Comic #772: Like a Candle in the Wind (Patreon)

I basically wrote this entire comic just so I could make panel 4.

I actually had a hard time writing this one, because I liked the premise of a Kobold going to the Shadowlands far more than any of the punchlines I came up with. I had one version where the Kobold was rehabilitated into a Kyrian. I had another version where Narya wore his candle as a transmog in the first panel, and wore the Venthyr anima canister cloak transmog in the final panel.

In the end I went with the version that really makes us players look like whiny sociopaths.

I do feel like I haven't fully explored this Kobold's story through the shadowlands. Maybe he'll make another appearance.

I made the speech bubble color white in this comic because there was way too much blue already in the background. I might keep it that way in the future.

Also, you may recognize the Venthyr from comic #756 and #760. He has a serious Anima dependency issue.
