[All occurrences (or just some?) of on to -> onto]
(er)The Game Rules:ENDURANCE points fall to zero -> ENDURANCE points fall to zero or below
[so: This relates to all other LW/GS/FW books]
(er)The Game Rules:of your Action Chart. (i.e. if your pencil fell on 4 in the Random Number Table you would write in a COMBAT SKILL of 14.) -> of your Action Chart (i.e. if your pencil fell on 4 in the Random Number Table you would write in a COMBAT SKILL of 14).
(er)The Game Rules:of your Action Chart. (i.e. if your pencil fell on the number 6 on the Random Number Table you would have 26 ENDURANCE points.) -> of your Action Chart (i.e. if your pencil fell on the number 6 on the Random Number Table you would have 26 ENDURANCE points).
(er)Map:Kaltersee -> Kaltesee
(er)Map:Anskaven -> Anskavern
(er)Rules for Combat:This process of combat continues until ENDURANCE points of either the enemy or Lone Wolf are reduced to zero, ... If the enemy is dead, Lone Wolf proceeds but with his ENDURANCE points reduced. -> This process of combat continues until the ENDURANCE points of either the enemy or Lone Wolf are reduced to zero or below, ... If the enemy is dead, Lone Wolf proceeds but with his ENDURANCE points possibly reduced.
(er)Rules for Combat:at which point the one with the zero score is declared dead. -> at which point that combatant is declared dead.
(er)Ill 4:Magician's Guild -> Magicians' Guild [so: maybe?]
[jb: fix it]
(er)1:Kaltersee -> Kaltesee
(er)12:normal Items -> normal items
(er)16:separate Items -> separate items
(er)20:realise -> realize
(er)21, 43, 112, 117, 121, 212, 226, 331:Meal -> meal [Pike: Normally the word "Meal" is capitalised, however in Book 3 Section 8 it isn't. I realise that book 3 is a bit different since you don't have to eat meals from your backpack while you have your sledge but see for example Section 331 where a meal from your sledge *is* capitalised. So it seems like there is some inconsistency there.]
(er)44:mystery to me, I -> mystery to me. I [Scott Ferguson]
[jb: fix it]
(er)55:hand holds -> handholds [IK]
(er)56:that unspeakable wretch is -> that unspeakable wretch, is [Scott Ferguson]
[jb: fix it]
(er)56:Magician's Guild -> Magicians' Guild [so: maybe?]
[jb: fix it]
(er)57:potholes -> pot-holes [IK: as in the PAMoS]
(er)67:The Gods be praised
(er)77:Graveweed -> graveweed [ik: it cannot be picked up in this section; cf. the equivalent changes in 01fftd]
(er)78:fight the creature to death -> fight the creature to the death [OF]
(er)88:Viad glacier -> Viad Glacier [AY]
(er)104, 127, 309:this Item -> this item
(er)116:Vial of Laumspur -> vial of Laumspur
(er)119:eight Items -> eight items
(er)119, 223:1 Item -> 1 item
(er)119:2 Items -> 2 Items
(er)119:3 Items -> 3 items
(er)128:The Gods be praised
(er)132:Unless you have just eaten a Meal -> Unless you have just eaten [so: The Barbarians' meal you may have eaten was not a Backpack Item.]
(er)143, 314:head first -> head-first
(er)146:as crevasse -> as the crevasse [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007]
(er)160:This sturdy breed are . . . and make -> This sturdy breed is . . . and they make
[jb: agreed]
(er)160:If you have the Kai Discipline of Hunting, turn to 204. If you have the Kai Discipline of Animal Kinship, turn to 318. If you wish to leave the tent and attack the Baknar, turn to 78.
[BK: The way it's written, turning to 204 and 318 are mandatory choices if you have Hunting or Animal Kinship, respectively. That makes the phrase "If you wish to leave the tent" odd because you can only take that choice if it's your only choice.]
[jb: Change it to "Otherwise, leave the tent and attack the Baknar by turning to 78."]
[so, jb: The "more" suggestion is brilliant.]
(er)160, 273:This sturdy breed are native to Kalte and make ideal -> This sturdy breed is native to Kalte and they make ideal
(er)170:My thanks Kai Lord -> My thanks, Kai Lord
[jb: fix it]
(er)172:He is wrapped in -> He is rapt in [LM]
[jb: fix it]
(er)176:You are very hungry and must soon eat a Meal -> You are very hungry and must soon eat [so: The Barbarians' meal you may shortly eat is not a Backpack Item.]
(er)211:-2 to 3 -> -2-3 [so: cf. Section 155]
[jb: It would certainly conform to other usage better, but since our HTML doesn't properly render an endash, I can see where the original would be less confusing. Go ahead and change it.]
(er)223:8 Items -> eights items
(er)223:Pack -> Backpack
(er)227:barely perceptible, hieroglyphs -> barely perceptible hieroglyphs
(er)227:If you decided to press them both together -> If you decide to press them both together
(er)252:Loi-Kymar bridges the moat with creepers and joins you on the platform. [jc: If you arrive here from section 213, the bridge of herbs is still intact, however it is difficult to solve, maybe footnote?]
[tp: with creepers -> with more creepers [That sort of implies a meaning in either case: if his first bridge of creepers was destroyed, he makes more; if it wasn't, he adds more to reinforce his first one (since an old man probably wants a more stable creeper-bridge than a young Kai Lord).]]
(er)257:your direction alerted no -> your direction, alerted no
(er)265:the unfortunate creatures who have entered -> the unfortunate creatures that have entered
(er)272:cone of frost hurtles from its tip -> cone of frost hurtles from the rod's tip [sf: this prevents the pronoun 'its' from referring back to the 'mass of creepers' instead of 'the rod' which it should refer to ] [Scott Ferguson]
[jb: fix it]
(er)273:This sturdy breed are . . . and make -> This sturdy breed is . . . and they make
[jb: fix it]
(er)348:there are a network of caves -> there is a network of caves
(er)350:Magician's Guild -> Magicians' Guild [so: maybe?]
[jb: fix it]
(er)350:You are the avenger of his crimes and it is you who cast -> You are the avenger of his crimes, and it is you who casts [Scott Ferguson]
[jb: fix it]
(er)350:Vonotar the traitor -> Vonotar the Traitor [Scott Ferguson]
[jb: fix it]
(er)Illustrations 1-20:Add period to the end of each caption.
(er)Combat Rules Summary:This is when ENDURANCE points of either character fall to 0. -> This is when ENDURANCE points of either character falls to 0 or below.
[so: This relates to all other LW/GS/FW books]
(er)Combat Rules Summary:Pick number from Random-> Pick a number from the Random
(er)Combat Rules Summary:Turn to Combat -> Turn to the Combat
(er)Combat Rules Summary:to random number -> to the random number
(er)Combat Rules Summary:when ENDURANCE -> when the ENDURANCE
(er)Combat Rules Summary:ignored, -> ignored;

Rejected
(er)51:If you are brave enough to enter a cell full of Doomwolves, turn to 285. -> If you are brave enough to enter a cell full of Doomwolves, turn to 137.
[jc: IMHO In section 76, if you have Hunting or Animal Kinship, you have to turn here, there you will find out that the wolves are sleeping, and you could attack and turn to 137 (where you kill two sleeping wolves).]
[tp, jb: Disagree. The fight you get without Animal Kinship is much, much harder than the four fights you get with it, put together. Another factor is that section 285 gives you a chance to escape.]
(er)76:you can open the door and attack the Doomwolves by turning to 137. -> you can open the door and attack the Doomwolves by turning to 285.
[jc: IMHO if you have Hunting or Animal Kinship, you have to turn to 51, there you will find out that the wolves are sleeping, and you could attack and turn to 137 (where you kill two sleeping wolves). If you don't have the skills, you could turn to 285, where you have to fight all three wolves and the barbarian.]
[tp, jb: Disagree. The fight you get without Animal Kinship is much, much harder than the four fights you get with it, put together. Another factor is that section 285 gives you a chance to escape.]
(er)102:strange tentacled -> strange, tentacled [jb: I'm not super confident in this, but isn't this an example of cumulative adjectives? For example, it's not quite the same to say "tentacled, strange creature", right? http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/commas-with-adjectives]
(er)116:healing Potion -> Potion of Laumspur
(er)164, 200Akraa'Neonor's CS is 22 if LW attacks the undead creature with the Sommerswerd (164) and CS 23 if not (section #200)
[JB: There's no real reason that stats must be consistent. Lone Wolf's ultimate god (Dever) can be capricious. Who are we to question?]
(er)329:There are three of these VICIOUS creatures -> There are three of these VENOMOUS creatures [OF: The Kalkoth are so deadly that a single point of damage will kill you, and there are three of them! I see people here on PA complaining that Animal Kinship is a worthless skill. Wouldn't it be nice if it at least gave a little warning here to the reader of just how deadly these guys are?]
[JB: "Vicious" should be a good enough deterrent]
