Got the comic this morning, here's a summary.
Lombrocorp is overrun with rats and king Alaric has asked Kerub to recover a powerful scroll. Said scroll reveals the positions of soul fragments from the elemental Shushus Goultard destroyed in Les Shushus de Rushu, which he would like to use to defeat the rats and their leader Sphincter Cell.
It turns out that Lou has also asked Kerub for help since she was caught by the rats with her adventuring party (we barely see her in this tome so that's all we know and I wonder how exactly she contacted him). And of course, Indie has caught wind of this and is doing his best to complete the mission before Kerub for both the glory and Lou.
It gets more complicated, though. For some reason, Kerub has lost his memory. Every few pages including the very first one, he has weird dreams where he interacts with Ecaflip and tries to understand what's going on, but the god remains cryptic. Even though he's being helped by Crocosec, he doesn't remember him, and they're being hunted by Rogues who want to bind the soul fragments into Shushettes, Shushu weapons that can absorb Shushu soul fragments.
After the first day, Kerub has another dream with Ecaflip and when he wakes up, Crocosec is gone with the scroll. It turns out that he's reliving the same day but starting earlier. He now remembers that he (or rather Crocosec) only has half the scroll and Indie has the remaining part. They relive the events of the previous day, without making the same mistakes, and make camp for the night. The next morning, they are ambushed by Indie and the Rogues he's hired, and they take the map back. But the Rogues betray Indie and tie the three of them to a tree, leaving with the map.
The comic ends with Kami, the huppermage who made the scroll, visiting them, asking why they stole it and saying he's going to get it back. He advises them to go home. According to him, unleashing the soul fragments to save Lombrocorp would be just another way to destroy it.
