Hi
Ten errors that will sort out The Jungle of Horrors. In case you're wondering, the eleventh and
final issue from 08tjoh is part of the big list, which I am putting off posting for now. There's
also a second big list--a REALLY big list--which I am also holding off posting. I prefer to get a
few precedents from Jon and extrapolate from that rather than posting >100 errors in one post.
----------
(er) 111, 139, 201, 276, 288 [x2]: on to -> onto
(REJECTED: 63 [opens on to])
(FIXED: 58 [climb onto]; 13, 287 [leap onto];)
-> "By chance, you stumble on to a track that..."
-> "You take the Grey Crystal Ring from the display case and slip it on to the index
finger..."
-> "...casting a phosphorescent light on to the domed ceiling."
-> "...the Ogian army thunders on to the plateau that surrounds the burning town of
Syada."
-> "...you slip from the saddle and crash on to the highway."
-> "...he lifts you carefully back on to your horse."
(er) 13: If you win the combat in four rounds or less, turn to 79. If combat lasts five rounds or
longer, turn to 158 -> If you win the first combat in four rounds or less, turn to 79. If the first
combat lasts five rounds or longer, turn to 158
[jc: Maybe this is a solution to make this section more doable for players starting from this book.
It also make sense, that if LW fights with first Vordak more than 4 turns, the second Vordak could
have time to damage the ship's pressure tank]
(er) 24: It is impossible to continue along the track eastwards -> It is impossible to continue
northwest along the track
[LM: according to the map, Syada lies to the northwest of Tharro (Jan 2007)]
(er) 25: each...are vibrating -> each...is vibrating [LeRoy McSwain, Jan
2007]
-> "...each of the black crystal cubes are vibrating, and..."
(er) 58: eastern Danarg -> western Danarg
[LM: Unless of course the sun sets in the east on Magnamund (Jan 2007)]
[SO: Not sure about this one. It seems to be saying that Lone Wolf is in the regions of the eastern
Danarg. It is a little confusing, though.]
-> "...reaching the top just as the sun is sinking into a sea of scarlet mist that shrouds the
eastern Danarg..."
(ft) 60: If you possess the Sommerswerd
[jfs: Turn to this number if you possess a magical weapon such as the Magic Spear, the Dagger of
Vashna, or the Jewelled Mace. But do not apply the bonuses related to the Sommerswerd detailed in
that section. Note: For consistency with "The Captives of Kaag", in which, you can combat a
Helghast with the Jewelled Mace or the Dagger of Vashna (section 12 -> 330).]
(er) 65: agree a plan -> agree upon a plan [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007]
-> "Quietly you agree a plan of action."
(ft) 74: [Jan Charvát: Maybe you may use the CS bonus from Silver Helm there, as it would be
"magical effect" rather than physical. Maybe also there can be used Grey Crystal Ring (with +3 CS -
compared to the book 11) Also, it is uncertain, why LW have to reduce his CS to 15, rather than to
his basic CS]
-> "For this psychic combat reduce your current COMBAT SKILL score to 15...[y]ou are unable to make
use of any Special Items, weapons, or Backpack Items."
(er) 89, 280, 299: a-piece -> apiece
-> "The fare's 40 Lune a-piece..."
-> "One item a-piece and you can continue on your way..."
-> "The fare's 40 Lune a-piece..."
(er) 242: If you possess any of these Special Items and wish to swap it -> eliminate the final 'it'
because the antecedent 'any' does not necessarily refer to a single Item [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007]
