A new scene, and how you voted (Patreon)

After dinner the hall empties out. Serith and Corvin are still at the lord's table, and the chair between them is empty.

That picture is from the scene I'm writing right now. This time I'm doing the art alongside the writing instead of saving it for the end, and the chapter is moving better for it.

A few more of the people around her got their Chapter 5 clothes, too.

The poll closed last Thursday. I asked which scene in Chapter 4 cost Serith the most: 38% of you said the band in the hall, 31% the map room, 13% the evening with the witness, 13% the price and her answer, and 6% the night in the chair by the fire. Most of you picked a moment where someone else was watching, or close enough to hear. I'm keeping that in mind while I write Chapter 5. Thank you to everyone who voted.

And if a line from any chapter has stuck with you, I'd love to know which one. Roughly is fine, I'll find it.

Enjoy the descent.
