Panel 1:
We're visiting Hidden Spring Keep, a Skeleton Fort in the Sea of Thieves. We're looking from an elevated viewpoint at a watchtower, with the main part of the fort visible in the background. A skeleton (George the Observant) stands proudly vigilant.
George the Observant: Ha! No ship will get past George the Observant!
Panel 2:
In the background, a pirate galleon has reached the fort. A Skeleton stands on the shore, waving and shouting at George the Observant. George the Observant has crossed his watchtower to look down at the Skeleton behind him.
Skeleton: HOY! GEORGE THE IDIOT!
Skeleton: LITTLE HELP OVER HERE?
Panel 3:
George the Observant turns his back on the fort, gesturing out of this watchtower towards the camera. In the background, a band of pirates has stormed the fort and is chasing the Skeleton from panel 2.
George the Observant: No can do, friend!
George the Observant: My cannons point that way. I guard this approach.
George the Observant: Good luck, though!
Panel 4:
The fort's now on fire, with the pirate galleon nowhere to be seen. Black smoke chokes the sky. George the Observant remains in his watchtower, blissfully unaware of the carnage behind him. Somehow, he whistles.
George the Observant: 🎶
None shall pass! Except those guys.
