Scylla Page 14

Transcript

Scylla Page 14 - A comic page set inside a large underground chamber that serves as a catch basin for the sewers beneath the city of Haven. The top panel shows concrete walls lined with drainage openings and broken pipes as gunshots and explosions echo from the streets above: “BANG,” “KA-BLAM,” and “BOOM.” Water spills from a ruptured pipe into a shallow stream running across rubble-covered ground.

On the right side of the chamber wall, a large circular tunnel opening has been breached. Pink-ish colored tentacles grip the edges of the large tunnel. As the creature slowly emerges, a guttural sound effect stretches across the panel.

In the lower panels, Ventrik and Tanya stand inside a narrow earthen tunnel facing the chamber. Ventrik, wearing a blue jumpsuit and a tech-mechanical glove, gestures toward the creature and explains that it digs by reinforcing the bones behind its ridges, which must be strong enough to score concrete. Tanya looks up at him as the creature which looks like a large anemone emerges further from the tunnel.

This weeks Scylla page shifts from tension to revelation. What looked like pursuit now becomes anatomy — an explanation of how the creature moves, how it breaks through reinforced surfaces, and what that implies about the structure of the levels themselves.

A new Patreon post explores the storytelling aspects relating to the emergence of the monster. Readers interested in extended creator commentary, worldbuilding context, and lore discussions can find the full article on Patreon.
