Wright" I MEANT to put "Your new Lord and Master: Charles A. Wright". So if everyone could keep that in mind, that would be great. feel free to delete this, Oracle. I'm just feeling silly right now.

Posts: 160 Nov 3 03 9:43 AM Necromantic Writer Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Okay, here are some glaring goofs I noticed upon reading the printed verserion of the book. [edited by thegrandoracle 12/02/03 - corrections placed in the official errata thread] Also, not all the ranger and monk stats are quite right because our version of the 3.5 rules was slightly different than what was finally published. Sorry. Easy enough to correct, though. Okay, now it's your turn. W. Kenower
Eyvindr	Level 2 of the map missing at least 2 doors?	#5	[-]
Posts: 1 Nov 4 03 10:05 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This is a touch of guesswork as I don't have the map handy, but there seems to be no way to get from the area of level 2 you descend into, to the rest of the level. If my memory is correct I think it looks like there should be a door going out of 2-5(?) (the little group of goblins that you run into at the bottom of the stairs) into the vertical (on the map, can't remember if it is N/S or E/W )hallway and then there should be another door directly across from that one leading to the sentry area for the other goblin group. And then on a purely typographical level, one of the NPC's stat blocks has the skill Hump +21 (should be jump I would think)

Underdarker	Doors	#10	[-]
Posts: 160 Nov 5 03 9:36 AM Necromantic Writer Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes, sadly this level is missing a couple doors. Area 2-5 should have a door on the southern wall in the esatern corner. Likewise, there should be a door oppisite THAT door in the same passage. There should be a secret door in Area 2-65H leading to Area 2-66. I THINK that's it.

Weezoh	Assassin Vine	#11	[-]
Posts: 35 Nov 8 03 10:00 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Something I noticed as I'm prepping my mondo-spreadsheet Tracker thingie, on P 175 the Assassin Vine has listed Cold & Fire resistance (2o [sic]), it should be Cold & Fire resistance 10. Also, P 184 has troll's full attack as Claw & Bite, but should be Claws x2 and bite. -- Weezoh

Posts: 12033 Nov 15 03 1:27 AM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've noticed quite a few fairly minor errors of a typographical nature thus far in my readthrough; nothing that prevents me from understanding, but they do stand out. Like on page 19, in the Layout and Design for the sewers, it mentions them being accessed by "shoots" instead of "chutes." Or on page 10, first paragraph, "The inn of favor for the wealthiest merchants and traders as well [as] visiting royalty, it boasts 40 rooms all complete [with] four-poster, canopy beds, duck down pillows, fireplaces, and everburning candles." The two words in brackets above are missing. Anyway, since they don't really prevent the understanding of the adventure, I won't bother making systematic editing notes of stuff like that. On to specifics: page 27: Toucise, or Tousice (spelled both ways multiple times on the page) is listed as CR 3 instead of CR 5; his CR is correctly listed in the NPC appendix. Where's the NG Ranger?

Posts: 35 Nov 15 03 8:44 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well the typographical errors don't really bother me much, the only reason I mentioned the 2o thing is that I would have read that as 20. instead of 10. A typographical error that changes the game play mechanics should be noted. -- Weezoh
Damien the Bloodfeaster	Elan Kanto & the Church of Jamboor	#14	[-]
Posts: 12033 Nov 18 03 11:25 AM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Elan Kanto is described as a priestess of the evil death god Da-Jin, but is masquerading as a priest of Jamboor, in one of the early city adventures. What I do not understand is, why are the public areas of her temple decorated for the worship of a death god, instead of a god of magic? This would seem to belie the masquerade Elan is attempting. My fix will be to change the descriptions of all the main floor public areas to match a god of magic, and leave the stuff in the basement as is. But I thought I should point this out here, since I could see this tripping up a DM who isn't careful in his preparations. Where's the NG Ranger?

Underdarker	Death	#15	[-]
Posts: 160 Nov 18 03 12:28 PM Necromantic Writer Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Jamboor was supposed to be the god of Death and Magic, but somehow the Death part got left out. Not Death as in Evil Death, but Death as in it's a fact of life so why not worship it? Like that. Anyway, just add death to it's description and it works out fine. W. Kenower

Posts: 12033 Nov 18 03 5:37 PM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	In other words, the equivalent of Wee Jas. I kinda wondered, but since Death wasn't listed in the domains for Jamboor, I decided he was more like Boccob. I wonder how that got changed. Where's the NG Ranger?

Posts: 12033 Nov 25 03 3:30 PM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	p. 116, areas 2-12. First, area 2-13 is named 2-12 in the text, but this is an obvious goof. More importantly, at the end of area 2-13, it mentions one may "swim the quarter-mile channel to the bay outside Endhome." But on the wilderness map, Barakus is located a good 20-25 miles from the coast, and much further than that from Endhome! I get the impression that this is a holdover from an earlier draft, when the Lost City was located much closer to the coastline. Where's the NG Ranger?

Posts: 176 Dec 8 03 10:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	In area I5 it states that the heart of darkness is in room 2-14, In fact 2-14 has the executioners blade and 2-18 has the heart of darkness. So for anyone who asks, well there it is! thank you for releasing such a cool book.
Dorn	Area 17M Silver Golem Stats?	#20	[-]
Posts: 12 Dec 11 03 6:57 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The Stats for the Silver Golem seem to be missing in the Monster appendix. There is a reference to the stats in Area 17M ( P. 38 ) . EDIT Sorry I just found the Statblock myself.
