I loved seeing so many in one place interacting. What a great chapter.
I hope theres more leveling and the door to the goblins to get fixed and opened. Ive been waiting so long for poor numbtongue. I guess his pyrite/reiss development has to get tidied up. Maybe Numbtongue becomes a goblin king? I always thought that would be Rags but all I can do is guess. Maybe goblin lords/kings just attract too much attention and theyre better off not accepting that character change like Erin did with her general status. Speaking of, did Erin keep any of those skills or did she reject them when she said shut up? I havent heard about them since so i assume they all were rejected.
I'm hoping rags sees the trap of lord/king and goes the way of a light side tremborog and just rules her city of goblins. If she can survive the culling of the wyverns she has a good shot at just building a goblin nation in a place that most are scared to travel.
It's hilarious that you said at the beginning of your stream that you just weren't feeling it and hadn't even prepared notes. If this is how you handle shooting from the hip, Pirate, then there is nothing to worry about. Well done. Rather enjoyable chapter. Not the best chapter, because obviously not every chapter can be, but it was fascinating to see all of the character interactions and the opening of future plotlines.
Loved it. I think calling it an interlude is an injustice to it. No it isn't as momentous as many of the recent chapters, but it is dealing with the fallout from the events in the previous chapter and includes some character growth for our main protagonist.
It was a good interlude, the previous serious chapter was great but it felt suffocating because so much chaos happened and it wasn’t Erin-chaos. This chapter was needed as a nice breather.
Great story as always. I'm always amazed by your ability to perform on a schedule and still put out great material.
Erin should ban the pink lady and her friends. Send a message to the 3 of them informing them that they're not welcome nor are their servants and associates. Even without the skill, a ban should prevent them from using the rules of hospitality to force entry. And I'd have brought the new fire to the Pink Lady's city and pretended I was Nero.
I don't know about an interlude but it really did feel like the beginning of a new volume. Payoff payoff payoff payoff and oh hello, "introductions". A certain Gnoll Drake combo remind me of Croup and Vandemar from Neverwhere... Or actually more like the two Northmen from Joe Abercrombies short story Tough Times All Over. Deep and Shallow.. they were also in Heroes. Great interplay.
When Belgrade saw ceria I think it was Love at first sight
I think Belgrade was still love struck by Lady Wuvren from last chapter when Ceria and the gang arrived, not that he was love struck by Ceria.
NO not another interlude!
wait.... that's a lot of A plot for a B plot interlude.... also did that emply a she met a surviving god?
eggs? what eggs?
I think eggs should be a running joke in TWI. After the last few chapters and the confusion in the comment sections when Magnolia mentioned eggs, any time I see eggs mentioned I'll immediately remember the bad eggs and the horns.
Thank you!
Yo pirate you should look into voice to text software to look at giving your hands a break or just partially lowering your work load on them
The work spent on typing would instead go into fixing all the typos instead. Not sure if that's any healthier.
3AM, might as well read this before I sleep, thants! (That's thanks but with ants)
