Hi David

2) In book 9 you can find Vial of Blue Pills and if you examine it
closely the text on section 29 tells you "Record both doses of Sabito on
your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a> as a single Backpack Item." But
later on you are asked "If you have a Vial of Blue Pills, ...". I think
this could be unified to mention Vial of Blue Pills on sect.29 as well.

Interesting stuff! I'd suggest the following changes:

(er) 09tcof 289: a Vial of Blue Pills -> some Sabito [so: Or, "a dose of Sabito", but that sounds more like you need to see a doctor! Credit David KubeÄka [DK] ]

3) On 11/146 LW can take Baylon<ch.apos/>s Bough Fungi but on 13/16 he
is asked if he possesses Baylon<ch.apos/>s Fungi. Could that be unified
as well?

(er) 11tpot 146: Baylon's Bough Fungi -> Baylon's Fungi [so: To agree with 13tplor Section 16. Credit David KubeÄka [DK] ]

Or:

4) 14/329 mentions Statue of Sl<ch.ucirc/>tar wheras evrywhere else it
is referred to as Statuette of Sl<ch.ucirc/>tar.

(er) 14tcok 239: Statue of Sl<ch.ucirc/>tar -> Statuette of Sl<ch.ucirc/>tar. [so: For consistency with everywhere else in the book. Credit David KubeÄka [DK] ]

5) Choice on 15/109 is conditioned by having a Green Key and only Green
Key which LW can ever get is in two places in book 14. On sect.76 it is
a backpack item and on sect.276 it is a special item. Moreover on 15/304
you are told "Quickly you take it [the key] from your Backpack,...". I
doubt that those two keys in book 14 aren't the same items. Moreover I
suspect the author have forgotten to let LW obtain the Green Key
somewhere in book 15 because it seems highly improbable that one key
could be used on so much geographically distant places.

(er) 14tcok 276: mark it on your Action Chart as a Special Item which you carry in your tunic pocket -> mark it on your Action Chart as a Backpack Item [so: Keys are always Backpack Items. Credit David KubeÄka [DK] ]

With respect to the distance between the key's location and its use, maybe the Drakkarim have very few types of locks, and this key will open all the "green locks" across the Drakkarim nations! ;-)

6) On 18/277 LW finds "Pouch containing 2 Potions of Laumspur" but it is
not mentioned what are its effects on Endurance Points which is
otherwise always the case.

(er) 18dotd 277: [so: Add: "(each restores 4 ENDURANCE points)" cf. 15tdc Sections 10, 213, 344. Credit David KubeÄka [DK] ]


Respecting the flowchart, would the following tweaks be doable? If not, it's no problem, I just thought I'd ask.

* Add a Key as to what the shortened Disciplines are (it took me a minute or two to work out AnK = Animal Kinship)

* Different colours for Items vs. Disciplines (e.g. Required Item is red; Required Discipline is in green)

* For Sections that return back (e.g. Section 152 -> 181 -> 152 in Book 3) would it be possible to use one arrow with 'dir = "both" ' to keep the flowchart easier to read?

* Maybe keep the zeroes before one and two-digit Section numbers: 006, 083, etc. This makes it easier to search for a specific Section number

These look very good already, though. Great work!
