PANEL ONE:
In the foreground, DeVallon's ghost looks on as the champion enters the room.
DEVALLON: Ah, there you are. And judging by the fact that several of the items I'd accumulated seem to be missing, I'm guessing this isn't your first time here since my death.
PANEL TWO:
Angle on DeVallon, with the champion in the foreground
CHAMPION: Um... actually, it is. Whoever took them, it wasn't me.
DEVALLON: Well, no matter. You still killed me, and for that, you will pay.
PANEL THREE:
The champion and DeVallon both look down at DeVallon's corpse lying between them, the sword still penetrating its torso (as a ghostly sword is that of DeVallon's ghost).
PANEL FOUR:
DeVallon points down at his corpse.
DEVALLON: Uh... you know, as long as you're here, you could take that sword out of my body.
CHAMPION: Yes... hypothetically, I suppose I COULD.
