Not exactly a typo...
The item pickup messages say "[character name] picks up..." but the coin pickups say "You pickup..."

In the quest log for a Shaloran "Echoes of the Spellblaze", the text for the completed Rhalore camp quest reads "You have explored the Rhaloren camp and kill the inquisitor" (should read "killed" instead of "kill").

Not quite a typo, but Rod of Recall mentions Bill even if he's not the first boss killed. Probably the second line should simply be removed.

Beta 20b still states on the World map:

There is a A gate into a maze here (press '<', '>' or right click to use).

The text splash screen at the finish of the two mages.
Not really a typo, more a matter of grammar:

Well done! You have won the Tales of Maj'Eyal: the Fourth Age


I would suggest conquered, overcome, transcended, or vanquished.

If we're going that route, I'd suggest starting with survived... and then scaling up in terms of impressive verbage as the character finishes with more personal achievements. Or some other heuristic. Winning below level 40 should get to a special verb. Perhaps abused.

Looking through the Char vault, none of the posted winners so far that has finished the vanilla game under level 50.
Maybe they are not quite that suicidal :lol: :lol:

It's hard to finish under level 50, seeing how much xp the final bosses give...

Description of Moon dagger:
"Devouring the light abound, it fades"
abound should be around?
And maybe that sentence should be rephrased a bit? "It devours the light, and fades into darkness." ?

b21: Letter to Rolf 1 says "Imagine, in you will, a wolf." Change that in to if.

In the lore text 'The story of my salvation':

1) 'shouts from the distance' should probably be 'distant shouts' or 'shouts in the distance'
2) 'fianc' should be 'fiancé'. I'm guessing that ToME just had trouble with the special character.

It should probably be split into two or three pieces. It's a pretty daunting wall of text right now.
