Errata / The Cauldron Of Fear

 

09: The Cauldron of Fear

Pending
[Javier: I find it surprising that, after having found the Platinum Amulet in LW #7 you don't get to use it in LW #9 even when exposed to fire (right after getting out of the Cauldron there is one situation..) to prevent the damage. This thread on the forum [1] that suggests that this amulet is "fake" and that you get a real one in the GM series. Maybe it is worthwhile adding a footnote in section 48 (encounter against Zakhan Kimah) and in section 59 (house on fire) that the amulet does *not* protect you against the damage there?]
