Damn dude LOL

Great work.. I'll take care of these edits!

Chris.. I'll send you the updated copy when I'm done.

X Gold in the Hills, 6. The Chief, boxed text, last work supposed to be "woman"?
HMM.. WOKAN? I don't think it's supposed to be woman.. Maybe its a goblin word for shaman? I'm just going to change it to Shaman.

- Taming the Flames, Map, move title to top of map and remove extraneous spacing between the words
This looked fine on the ODT I pulled down? You are referring to the title that says 'Map of the Burrow'?

x Night of the Necromancer, 6. THE STUDENTS OF NECROMANCY, Garrett, last paragraph, correct spelling of "prevent"
LOL Pervent made me laugh.

[LibraryLass]

I seem to remember seeing "Wokani" for humanoid magic-users in BECMI and RC, maybe that's what he was thinking of. No idea where Mentzer got the word either, for that matter.

[dymondy2k]

Yeah I googled Wokan to see if I would get a hit and all it came up with was a chinese company but Wokani does return some hits on witches based in Mystara.

21. GIANT BEE NEST:

"20 to 40 g.p." = "20 to 40 gp" FIX: Should be (1d3+1) x 10 gp (20 to 40), though I would be inclined to modify this to 1d4 x 10 gp (10 to 40 gp) just to make things easier all around.

"1d4 x 10 gp" is far better.

[jdn2006]

There are a couple of "Magic User" rather than "Magic-Users" in places.

Ok I think it was when I opened the ODT in Word (didn't have access to LibreOffice at the time); just checked in Libre and it is indeed fine there.

Y'know what?

I'm stupid.

Nobody ever pointed out to me the fact that the "vampiric" effect (of the sword of smiting in Merilla's Magic Tower) only applies to energy-draining monsters, and apparently I missed it every single time I read it. Until tonight, as I was getting ready to submit it for inclusion in a supplement.

Is everyone afraid to point out when I don't know what I'm talking about? Gah.

So forget everything I said before. The adventure is fine as is.

We need to review it some more, and see if there is anything that really needs revision; if not, I should start hammering the layout into shape for publication.

Translation: This could see print before Christmas.

[dymondy2k]

Funny because that's exactly how I created it in my scenario... maybe subconsciously I knew what you meant..

Okay, so I'm working my way through R5...

First, the Eihort module is now "Vault of Thaire" and contains the Scroll of Kalogi (and potentially, Kalogi himself). Still an anagram, but I scrambled the names of both characters together first.

dymondy2k applied chiisu81's changes to the document (which was released as R4) but apparently missed JD's corrections. So I've applied them, as follows:

Shepherds of Pineford *************
The Ruined Temple - hit point boxes for 1 skeleton. 12 total?

Good catch. Fixed.

Merilla's Magic Tower*********
TOWER LEVEL 4. - malformed hit point boxes in the PDF (likely hidden characters or non-standard hit point box that looks okay but isn't the same as the others)

Hmm. I'm not seeing this. Are all the boxes malformed?

The Zombraire's Estate: ********
8e. SECRET ROOM: 1-3 = 1d3, 2-8 = 2d4

Fixed.

9. GRAVEYARD. "1-6 of the" = "1d6 of the"

Looks like someone else fixed this one before I got to it.

Insect Valhalla: ********

21. GIANT BEE NEST:

"20 to 40 g.p." = "20 to 40 gp"

Fixed.

Island in River **********

"Base Movement, Outdoor, Per 10 minute turn" table - originally this was a generic module, and now it needs a column for the Basic Fantasy standard (1/3 the base movement rate) or perhaps convert the whole table to Basic Fantasy.

Dropped the table, added a paragraph giving a "proper" movement rate and guidance for terrain adjustments.

5. SKELETONS:
"* a silver necklace worth 10 - 60 gp (1d6 x 10)" = "* a silver necklace worth 1d6 x 10 gp"
* a gold necklace worth 50 - 300 gp (1d6 x 50)" = "* a gold necklace worth 1d6 x 50 gp"

Actually, these aren't so bad, but I've gone ahead and changed them.

Wandering Monsters - needs to be reformatted or redone.

Reformatted.

Giant Frogs (3) (note the space after 1d4+1)(AC 13, HD 2, #At 1 tongue or bite, Grab or 1d4+1 , Mv

Fixed.

Okay, so... I'll be uploading R5 shortly.
