I wrote that desc and I used moist on purpose because it forms a nice staccato when combined as "specks of froth and moist". So no, it shouldn't be mist and no, it's not a typo. :!:

Ely, I totally respect that so my apologies. Us grammar nazis can be a pain in the bum sometimes. Would love to see more examples like the above in that case!

mob: a plodding ox

A massive ox plods along in your direction. The beast stands over a man's
height and is incredibly large. Two large horns protrude from its skull

which are curved back towards the rear of the animal.

Extra line break in its long description for some reason.

Course Brush
Thick tangled brush grows all around you, making travel difficult. South
you can see that the brush becomes even thicker still, while the way east
is impassable. Westward the the brush end abruptly. Tall stand of ancient
oak trees grow in that direction. North of here you can see the beginning of
the plains.

Should be 'Coarse'. This is W of WB, near the N edge of the zone.

See it's ironic because I work for a Shakespearian theatre... Shakespeare day in and day out!

a prancing palomino mare

The coat of this mare gleams in any light the color of a freshly minted
gold coin over her well musceled body. Her long sturdy legs taper down to
dainty hooves with white markings about the ankles. A long mane and tail
the pure white color of clouds sways gently with each movement of the
horse. With calm brown eyes she survey's her world.

Forgot to log it, but the plate full of eel stuff (that LS gets from the cities), it says it's a plate of pork when it's on the ground.

Not sure if that's a typo/bug or not, really. They're just retooled, IIRC.

Inside the Farmer's Wagon
Wooden planks smoothed by years of service make the interior of this
flatbed wagon not the most comfortable place to be. A few sacks of grain
are stacked behind the driver's bench, and some stalks of straw litter the
floor, but otherwise it's empty.

A farmer placidly drives a wagon down the road.

item: a belt axe

A axe made to hang on a belt lies by the wayside.
