Found some time! :)

Maybe, but the original is fine as-is.

Yeah, what was I smoking that day? I'd suggest simply this:
DANGER! -> 'Danger!'

There's a similar situation in 146. Honestly, I don't know whether you
lose it or not. Seems like you could pick it up after the combat in
both sections, and it doesn't definitely say that you lose it like it
often does, but maybe you're still supposed to lose it? The reader is
going to have to make the call, but should we footnote it to let them
know?

It seems odd, but maybe that EP loss is from the fatigue of the last
fruitless attempt that makes you throw up your hands and walk away? :)
In any case, I don't think we have enough to go on to change the rules
here.

I see what you're getting at, but why 1 EP and not 2? This is another
situation where I don't think we have the authority to fix an
obviously problematic section.

Makes sense, but it's another judgement call that I don't think we can make.

Sounds good.

Then I guess they're going to get the bonus to the RNT. ;) The best
way to fix this that I can think of is to remove that entire sentence
and change the choices from this:
If your total score is now 3 or lower, turn to 47.
If it is 4 or higher, turn to 162.
To this:
If the number you have picked is 1, turn to 47.
If it is 2 or higher, turn to 162.
Or we could just leave it alone and let everyone who gets here get the
bonus. Thoughts?

Agreed
