Well, then I'm blaming this on the artist. 
Yup, mistakes.Franka wrote:Typos and grammar, agree or disagree:
"If they actually buy large quantities of things this times,"
should be "this time,"
"Is it just my impression, or it's more guarded than the south gate?"
should be "or is it"
"So maybe should reconsider our relationship once again and..."
should be "maybe you should"
"Look, Krimm might be still too weak to give you a beating."
Bad sentence structure, should be "might still be"
"Uh, I'd really wouldn't recommend you do that."
should be "I really wouldn't"
Intentionally wrong"To the winners goes the spoils!"
should be "go the spoils!"
All of them good finds."So there's really an giant ant nest down in the sewers."
should be "a giant ant"
"Yes, and thanks to that, we can move very quickly from a place to another."
should be "from one place"
"Want to sparry again?"
should be "Want to spar again?"
"Did you forget? you must give me a third"
Missing capitalization of "You"
"But he certainly can't have drunken all that wine alone."
should be "drunk all that"
"This is why the world know allies and enemies."
should be "the world knows"
"And I drank a haste potion that would let me move much faster than anyone else's!"
should be "anyone else!"
"I couldn't say a word, so the Grand Mogul continued to speak as he looked at the amulet around my chest."
Myabe nitpicking, but I'd say "around my neck." or "on my chest." Unless the amulet is fastened around the chest somehow.
"Estemmed ladies and sirs, give a big cheer to the Brothers Ironmonger,"
should be "Esteemed"
"What! How is possible that you knew about my plan!?"
should be "How is it possible"
"One of the largest nation in the world."
should be "nations"
"Shacklesplit will have definitely plenty of entertainment for us."
Bad sentence structure, should be "will definitely have"
"Trust me on this, Jariel: If you asked those questions to some other Bloodskin but me, you'd at least have lost a few bodyparts, if not your life."
Reads badly. Maybe "to any other"; "you'd have lost at least"; Also "bodyparts" is two words, "body parts"
"So that ship should be still in the cave?"
Bad sentence structure, should be "should still be"
"New Quest Pride of Lukoss" yada yada " stuck in the hidden cave nearby Shacklesplit"
should be "near Shacklesplit"
"There are dinghys on the sloop that took us to the is- to Lavastorm."
should be "dinghies"
"The entire crew on two dinghys?"
"dinghies" again.
"Shouldn't be more?"
should be "Shouldn't there be more?"
Again, intentionally screwed grammar. Chalassa is agitated."I'll tell you what kind of woman exactly you've decided to love forever."
Bad sentence structure, should be "exactly what kind of woman"
No, since "direction" refers to a place here and not an actual direction."Seeking to open a gateway to the home of the gods, they accidentally opened a gateway directly into the opposite direction"
should be "directly in the opposite"
Yeah, probably."Each of them would promise fealty to a demon lord, and then return into this world to serve their dark purposes."
should be "return to this world"
Yup, legitimate errors."But... it's not going to have an happy ending!"
should be "a happy ending!"
"Wait! Why we don't visit again Lavastorm?"
Bad sentence structure, should be "Why don't we visit Lavastorm again?"
"I know a secret area nearby the island."
should be "near the island"
"Well, Gonzalo said Captain Starrad seemed to have been very proud of his commando."
should be "of his command."
"It is. And dwarves aren't know for liking sea travel."
should be "known for liking"
"My own people know of that risk, which is why they send out travelers such as I."
should be "such as me."
"I fact, if I cut her open right here and now, I doubt I'd find a heart in her chest!"
should be "In fact,"
"A pirate, and an old friend of mine. But before you get any funny ideas, he'll be probably out hunting."
Bad sentence structure, should be "he'll probably be out hunting."
"New Quest Save Chalassa!" "Save Chalassa's sould by defeating the Demon Lord"
should be "Chalassa's soul"
"So we're not only highwaymen, we're also drinkers!"
should be "we're also drunkards!"
"We can hit them from distance without any retaliation."
should be "from a distance"
"Guys - get yourself together."
should be "get yourselves together."
Code: Select all
"Oh, and you'll also have to keep an eye on one of the skeletons. Don't want it falling into our backs."
should be "falling on our backs."Code: Select all
Skill description of Kick: "Non damaging attack that hits single target and pushes it on the back row,"
should be "that hits a single target" "into the back row,"
You finally get to use an "into"!
"Can we now go, please? I think I have something in my eye..."
Bad sentence structure, should be "Can we go now, please?"Nah, wrong meaning. Rather, the sentence should begin: "I also wouldn't want anything to do...""I wouldn't want anything to do with someone who's lost her honor as well."
should be "lost her honor either."
Nice!"Nothing you can do will ever make good the evil you brought."
maybe "the evil you wrought." or "the evil you wreaked." as some would say.
Sharp eyes, you"Dingirra. These devils!"
should be "Those devils!"
"People here will be glad about each strong arm that helps them in their struggle."
should be "glad for each"
"Since I didn't want to alert the Dingirrans of our presence, I decided to delay our attack until they were gone again."
should be "alert the Dingirrans to our presence,"
"A single of these monsters could tear apart a dozen trained warriors,"
should be "a single one of"
"And from among the warriors, we will sacrifice so many until the number of those from the Bloodied Boar is less than half our own number."
Reads really badly. Suggestion: "As for the warriors of the Bloodied Boar, we will sacrifice them until there are less than half our own number remaining."
"And I intend to win them. It's my best chance of earning a chance for freedom."
should be "a chance at freedom."
"Sending her to spy on the Empire has been a bad idea in the first place."
should be "was a bad idea"
"And curiosity killed the cat, as they're saying."
should be "as they say."
"Here. Those comes in pair."
should be "Those come in a pair."
"Wow nice swords!"
umm, at least put a comma in there, "Wow, nice swords!"
"I forged thinking about of you, so I called them 'Twin Swords'."
should be "I forged them with you in mind, so I've named them 'Twin Swords.'"
"Excellent crraftsman work, as always."
should be "Excellent craftsmanship, as always."
"Well, duh. Of course they fight someone."
Maybe it's just me, but isn't "duh" kind of a modern expression?
"New Quest Consequences Complete Vaelis's personal quest flashback to get a reward."
should be "Vaelis' personal"
Nope, again, an intentional "I", for drama"You there! People of Hesperos! It is I you want, not the people who live here!"
should be "It is me you want,"
This one specifically I'd argue about, since we're worried the skeletons will eat our brains, I didn't think "stabbing" would be a good word.Taleweaver wrote:Or rather: "stabbing us in our backs", which is what was meant.Franka wrote: "Oh, and you'll also have to keep an eye on one of the skeletons. Don't want it falling into our backs."
should be "falling on our backs."
