Fantastic - 2nd post updated - we have two full books summarized already! Sweet stuff!
As a note, it may read a bit better to simply say "Used Kai skills to do xxx" instead of "Used Weponskill or Hunting to do xxx" - similarly "Kai senses revealed xxx", instead of "Sixth Sense or Hunting revealed xxx". That way, if the player has one or the other, it still reads well. Then again, listing specific skills *does* give the player a way to review how they got to that section in the first place...
Any other ideas on that?

Great work, folks! commentator, would you like me to sign you up to finish all of Book 4? (I'm not going to make the assumption that just because someone begins to summarize a book, that they would like to do the entire thing! I'm perfectly happy with people summarizing only part of a book, if that's all they would like to do. This is a labor of love, after all!)
At this rate the entire Kai series will be done very soon!
