Wyn is a land bound mermaid and Quintzy is a partially shapeshifting goblin. Both live in a town of heroes and when a competition for an additional guild leader starts, they are forced to work together more closely.
- The setting was very D&D inspired. A city where the Heroes Guild causes trouble for it's citizens. I liked how the heroes weren't necessarily the good guys in this narrative and that it showed the impact of the guild's activities.
- The disability representation was pretty good and although it was fantasy based, there were clear analogues for real life conditions. It was great to see how well this was handled.
- I enjoyed how the two main characters interacted though it was very dialogue heavy. It would have been nice to see more nonverbal communication and some descriptions.
Short, fun and great for those who like light-hearted D&D adjacent media.
