Dreamers of Death (comic story)

Inside a dreamscape, Karith battles an army of Kroads to save his fiancée Lyan who has been tied to a stone archway. No sooner has he broken through the hoard is Lyan being menaced by a demon bird which he is forced to slay in order to rescue her. As Karith and Lyan embrace in the company of her parents, Garret and Camilla, the four of them are awoken in the Dream Room. Professional Dreamer Scylla greets her clients as they wake and humbly combats their compliments of her work as a dreamer by stating that she was working with an excellent cast.

Elsewhere, the Fourth Doctor and Sharon Davies land on the farming planet Unicepter IV and the Doctor wastes no time in tracking down his old friends Garret and Camilla. He is surprised to learn that it has been over six years since their last meeting and that Lyan is now a grown adult who is soon to marry Karith at the next Two-Moon festival. When Lyan mentions their adventures within the dream world, Garret explains to the doctor that a native animal known as the Slinth was found to possess telepathic powers which they could harness through a headset to create a fully-controlled dream story. Upon Lyan's insistence Garret agreed to hire another Dreamer so that the Doctor could experience the dreamscape for himself.

Vernor Allen, who was known for having "truly poetic" dreamscapes, was hired to assist the group's dream story.
