That went faster than expected. Here are my recommendations:

92, 96, 110, 178, 229, 248, 275, 307, 343: leave as-is

40: Amulet. But as -> Amulet. As
56, 145, 347: pedestal. But -> pedestal, but
78, 94, 221: staircase. But -> staircase, but
81: drupelets. But -> drupelets, but
90: entity. But as -> entity. As
191: attack. But despite -> attack. Despite
211: cloak. But this -> cloak. This
231: warriors. But -> warriors, but
279: attacking. But -> attacking, but
283: wall. But when -> wall. When
286: ambush. But -> ambush, but
310: off. But -> off, but

This is really a judgment call. I looked at the preceding sentence to
see whether joining the sentences would make it feel cumbersome and if
the "but" was needed at all.
