A view of the city of Roslori from the wall of the North Gate.  There is evidence of the Wasteland Tribal attack here: The physical gate itself is broken and off its hinges; the decorative banner above the gate has snapped, a piece of it lying on the ground; the green gem atop the wall is smashed; and a few Tribal spears and ladders are scattered on the ground, with some ladders still standing against the wall.  There are no people.

A narration states "Roslori, days after the Tribal attack.  An eerie silence permeats the air."

A view of a street inside the city.  The city is strewn with debris, further artifacts of the Tribal attack, with broken street lamps, broken signs, an overturned litter bin with lumps of whatever scattered around, broken glass, a dislodged sign (in the shape of a strawberry, clearly indicating the building on which it rested was a produce market), scattered mail from a downed mailbox, and other signs of damage.  Still, no people.

The narration continues: "At present, the city is still empty.  Not even thieves or scavengers have come forth to take advantage of the situation."

A view of the festival grounds.  Several tents are still standing, though in serious disrepair.  Tent fabric is torn, burned, and flapping in the wind, revealing the structural materials of the tent behind them.  Damaged parts of tents, leftover food, and a stray Tribal spear lie on the ground.  Again, no people.

The narration: "More importantly, though, the city is also empty of Wasteland Tribals and their ersatz goddess."

A silhouetted view outside the East Gate of Roslori.  We see three guards walking away.

Another narration: "Also, as per a few minutes ago, the city is also empty of these specific members of the city guard."

Spaced down the panel a bit more: "These guards right here."

And a bit further down still: "They're heading out."
