Concerning Fatima's Gollum
I actually really like what Fatima is trying to do with her Golem and I, for one, think it would be really cool if the townspeople learn that they can "summon" beings or entities of their own to fight for them or protect them. I think this would tie into the idea that the Forest creates things based on people's biggest fears. It would be interesting if it could go the other way around as well, and Fatima is just the first one to think to try it.
