Hi

For simplicity, I've collected all the reported issues here. I've fixed in xml all the (ne) issues, Rejected one (with reasoning), and added one of my own. I think we can go ahead and fix all but 168 (which might require a footnote), though a second opinion on 325 and the exact wording of the fix for 346 would be helpful.

(er) The Story So Far: "thirty-three years after the First Order of the Kai were almost wiped out..." were -> was [ao, dd] (er) The Story So Far: "he pointed to a landlocked realm east of the great River Storn." West. The landlocked realm [Eldenora] lies on the west bank of Storn, so it should read "west of the great River Storn." [ao] (er) 168: [ss: it says "Rouf rushes into the cabin to untie his kin..." however, no matter which option you follow in this section, you end up being the first to go into the cabin, for example, Section 49: "... they see Rouf following behind you." You can't even say that Rouf went in, untied them, then came back out again, because he would have warned his kin about your attire.] (er) 174: maybe change the comma at the end of the third choice to an ellipsis (er) 226: (two changes) horde and, as of Vandyan himself -> horde, and as for Vandyan himself
(er)    325:    Paragraph break before "For Sommerlund and the Kai!"
(er) 346: "you [...] give thanks to Ishir that the riders were not armed with more cavalry crossbows. Bor pistols are notoriously inaccurate..." -> "you [...] give thanks to Ishir that the riders were not armed with [the] more [accurate] cavalry crossbow." [so: Prefer: '...armed with more accurate cavalry crossbows.']

FIXED (ne)
(ne)    The Story So Far:       a link to the map might be helpful here
(ne) 24, 52, 73, 84, 92, 126, 160, 217, 264, 277, 282, 304: footnotes should read "their unique properties". (cf. 75)
(ne)    148:    the numbered list should be marked-up with <ol>...</ol>
(ne) 299: Footnote could state definitely that this is a reptilian opponent (cf. Section 143) instead of "apparently".
(ne)    330:    hang dawn -> hang down

REJECTED
(ne) 182: [ss: "If your Kai Weapon is ‘Alema’ or ‘Kaistar’, you may add the appropriate bonus gained from their unique properties." My inclination was to then try and find the original table of these Kai weapons. Granted that people may be noting the benefits of their weapon in their action charts, but I thought that perhaps a link back to the Kai weapon table would be useful.] [so: When you're playing, you only need to remember the special abilities of your own Kai Weapon, not all of them.]
