Keep up the good writing; it's a real treat [img]smile.gif[/img]

Snarf! Thanks for the compliment. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I was worried that 'wont' might be too unknown as a word, hence my link to the dictionary. I had a similar experience with one of my English teachers when I was younger. She had circled 'critters' as a spelling mistake, as she was under the impression that I meant to write 'creatures'.
Since I am not so hardcore as to lug around a pocket dictionary everywhere I go, I had to get the help of my friends to help me convince her that 'critters' was in fact, an actual word.
It would not have affected my grade for that essay had I left the matter alone, but it was the principle of the matter that made me pursue it.

On another note, I hope nobody minds this deviation from the ToB-storyline.
^_^;
ToB mostly consists of fights after fights, and there is only so many ways I can describe killing an opponent before it degenerates into stale bread and I grow sick of it.
It was after the Pontifex fight that I realised I was getting bored of spinning battle yarns. It saps your soul after a while, and induces a lot of Writer's Block due to the pressure of keeping it original.
I will of course, still screencap the fights and backstabs, but most of them will be relegated to the more straightforward Battle Reports. Since those deal with the technical aspects, it allows me to focus my creative energies elsewhere.
Additionally, this does not mean the end of future battle stories. If inspired enough, I will write some. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Also, most of the following stories will not accurately depict what actually happened in the game. This is intentional for more dramatic effect, and also to lessen the burden on me. For accurate depictations, read the Battle Reports.
