(196) Re
placed the second and third occurrences of ‘Argazad’ with ‘Aarnak’ — surely the naval base (Argazad) doesn't supply itself.

(200) Replaced ‘elite’ with ‘élite’. Replaced ‘Principalin or more’ with ‘Principalin or higher’. Replaced ‘Scion-kai or more’ with ‘Scion-kai or higher’.

‘The tip of a thin, snaky limb rises from the abyss and glides slowly across the ground towards your legs. Its skin is smooth and dark, like black velvet, and it moves with alarming speed.
‘Suddenly the black tendril retreats’, copied and adapted from Section 103. Without this extensive revision, mention of the black tendril appears from nowhere, creating a large continuity issue.
(227) Replaced ‘over, then’ with ‘over, and then’. Replaced ‘guards in the watchtower, or the’ with ‘guards in the watchtower or the’.
(229) Replaced ‘gods’ with ‘Gods’. Replaced ‘handshake, then’ with ‘handshake, and then’. Replaced ‘Kaltesee’ with ‘Kaltersee’.
(230) Addressing the issue of what COMBAT SKILL bonus the Dagger of Vashna or Helshezag should confer for this fight is rather problematic. On the one hand, use of the Dagger of Vashna in combat against Darklord Kraagenskûl adds ‘7 points to your COMBAT SKILL for the duration of the fight, owing to the power of the Dagger of Vashna when used against a Darklord of Helgedad’ (cf. Section 171). Similarly, Helshezag will also add ‘7 points [to your COMBAT SKILL] when used against a Darklord of Helgedad’ (cf. Section 240).
However, things are complicated by the battle with Darklord Gnaag in a few sections where the text clearly states: ‘The power of the weapon you wield is greatly intensified when used within the walls of Helgedad. Owing to its increased power, add 12 to your COMBAT SKILL for the duration of the fight’ (cf. Section 88).
It seems that the author intended to keep the +12 COMBAT SKILL bonus a surprise for the final, climactic battle, but this leads to inconsistency with the battle against Darklord Taktaal presented here. We suggest that you use the +12 COMBAT SKILL bonus against Darklord Taktaal due to the power of the weapon you are wielding.
