Acknowledging the koblins and discussing them as a culture in their own right entitled to basic respect and not trrating them like bags of hitpoints is an excellent and intriguing take! I might just have to do something similar in my fic once it gets off the ground. Plus, some of the koblins use magic, so that lends itself to even more questions about the magic system, which is going to be what I plan on focusing on, but this isn't about me it's about you. So MOVING ON.
Lucke has always been an interesting character to me. He's got his hand in a lot of pies. Unlike most other people in town, he seems interested in many different areas. He's the kind of person who can approach a problem from a lot of different angles. In short, he's an excellent partner to bounce ideas off of and work out a solution to a stubborn problem.
It kind of goes back to something I said in another comment about Willow - she brings out the best in people. She tackles problems and asks help from others in ways that gets their inspiration going. Willow has gone far in Moonbury, and she's got much more ahead of her.
...Matheo. Ohhhhhhhh, Matheo. First of all, obligatory "it's okay to ask for help" reminder that I know he won't take. At least he's taking the time to stop and get necessary supplies before beating his head against the same wall a hundred more times.
I have doubts that this is the flu that's been going around. He's been holed up in his house for days, where would he have gotten it from? It's kinda hard to catch something when you've got your head up your ass avoiding people who care about you. I think he's come down with something else, but I'm probably wrong.
All in all, an excellent interstitial chapter, and I eagerly await the next one. At whatever pace you feel the need to write, of course
YEAH! they're so interesting lol, cause like...... they SEEM like they're intelligent, so what's their deal? I don't plan to delve into them really, at all anymore (I have an idea for a VERY brief and uneventful encounter in a couple chapters, and we'll see how I'm feeling when I get to the Barren Wasteland chapters too) and that's partly why I wanted to bring them up now lol, just so they've at least been acknowledged. It'd be cool to delve into them, though! You should!
"kind of goes back to something I said in another comment about Willow - she brings out the best in people." The in-game 'having to ask people for help' system lends itself well to this little aspect of Willow's arc LOL, and it's been fun to contrast it with Matheo's continued self-isolation (I remember reading more than one person online who just, never met him in-game because he doesn't go into town and they didn't realize his house was down past the rangers' lol, which was another in-game aspect that played into how I decided to go)
And YES LMAO Matheo's a stubborn ass who needs to ask for help, and has for a while, and is now about to be forced to 🥲 As for being sick, he doesn't have anything Significant(tm), just... started as the flu but now much sicker than he or anyone else realizes. Would have been kind of funny/interesting, though, to do something 'mystical' in nature ala Zuko getting sick from choosing to be a good person
