I can't seem to edit posts after a few moments (see if there is a setting in the admin panel to change this.)

This is the first part of Sarah's quest:

Sarah Windsmoor

(First sentence is fine.)

If so, (add comma after so) would you perhaps be interested in (change spelling to: acquiring) some special potions for me? (add question mark) It will require some traveling, (one l and add comma) and you must be strong enough to handle any unforeseen (change spelling here to add the extra e) events.

(choice dialog is fine)

Are there any areas in particular you'd like checked for errors? Kind of afraid I'll go through and post reports and find out the stuff was already fixed, just not made live yet.

And then I see stuff like the "Southern Planes" which I assume is meant to be "Southern Plains." "Planes" in this case would be like layers of the universe while "plains" would mean like fields, open meadows, grasslands, etc. And I think "plains" is meant in that case, no? Or is it trying to be a play-on words?

As a general point...is it supposed to be "Hero's Rest" or "Heroes Rest?" Seems a similar situation would be "Dog's House" or "Dogs House."

Period at the end of the first sentence goes before the last quotation mark.

Personnel has two n's.

Immediate, not emediate.

Retaliation has one l.

Citizens, not t at the end.

Response, needs an e at the end.

Capital I in the last sentence.

Information "has" been noted for player response. Another I to capitalize.

Thanks I'll fix it right away. And the name is indeed "Heroes Rest" not "Hero's Rest"

Is it not meant to be a possessive version of the word? Maybe you mean "Heroes' Rest?"

"Hero's Rest" would be "The rest that belongs to a hero."

"Heroes' Rest" would be "The rest that belongs to heroes."

"Hero's Journey" and "Heroes' Journey" would be describing a journey that belongs to either a single hero or multiple heroes respectively. "Heroes Journey" would almost be a command/description. Like "Men March." Or "Cows Moo."

Infernal English grammar !!!!

The only consistent thing about English is that it's not consistent ;)

I used to know a bit of Spanish, rather rusty on it these days. But man it made a lot more sense!

Well atleast it's done now - atleast I have changed the name VARIOUS Places, dialogs, items blabla...

Besides looking at the grammar I actually did know what you wrote, I just never paid it any attention really.
