And that's the end of the chapter. Four pages, and a preview of the next chapter, which begins January 27th.

Some familiar faces here. And Lemuel's listening to his brother and keeping a promise; what an upstanding young man.

Spellmaster Adelier's never lost a lad.

Lem is a looooooot farther gone than anyone suspects. I'm wondering if Duane knows about this or if we're getting two pages of "objective" story. Duane's expression and his lack of glamour makes me think that he knows, or at least guesses correctly, what Lem did.

In a sense, the entire story of this chapter is to set up the last two pages, and the last two pages exist not only to show us what Lemuel is capable of and what life's done to him, but to begin to give Duane reason to doubt his little brother, and finally question just what in the hell he was doing the night of the attack in the snow. We'll see that questioning begin to happen next chapter, with Lady Ilganyag's oh-so-helpful prodding.

So how's Duane gonna react to his clear memories of what happened then? At least he probably doesn't have personal knowledge that Lem is a loving monster?

As someone who likes Duane, I am sure that in literally any way he will act perfectly reasonably and not be a gigantic rotting rear end in a top hat to a bunch of children

Correct, I do not. Its not that big of a deal, just the "gotta have an unrelated thing to do a thing online or you can't" has always bugged me.

turns out it's the river, which is... a bit complicated and Ash has just posted a bunch of interesting stuff about it but tldr it's either the collective will of the local waterwomen or the actual river or both

links and quotes are annoying on phone so maybe I'll do it later but the new update is cool and includes some disturbing visuals because lol it's Unsounded of course it does

Open to the water because that's how the water they live in flows in, converts to First Water, and then flows out and becomes normal again. They're sort of like giant lady-shaped jars that hold First Water, which is unfortunately what the soldiers in the shrine were sent to investigate, iirc.

I bet Lori is guiltily happy that her friend escaped the nets.

We don't officially know what the secret research project(s) are exactly, just that the military is there for them / they involve water women at least in part / there's a fancy rear end construct lab below the shrine, but the leading theory (that afaik I was the first to come up with in the Discord and here :colbert: ) is that yeah they're trying to create a renewable source of an admittedly low value First Material by keeping the waterwoman alive to generate it. And somehow keep it First Water after it leaves their bodies, via shenanigans, because normally it reverts to Normal Water.

The only other renewable First Material we know of (from tumblr only ATM), unless you're gonna chain up Shaensigin or Ruck and cut bits off of them for a very very very very slowly renewable source of First Salt (and here we CAN infer from comic only that she regens) or efhebyscale, is First Silk - the critters that make it can't reproduce, but they churn it out pretty regularly. Even a pretty garbage First Material, which Water probably is if we compare it to sand or salt, is worth looking into if you can reliably produce more of it forever. Kasslynian scientists are starting to ponder the ramifications of First Materials being in finite supply.

we know from the comic that Alderode is fine expending first sand for mine-marking, and wog is that first salt's most common use is pretty much the same as regular salt despite its rarity... otoh Timofey is made out of (the only remaining?) First Light, so if Water is useful for THAT sort of business instead, we done hit the jackpot with this whole "torture waterwomen forever for their juicy innards" plan

Oh, I had assumed the shrine was keeping the water woman like that to stir up the other sprites and use the resulting storm as a barrier.

You can actually see the little lump of the bite she takes on the most recent page. The empty area of the neck has a spine, esophagus and trachea.
