SPQR problems, problems, problems

Hi, friends. I'm sorry that there's been such a delay with the end of Chapter 2. I've been working on the same four panels for ten days now (on and off), and for some reason I'm having a great deal of trouble with it. I'm posting the pencils that I have so far, if you're curious and want a spoiler (assuming I don't completely change everything), but I expect to toss this attempt out... and perhaps burn it and jump up and down on the ashes in a fit of frustration... and start over again.

( Witness my nervous breakdown here... )
