Your right. I expected Croaker to buy it in SL, too. In fact, i was
kind of hoping he would. But what he did do, i thought was much
better.
Yeah, it was kind of ballsy for Cook to kill Goblin at the end of WS
and then One Eye at the beginning of SL.
I'd rather be drunk

I could be wrong, but wasn't One-Eye killed on the last pages of WS?
His death mentioned almost in passing by Sleepy.
Having Croaker go into more details at the start of Soldiers Live was
great, but we already knew that poor One-Eye wasn't going to make it.

I just got this from my Czech source:
"the meaning of Jilmac and Skret you want to know, eh... It is
familiar translation Elm is tree named here Jilm and Elmo as
derivation from Elm is Jilmac."
"Likewise Goblin translated as Skret - there is a bit difficult
transposition in the process of translation. We have word
Skret (ugly, mostly bad, small) and Skritek (mostly nice, small
fairy character). I have found sprite, fairy, elf, goblin under
item Skritek under my vocalbulary and due Goblin is not nice or
plesant guy so he has been translated as Skret..."
The Czech seem to have done what I would have expected to be done with
Goblin. But Elmo named after an Elm tree is funny.
