Fire in the Belly of the House

Depicted moment

After the house swallows Carver, Chip, and Pearl, the company attacks its interior. Chip’s flames set the building burning as the exit begins to give way. From Session 27: The House That Swallowed Them.

Artistic interpretation

The composition compresses the attacks on the interior and the opening escape into one moment. Pearl’s bracing pose, exact room geometry, and the amount of visible fire are interpretive; Chip remains wholly spectral.

Canonical status

Session 27 illustration, preserving the established campaign character references. Narrative events are canonical; incidental staging and the visual treatment of supernatural effects are interpretive.
