Immortal Games, Book 4 is coming out tomorrow in bookstores!

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/immortal-games-pirateaba/

It's poll time.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Between my month off and also just the new schedule, I haven't done a poll in a while. Partly that's because I still owe chapters and while Oelnnox is done (and being edited in my side-projects time this week), Rickel is still owed.

It's a complex arc so I keep delaying it for easier ones. And yes, some arcs do feel a lot easier. However, I do want to keep offering polls...it's just that Volume 10 is coming to a close and I pretty much know which arcs I have left. I'm loathe to start another one, so here's what I want to offer.

Interludes. Each one I've listed is one I know should be a short interlude or should be in Volume 10 before the finale. I've even got pieces done of some of them like Krshia or the Lilliam chapter. Go read the chapter concepts if you want a refresher on her.

This poll is just to see which one you get as a, well, interlude during the current arc. It'll be the last poll of the year and I'll be writing full-steam until Christmas and my January break, so wish me luck for this week and beyond! I've been pushing hard writing chapters and I've got one coming out on Saturday that'll tell you what the current arc will be. Until then, vote away! Thanks,

Blanking on Lilliam. Was that Sixswords’s wife?

Alexander Fish

Haven't seen the big man do anything cool lately and hes starting to be overshadowed by everyone else so it would be cool to catch up with him

Francine Mills

I didn’t even have to think. I don’t know when I became a Grimalkin Stan but here we are!!! Testicles!!!

TennTitan

Honestly I am amazed at how much you have written and how I am still so engaged with the stories. This is the only series I keep up with that has so many perspectives and characters. I do wish for more perspectives of my favorite characters, but don’t we all. Thank you for giving us The Wandering Inn!!! It is by far the best series I have ever read!

Gavin Marsella

I think so. A sixswords arc would be interesting but he isn't a very broad character yet; from what I remember he seemed like a guy with anger issues and imposter syndrome

Francine Mills

Lilian is the prisoner from earth. The murderer with the griffon prince

PreHistoricDevil

Wouldnt krshia mean getting to know about her losing political class and seeing our gentle half guant more? VOTE KRSHIA, SHE ALREADY LOST ONE VOTE DONT LET HER DOWN ON THIS ONE.

Isaac Thompson

Come on Krshia! She lost her purpose and needs to rediscover herself.

Remarkable

Who’s Lilliam again?

John Hunter

I CAST FIST. You should too! A vote for Grimalkin is a vote for the big drake himself

Cameron

Ahh ok. Meh, enough earther POVs, I’ll probably pick another then.

Helios6754

I’d love to see Lilliam in Liscor. That’d be pretty fun to see, especially if she visits TWI

Ged

High time twi had TESTICLES!!!! screamed from our favorite Sinew Magus

Tim Baril

Choosing a character is always such a difficult choice. Do you choose an old fave or someone new to explore? Ultimately, I picked Lilliam because Pirateaba is amazing at creating new characters.

Derpfen

It's Lilliam, not Lilian on the poll. It is Zeter's wife with the [Sheath Tender] class.

Taylor West

I vote for anand chapter ^_^

Diego Castrejon

I always pick the least popular ones. Sad

A

I’ve been dying to know how Krshia responds to losing the election and seeing her (hopefully) comeback arc!

Adam

I have been waiting patiently to see Lilliam's interlude ever since the mini-chapters. I just think it would be really funny to have that exemplar of Manus duty and honor, the woman who stays married solely so that the City of War can continue to have an effective Named Adventurer as an agent, run up against Liscor. Not just the Inn, but like...Liscor, as it is now. The cosmopolitan city getting stronger from everything Manus says is un-Drake-like. That just seems like it would be a really interesting time. Unfortunately from the numbers right now that seems unlikely, but a surely a man can dream.

Francine Mills

Yep you’re right, I saw Lillian I completely forgot about LilliaM and stop it Pirate this hurts my Brian ;)

John

Lilliam would be interesting, but Grimalkin probably comes with magic school updates and I'm all about that

Antoine Triani

I really want the Lilliam one, she's interesting!

IReadtooMuch

The boxer dude needs his own arc

Helen of Boy

Lilliam was my favorite of the mini-chapters, so even if she's not exactly in the lead here I'm going to vote for her and hope for the best! Not like I'd be unhappy with either of the others, but Lilliam's story was really interesting worldbuilding, getting a relevant example of how higher-lower level relationships can work out (or, uh... NOT work out, as it were).

Helen of Boy

The lower leveled wife of an adventurer (Zeter?) who was dealing with the risks of her husband massively outleveling her. At the end of the mini-chapter, she was extorting a vacation from Manus and on her way to Liscor.

SofLLit

Lol, My first instinct was Grimalkin, but then you mentioned Krshia's reclass and I was like... yeah.

Benjamin Coffin 5th

Lilliam also is time sensitive as her arrival is now past due. If nothing else have her arrive in the city. In fact her story could be mixed with one of the others as either of the other two could be affected by meeting with her. Keep in mind she has a fairly unique support class that could alter to support someone else with the right circumstances.

Ozenator101

Lilliam hell yeah, hope to see her soon

Cory Newton

Torn on this one, I really like Grimy the Lover. and he will win this poll. So, I voted for Krshia, since she needed the support of her friends right now.

RedGoblin

Same! I mean I love Grim, and I know he is going to win. <3

Parker

I’m curious when we start seeing serious preparation for the mother of graves.

WyrdWizard

A vote for Grimalkin is a vote for True Love and Magic

Matthias Ateo

We need to see Krshia but Life is ever so slightly on the up and up right now and I don't wanna hear anything about lost elections 😂

Brooke

vote krshia!!

Thatguyuknow

This is not a fair poll pirate. You have two charcters who we have fallen in love with fighting eachother...then Lilliam. No one is choosing them lmao. Either way while I so desperately want more Grimalkin, I do hope Krshia wins despite my prefrence.

Greg

You sold me but Grimalkin has a pretty strong lead.

Zephyr

It's clobberin' time! -muscle mage (probably)

meowmeow

Ngl...I would've voted for Lilliam if this was going to be like a 10k word mini chapter of its own. I just don't think her story is worth a full chapter, like if this were introducing her and then getting her arc maybe, but we already know both that she should leave Zeter and that she knows that and is only staying for her kids and her patriotism. Like...we know what the result will be, it doesn't need 30k words to get there.

K

Finally caught up reading to vote on a poll... lets go non toxic masculine Grimalkin

Isaac Thompson

I switched my vote to Lilliam from your comment

AT27

Not really excited for any of these, whats up with Rickel?

Beth Armstrong

Had to go re-read the Lilliam mini chapter and was not disappointed. I do really want to find out what happens when she goes to Liscor now, but the poll doesn't seem to be going that way 😔 Thankful that Pirate said some is already written, so we should get it eventually 😁

Adam

Successful election campaigning, right here

Hursha

Guys, we need Lilliam. Trust.

Hursha

It's not about Sixswords, it's about Lilliam.

Hursha

Lilliam is such a cool PoV to have, I need.

Hursha

He's the guy who created the Golden Triangle scheme.

Froyo Baggins

Lilliam's story shows Drake culture's sad excuse for social work support, which members of society they truly value and which they're willing to sacrifice. Lilliam's absolutely deserving of a vacation and more but I've been dying to see how a trip to Liscor will change her and her kids perspective. They may never want to go back. So SO sad to see that she's losing-- Froyobaggin's wife

Francine Mills

Now I’m going to mention that the chapter synopsis actually had Lillian. It may have been corrected by now.

Antione Tweed

Honestly I've just been kind of waiting for the next chapter with her favorite aunt and goat Duo I really want more of them

SHNGAMI ankedo

I'm just waiting for a Klbkch chapter

Jimmy Nguyen

Three solid choices and I can see such solid arguments from everyone but I really want to see Krshia's persepective the most since it's been so long since we had anything really centered around her POV

Nik

GONADS!!!!
