Other than the map issues mentioned in another thread, P 41 Karlae Siegfrost sems to have the last sentence cut in half. What does she do in her role as Mayor Amring's chief adviser that is notable?
Also when there are lists of notable NPCs like p60, would it be possible to put in the descriptions which are pathfinders (two of those listed are mentioned as being pathfinders, but it doesn't say it in their accomplishments on this table) it would help in adventure writing, even if they are just denoted with a *.

The halfling magistrate of Falcon's Hollow has two listings under notable NPCs and both are vastly different. Any chance of getting this cleared up?
There's one that's clearly wrong. If I remember correctly, one is evil and one is not, yes? The one that's not evil is the error. Feel free to ignore that information.

Sorry, these NPC blurbs really pulled me in, and this one is still bugging me..... *Bump*P 41 Karlae Siegfrost sems to have the last sentence cut in half. What does she do in her role as Mayor Amring's chief adviser that is notable?
Unfortunately, I can't answer this one. It's an unfortunate editing error, and whatever WAS at the end is more or less gone now. The official errata is to delete the fragmentary sentence entirely.
I am a little confused here, hope somebody can help me.
On p. 17, it says that the River Foam is impossibly to travel on, due to the currents.
On p. 18, it says that Gold Falls Inn makes a lot of money operating the sluice.
Why would someone need a sluice if you can't use a boat on the river anyway? And wouldn't the ford a couple of miles north of it, ruining any boat travel anyway?
And according to the map in the gazetteer, the river ends not too long away from Gold Falls anyway (by the look of it). I can't see why that sluice should be such a source of revenue for the inn.

The implication is that they are talking about a permanent gold sluice structure. Basically, I'm envisioning a long, narrow chute through which the river water flows, dropping bits of gold into collection traps as it does so. The Berekland family (and by extension the Gold Falls Inn) earns its income in gold effectively panned from the river. Thus, the sluice doesn't enable or control flow of river traffic.
I hope that helps. It's not an official answer, but it's the closest thing I can think of.

Yes, I believe is is a gold sluice. I looked up "sluice" on m-w.com. It had many definitions, but one was something like a trough that has a quicksliver bottom and is used for panning gold. Therefore gold = lots of $$.
Ah... that makes a lot more sense, of course. I am a non-native speaker, and obviously missed the ambiguous meaning of the word.
Thanks!
