Hi all

As before, this is the list-only post. Much shorter than usual, since many of the reported errors were clearly typos in the RH.

1) http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/06tkot/sect17.htm
There's no option here for people who have 1 or 0 gold, even those who have already been 
thrown out for having no gold. Possibly worth a footnote? There's a list elsewhere of 
stuff that a gambler would buy off you - possibly repeat that here, and add "while 
you must pay if you can, if you can't, you can assume that the barman takes pity on you 
and lets you sleep on the floor of the dorm/captain pays/you sneak in with your basic Kai 
skills/rocks fall, everyone dies" ...or somesuch.

Is it possible to be so hard up for cash that you have less than 2 GCs here?

2) http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/06tkot/sect158.htm
"Together with the Silver Key that Gwynian gave you (mark this as a Special Item 
that you keep in your pocket),"

That's the second silver key in my Special Items. Can't remember where I got 
the first, though. Possibly they should have different names? Or are they 
deliberately interchangeable?(In truth, I believe this silver key is an 
unavoidable item, and all roads lead through this passage, in which case this 
is a moot point anyway)

This is the Silver Key from Kalte (Book 3 Section 3; should be used in Section 303, if you get there). I cannot think of any easy way to fix this other than adding a footnote to discard the Silver Key (Special Item) at the end of Book 3 (or the start of Book 6, in the Magnakai series).

3) Also, the Brass whistle: backpack item? It doesn't say, so I must assume so. 
Though this goes back to the last brass whistle I picked up, from around 
someone's neck, which was arguably a special item, and which you've now stated 
definitely is one in a footnote. I'm assuming that in this case, they're 
deliberately named the same, so that you have two ways of getting the item, so 
maybe they're carried the same way?

I'd imagine we could just copy the footnote we added to Book 4: "The Brass Whistle is a Special Item held on a chain around your neck."

Most of the rest were obviously in need of fixing or clearly correct. Fixed or rejected as such.
