I'm still plodding along...Book 13 is exhausting. It's like every second or third section is multiple paragraphs, not like in the earlier books, and I never liked the Grand Master series as much. It seemed to fall into the Star Wars Novel Syndrome, in which it seems like every conflict is only there to top the previous one, not falling into a coherent storyline.

Thanks for your dedication, Taryn. Believe me, I understand how you feel! I spent a couple of hours dealing with a stupid cosmetic bug yesterday in Seventh Sense... So frustrating. I did finally get it fixed, but I'd have rather spent those hours doing something else.

[313] Struggled to cross the fissure’s uneven floor as the storm raged high above. Lost 3 EP unless Solaris. [314] Traded good-natured barbs and hard won wisdom with Lorkon over blood red wine in an alien land. [315] Considered the tomb’s lock. [316] Struggled to shake off shock’s lingering effect as the nightmarish monster under the bridge moved to finish what it had started. [317] Marvelled yet again at the Yoacor’s physically prowess as they effortless loped up the magnificent staircase as it were nothing more than a leisurely stroll. [318] Surveyed the haunting emptiness of the swirling sands with a growing horror tinged only by sadness. Spun with weapons at the ready as a huge reptile slunk into sight. [319] Fought Agtah (CS 21. EP 31). [320] Gave a silent prayer for fallen Odel and prepared to meet whatever unknown danger lurked above. [321] Frantically considered the options as the chariot drew ever nearer to the mysterious danger lurking about the bridge. [322] Released the arrow with a silent prayer even as the creature moved to escape the screaming danger. [323] Raced to the tomb’s roof, prompted by the muffled sounds of battle. [324] Slipped from the world of the living. [325] Reassured the guards of Thas. Entered the city chatting comfortably with an obviously awed escort. [326] Flew across the roof and towards the warrior’s retreating form, the momentary elation born from the sight of his torn and bleeding neck all but gone. [327] Fought Haagadar Sewer Snake (CS 25, EP 41). [328] Died alone on the Zhamin Plateau. [329] Fought Zhengha (CS 35, EP 42). [330] Stealthily slunk through the brush and undergrowth. Spied upon the unsuspecting Meledorians., [331] Skidded to a halt as the vault’s degree of infestation became rapidly apparent. [332] Leapt from the careening chariot and rolled down the treacherous slope. [333] Sent the arrow flying with a furrowed brow and silent prayer. [334] Fell into a deep though restless sleep as the winds howled and the sands danced. Ate or lost EP. [335] Sprinted across the bridge’s weather-worn planks as T’uk T’ron screamed out orders. [336] Cowered before the monstrous apparitions. [337] Entered the city under escort of heavily armed guard. [338] Dashed to the blessed safety of the forests’ shadowy interior. Lost Items. [339] Modestly received Odel’s awed praise as the sniper’s body gently twitched on the forest floor. [340] Stared intently at the platinum door’s perfectly smooth surface. [341] Fought Chaos-master (lightly wounded) (CS 47, EP 68). [342] Narrowly escaped the screaming bolts’ fatal bite as the startled scouts peppered the area. [343] Crouched low in a defensive stance as the strange ape-like beings fanned out and blocked all routes of escape. [344] Shrieked in agony as a surge of blistering magical power leapt from the pulsing lock surface. Lost 10 EP. [345] Spoke with Serocca in hushed tones about the stolen lorestones and how to retrieve them. [346] Easily identified the sword’s twisting and twirling emblems and felt a flicker of hope. [347] Psychically parleyed with the mysteriously silent beings. Excitedly mounted the strange beast. [348] Desperately waved and shouted in an attempt to draw T’uk T’ron’s wondering attention. [349] Coughed and spluttered in the slowly settling dust as the dread Zheghan stood ready to exhale its fiery breath. [350] Dreamily stepped into the chaotic violence of the Shadow Gate’s swirling maw as the Lorestone’s exuberant, effusive song seemed to whisper profound wisdoms and answers to unfathomable questions.

Great work, commentator!
I've updated the list of books to reflect both Taryn's and commentator's recent contributions. There is only one Magnakai book left, and one Grand Master left (not counting 19 & 20).
Nice work, everybody! It's pretty awesome to see your work in-game. I hope that you'll get to see it, too, and soon!

Thanks Dave, it's been awesome actually being able to contribute in some way. Looking forward to messing around with it when it's all done - I have a sudden and profound need to liberate a medieval society from the cruel machinations of a dark power.

Hey Dave,
Is there anything else we can do to help you out? Obviously nothing involving actual skills or talent, but something to somewhat reduce the burden perhaps. Secondly, at what point do the above entries become final? If I edited entries from 2 months back would that mean you had to alter them manually in your program or have they not been 'ported over or some third option? The inner perfectionist screams for satisfaction.

I have only "collected" the 1st three books of entries. So, feel free to modify your submissions for now...
I can't think of anything else at the moment... I've been making progress slowly but steadily and that "wins the race", as they say.
I am just finishing up rebuilding my computer - it went kablooey a week and half ago. Fortunately, the HDD was fine, so I pulled everything off of it onto another computer, and now its all back on the new computer. But, it has consumed many hours of hardware and software installation that I would rather have spent working on this project... Alas! such is life.
Have no fear, we'll get there!
