. The champion and Xaga are in the foreground across from him.
MAN: Anyway, so now the Spider Goddess hides beneath the mountains near the Eagles' Pass, stewing in her rage and plotting her revenge upon the gods.
PANEL TWO:
Close on the man.
MAN: And when the night is quiet and still, you can just hear her crazed ranting, coming through the stones...
PANEL THREE:
Xaga and the champion stare at the man in silence.
PANEL FOUR:
Close on the champion.
CHAMPION: So you're saying we shouldn't go to the Grand Observatory? Or that we should find another way to get there?
PANEL FIVE:
Angle on the man, with the champion in the foreground.
MAN: What? Nah. I'm just saying, if you DO go that way, be sure to keep an ear out for her crazed ranting. It can be good for a decent laugh.
