Detective Bixby Grant stands in the foreground looking out upon a beach in fanged smiley face swintrunks, which a creature from a non-descript lagoon emerges out of the water and begins to skulk toward him. a beach umbrella to the left helps to guide the eye in composition, and clouds accompany the sky behind.

an inked double page spread from blade maidens issue 5, dead in the water. it features an epic chaotic battle between merfolk and the crew of the harpy's talon. the captain, sword raised, in front, mel in wolf form mauling a mer person and taking a bit out of their neck. ser locked in a fight with her sword against a mer person's blade. mer folk hanging from the sails and ropes above the ship and climbing over, the crew surprised and trying desperately to hold their own. all of this occurs in the dark of night.

Page 18 of Blade Maidens issue 5, Dead In The Water. The page begins looking down into a cracked open barrel which houses a hiding mer person. Ser grabs them and hauls them out, declaring them a spy and asking for an explanation. The mer person, named Perch, declares they are a princess on the run, but due to mel's ability to smell a lie, mel makes them "try again". That in addition to a panel focus of all of the gold, goods, and treasure also spilled out of the barrel, Perch gives up the charade and admits to the lie, gives their name. and prepares to get further into it, amused, with the crew.

A stowaway on board the Harpy's Talon might prove to be the answer to The Blades' plight. If they can get a straight answer out of them.
