'''''[http://www.pawn.se/comics/1020698/pawn-part-1-page-1/ Pawn]''''' is a [[Web Comics|webcomic]] by fantasy artist Fredrik K.T. Andersson which started in 2004. It follows the adventures of a human girl named Ayanah and her demon partner Baalah, beginning with their first encounter and their escape from the crypt in which Baalah was contained.
 
As of November 2010, new pages have appeared after [[Schedule Slip|two years without them]].
 
Contains lots of bare nipples, so the above link is to the SFW first page. It's pretty light in content, though--more an R than an NC-17.

=== Tropes Used in the Webcomic ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: In-universe example with the Fifth Law of the Seventh Demon Lord. According to Balaah, it's: "Hold back your tongue or I shall shove it up thy arse, you spawn of a mortal." But Ayanah translated it as: "Be silent or I shall smite thee to death, you worm of a crawling coward." Balaah notes that the translation "really sucks."
* [[Amazonian Beauty]]: Baalah, especially when in her giantess form.
Line 15 ⟶ 13:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Though she hasn't displayed much physical capability thus far, Ayanah did manage to make it to the end of a dungeon crawl that has claimed the lives of other adventurers completely unscathed before the comic proper began. She also researched ''exactly'' how to enslave Baalah, permanently, knowing every loophole the princess could use to get out of it.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Ayanah's plot for Baalah. She sneaks into a huge labyrinth after mapping it extensively beforehand and during the trip, finds Baalah after researching her location in ancient demonic texts, uses well researched rules to prevent her instant murder by Baalah using a loophole that allows people to challenge demons via mental powers, not via direct combat, picks out a game that Baalah has no idea how to play, ''taunts her'' into making a bad move, then abuses a very, ''very'' specific loophole regarding virgins and demons to permanently enslave her. She pulls it off ''flawlessly.'' {{spoiler|Except that she accidentally unsealed something other than just Baalah at the same time, and her map for the way out isn't as good as she thought it was, partially due to Baalah and happenstance damaging her trail markings.}}
** Actualy, {{spoiler|Baalah damaged mark only once and even then Ayanah just pulled out map. Right now, Baalah has no problem following Anyanah, as she considers life of servitude outside dungeon better than life of servitude back inside.}}
* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: Balaah watches Ayanah as she sleeps. Justified in that demons don't need to sleep, and Balaah doesn't even understand the concept of it. Nevertheless, Ayanah is still notably creeped out.
* [[Big No]]: Baalah lets one out upon finding out that Ayanah is a virgin.
Line 69 ⟶ 67:
* [[Surprise Checkmate]]: How Ayanah is able to beat Baalah at chess. Possibly justified in that it was Baalah's first game, Ayanah is a scholar, and Baalah... "isn't."
* [[Toilet Humour]]: Fart jokes are a bit of a [[Running Gag]] due to the bad rations Ayanah ate. See [[Fartillery]] and [[Gasshole]] above.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20191017225441/http://www.smackjeeves.com/images/uploaded/comics/d/5/d5f73ad82Hz4O.jpg The Necrachid.]
* [[Treasure Room]]: What Baalah was summoned to guard for all eternity. {{spoiler|The joke is on her, unfortunately -- the cost of creating the [[Treasure Room]], building the dungeon above it, filling it with traps, and summoning Baalah bankrupted the kingdom that was doing all this, leaving ''Baalah'' as the only thing of any value at the bottom of the dungeon.}}
* [[Tsundere]]: Both Ayanah (type B) and Baalah (type A, though it really doesn't take much to trigger her ''deredere'' side).
